Iowa State - NCAA Violations

I don't believe it would be basketball as it stated the coaching staff from 2008 to 2011 and Fred Hoiberg was not the coach in 2008 or 2009!!!

Think outside the box..TJ Otzelberger was also on McDermott's staff and was the lead recruiter for both coaches. Not saying it was him but the possibility is there.

Baylor had over 1200 impermissible contacts (calls and texts) in just over 2 years. ISU is talking about 79 impermissible contacts - only one third of which were by coaches - in three years. This is not the Baylor situation.

Actually Baylor had 1266 impermissable contacts, so in the overall scheme of what was reported in the media, ISU's 79 in comparison to Baylor's amounts to a rounding error.
 
If your going to admit this, at least admit it on a day when videotape of another coach cursing out & throwing basketballs at his players surfaces.....
 
The media will blow this out of proportion, guaranteed.

They're already trying. It's the lead story on the Register site.

"Iowa State athletic department officials had no immediate comment Tuesday about news that coaches and other athletic staff apparently made 79 phone calls to recruits in violation of NCAA rules."

Never mind that the press release issued by Iowa State -- and published in its entirety by the DMR -- specifically stated there would be no further comment, and that this "news" was provided directly by Iowa State and required no effort from the DMR other than to open an e-mail.
 
So what does this suggestion of two years probation mean? It looks like a pretty minor infraction and it was self reported, but when it comes to the NCAA and ISU, history would say to throw common sense out the window.
