I think Wojcik would be a good coach for them.
Perhaps they will announce the probation before the start of conference season. The league might want to ban SMU from the conference tournament to avoid having the winner be ineligible for the NCAA.
One less bid to the NCAA - bad for AAC. One NCAA game and no wins for Brown - good for everyone and yet another lesson (forgotten repeatedly) for SMU - can't buy wins by cheating.
Plausible deniability.
I will be shocked if any of the assistant coaches roll over on ole Larry. SMU will get a one year ban and lose a ship and Larry will get a few harsh words from the NCAA. Meanwhile, SMU keeps bringing in top talent.
True......Although this is his third offense, and in some respects the most blatant, he will
get something more than just a slap on the wrist, and everything will be deemed OK.....
He (via his assistants) has always recruited on the edge (or just over), and mostly gotten
away with it.......His team is a good one, and because of a great point guard, and lots of
inside strength, will prob. win the regular season AAC championship.....
We seem to be headed for the 3-4 slot (optimistic) with a very experienced team that Haith
has sadly not added to in any substantial way........Enjoy this one though.....It may be quite
a while before we see the top 4-5 again......
Very good basketball in the AAC....And possibly getting better....I hope we can remain
part of the upper tier.......After this season, that seems very problematical......At best, we
seem to be recruiting at a conf. USA level....Certainly not at an AAC level....

Unlikely, that would require them giving up what induced them to join Pony.any of their recruits having second thoughts?
Will be interesting to finally see the NCAA's findings. If Frazier was found to have been illegally ushered to SMU, it would be an absolute travesty that he would be allowed to ever play at SMU.A recent interview by John Rothstein about the NCAA infractions

I saw that too. It was hilarious, considering he couldn't fix the Bobcats in 2 years. In fact, they went 9-19 before he was fired.Interestingly enough, CBS Sports just tweeted out a Larry Brown quote that "he could fix the Sixers in 5 minutes". As in NBA Sixers. Is Larry trying to get back into the NBA? Get another school in trouble and cut and run.
