Dickie V is at it again with constant tweets calling for Miller's head

[Teamgame]

A few days ago Vitale mentions ASU and their coaching staff. It's pretty obvious that he's trying damage the UofA, increasing the possibility of ASU being a better program under Hurley. He loves Hurley. As for Duke and it's issues- it's plain and simply don't bite the feeds you. (ESPN/Vitale)

Dickie V is definitely somewhere punching the air tonight. His whole hit job just got much harder.

Yep.

What we know right now makes the incident a level 3 violation with Book. Now the issue with the flight could be an issue, but it was a self reported situation, and there were reasons it was done.
The issue with O' Neal is a none factor or should be.

Phelps and Pinder both served one game suspensions for the plane ticket (that was later reimbursed by Keanu's family).  That won't play a role in Arizona's fate.

There's a chance that Phelps' online classroom assistance for Shareef O'Neal is mentioned...however there's no way Arizona gets punished for that situation, unless the NCAA finds that UCLA was guilty of the same while Reef was enrolled in LA.

Lack of institutional control for Book's actions are the only considerations at the moment...unless the NCAA found recruiting violations that haven't been revealed publicly.  Doubtful, so I assume we get a couple years of probation & everybody moves on.  Yawn...

We will get hit boys but the NCAA having none of the feds evidence will definitely limit the pain. I think we get by with no post-season ban which is all I really cared about. Probably lose schollies, recruiting hours for Miller, and 2-3 years of probation.

Dick Vitale needs to retire already, there are 20 coaches he could focus on but is obsessed with miller. Maybe it is just pettiness now since he caught so much shit for it.

Level 3 offense!

Doubt we get that much.

what does "probation" mean in terms of college sports (or just basketball).  Just would like some clarity thanks

I stole this from an article about Syracuse:

In short, Syracuse will have to regularly report to the NCAA during the five-year probation period to ensure that the university is following NCAA rules. There are specific facets of probation that are detailed in the NCAA's full report and they paraphrased, from pages 67–69 in the report, below.

1. Educating coaches, staff

During the five-year probation period, Syracuse has to "develop and implement a comprehensive educational program" that will teach coaches, faculty athletic representatives, all athletic department personnel and all university staff responsible for the certification of student-athletes, the finer points of the NCAA's eligibility rules for admission, financial aid, practices and games.

The NCAA is requiring Syracuse to submit a preliminary report to the NCAA Office of the Committees on Infractions by May 1, 2015, to detail how the university plans to implement this educational program in relation to the released violations. Furthermore, Syracuse is required to submit compliance reports that detail the progress of this education program to the committee by Nov. 1 in each year of the probation period.

As for what these compliance reports should contain, the NCAA specified: "Particular emphasis should be placed on policies and procedures relating to student-athlete academic support and student-athletes' interactions with community organizations. Additional emphasis should be placed on the institution's monitoring efforts. The reports must also include documentation of the institution's compliance with the penalties adopted and prescribed by the committee."

2. Educating student-athletes

The NCAA is also requiring SU to explain to prospective athletes that the university will be on probation for five years. The report details that information regarding the NCAA violations and punishments needs to be sent to a student-athlete prior to an official paid visit to campus, and before a student-athlete signs a letter of intent to attend Syracuse.

3. Publicizing infractions

Moving forward, probation requires Syracuse to release a statement that details the violations and the programs affected within the athletic department. It also requires SU to have a direct link to the public infractions decision released by the NCAA to appear on the athletic department's website, which is Cuse.com.

Probation also requires Syracuse to include all of this information in its media guides and alumni publications. The NCAA states in the report that the university's statements should include clear descriptions of the infractions, the length of the probationary period connected to the infractions and give the public a general a "clear indication" of what happened in the case "to allow the public to make informed, knowledgeable opinions." The NCAA reiterates that that last clause is especially important for prospective student-athletes and their families.

4. In five years...

When the probationary period is over, Syracuse's chancellor — whether that be Kent Syverud or anyone else — needs to send a letter to the NCAA that the institution's current athletic "policies and practices conform to all requirements of NCAA regulations."

5. Violation of probation

The NCAA closes the section of probation by advising Syracuse to closely follow all of the requirements of the five-year probationary period. It says that it will closely follow the university during this time, and that violations of probation — or any additional violations — could result in the extension of the probationary period or additional, "more severe penalties."

Nice example

What level offenses were Syracuse deemed to have done? And just as important is the length of time it occured.
Failure to monitor for long periods dictates higher level offenses. In Arizona's case they fired Book right away. I know we all hate knee jerk reactions. Let's also remember that Arizona did an internal investigation as well as hiring an outside group to do a separate investigation.  If there were anything there CSM would be gone.
