@FarmerJayhawk Again, I don’t think our NCAA venom is entirely well placed. The suspension for Wiseman was relatively predictable. See Bilas’ comments before the suspension was released. We’ve seen guys get suspensions based on the improper benefits, and that it’s based on the amount received. The NCAA always requires payback. And if you review the terms, it’s very flexible, almost permitting him to skate on some of it.

@ajvan The reason, I think, is because of the facts with Wiseman were well developed and known. When there is more info to be added, investigated, etc., that takes more time. Silvio situation was less than clear with all the denials and b.s. out there. Same with Preston. Wiseman, there were no real denials of what took place if I understood it right. The issue was just what would occur because of it. But I’m not defending the time delays.
However, the ridiculous delays we saw with the NCAA in some of our cases – Diallo sticks out to me – were really a joke.
My beef isn’t with the NCAA in this case. I believe it was open and shut, run of the mill eligibility stuff that they handled relatively quickly.
My beef with the NCAA is they don’t follow their own precedents and sanctions vary widely between cases with very similar facts.
