No one should be surprised by this. Most teams with "elite" prospects on them are coached by a parent or relative on their AAU team with little or no actual coaching experience. The shoe companies then pay these coaches through program "sponsorships" so they can gain favor with that prospect and their family. Same thing that schools do when they hire a recruit's dad, friend or relative on as an assistant coach. It's incredibly tough to regulate, because the NCAA can't do anything about AAU basketball, and they also can't dictate to people what kind of jobs their families can have.

DePaul might be cheating and they're STILL this bad?

Now that is a level of incompetence that would make Milwaukee fans blush and their AD proud.

Any DePaul investigation ends with UIC on probation.

How dare they punish a better program like that?

Kansas allegedly cheated. In other news: water is wet, the sky is blue, the sun rises in the East, and the NCAA will do nothing whatsoever about this beyond stern words of feigned indignation a cursory finger wag and maybe a fine.

I remember someone on the board vehemently defending Bill Self as a man of great integrity. It had to do with an alleged rape. Unfortunately, I don't recall the specifics. It will be interesting to follow this.

.........and the NCAA will put Emporia State University on three years probation to punish the state of Kansas.

Actually the NCAA might have to punish Pittsburg State (alma mater of a former Valpo player) too. Who has ever heard of a Gorilla in Kansas? That would punish the southeastern part of Kansas too.
