"The NCAA is investigating the Connecticut men's basketball program, the school said in a statement to Hearst Connecticut Media.":

Could not happen to better fan base.

How the hell didn't this happen when Calhoun was around? Oh...never mind. :rolleyes:

You know our current men’s basketball coach is a UConn/Calhoun guy right? Those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

"... first losing season in 3 decades". All of us around here would love to be able to say that about one of our programs. Let the beatings and punishment begin. We have proven ourselves College Sports Masochists already.

Good timing on Pike's extension and buyout clause, because UConn could have and still may come calling.

... a struggling program now contracts a case of the flu - could be quite debilitating & involve a long recovery

in other words: when it rains it pours.
First losing season or not, UConn is being investigated and might be in a downwards spiral under Ollie.
I thought he might just keep that program on top, but could be the NCAA is looking at his program closer than they did when Calhoun ran it and that's beginning to take its toll on the type of players he's able to recruit , without the NCAA checking it out.
