Rick Barnes and Texas in Hot Water...
- Thread starter MWes11
- Start date
On October 24, 2000, the NCAA published its public infractions report relating to University of Minnesota men's basketball. Among its findings of rules violations:[5][6]
- Gangelhoff prepared nearly 400 pieces of coursework for at least 18 basketball players;
- The academic counselor assigned to men's basketball at Minnesota, Alonzo Newby,[7] orchestrated the academic fraud;
- Head coach Clem Haskins knew about the fraudulent activities of Gangelhoff, improperly provided benefits to Gangelhoff and the academic counselor;
- In 1986, Haskins was quoted in a memo by an academics counselor: "If someone doing a paper for a student-athlete would allow him the opportunity to be eligible to compete and therefore succeed, we need to do the paper for him;"
- And the academic counselor and other basketball staffers intimidated professors and registrar staff into changing grades for student-athletes to maintain eligibility.
BTW, this is interesting for UNC fans:
Following its investigation, the NCAA issued the following sanctions:[5]
- Four years of probation until October 23, 2004;
- A reduction of five scholarships in total until the 2003–04 season;
- A reduction of six paid visits by recruits until the 2002–03 season;
- Vacation of all appearances in the 1994, 1995, and 1997 NCAA Tournaments and 1996 and 1998 National Invitational Tournaments, as well as individual records of student-athletes found to have committed academic fraud;
- And show-cause penalties for Haskins and Newby (both until October 23, 2007) and Gangelhoff (until October 23, 2005).
Sadly for Minnesota they've never been as important to the NCAA's coffers as UNC or Texas.

Is Booby the same poster as UNC71-00 on the main board? If not, he's his twin.
You guys are nucking futs if you think the NCAA will punish Texas more than north Carolina. Even if they do "like" Carolina, they fear Texas more.
It seems as though Mark Emmert is doing his job very well. UNC, Syracuse, now Texas and Tenn are under investigation. Isn't Emmert leading the charge of these investigations?
Emmert should demand the AD's stop hiring coaches that have a record of cheating and lying. It would make Emmerts job a lot easier.
This is really getting to be laughable with grown adults criticizing Emmert for his efforts on trying to catch all the grown adult cheaters who can't run a program without cheating. Just wait till they start paying the players who are already getting a free education with boar.d and meals. Talk about opening a can of worms
I think the timing might be bad for UNC,between Syracuse and Texas the NCAA get painted into a corner with orange paint no less
