I think you're trolling. If other schools investigated themselves to this extent they'd find stuff like this as well. Some more and some less. I'm not excusing it but it's not affecting games.
Maybe that is the angle here: we self report when a coach continues to communicate with his previous player/recruit and take self proclaimed punishment for it. Now, when KU does it, they look like the bad guy and lose one of their most prominent recruiting tactics. Brilliant! CFH is a genius!
You really don't think we contacted anyone in 2010 or 2011 that might still be on our football or basketball rosters right now?
And as I said, it doesn't really even matter what we did or didn't do in the court of public opinion. We committed major NCAA violations..... PERIOD. That's all anyone else in the country hears. They don't read the entire report. ISU cheats. That's it.
It will take several years before we lose this stigma I'm afraid. Truth hurts, and it sucks!
You're a ******* *****. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to say that, but you're a ******* *****.
I also live in the real world, but I prefer to wait and see what actually happens instead of worrying about it because then you are just wasting energy.
How many times do I need to repeat that it doesn't matter what happens now.
I live in the Cedar Rapids area, and all the 3 news channels have said on this side of the state tonight, over and over again, is that Iowa State's Athletic Department committed MAJOR NCAA VIOLATIONS. Thousands of improper phone calls to recruits. That's it. That's what is out there right now. Nobody, besides us die hard ISU fans, will bother to look at this report, or at the findings by the NCAA.
Throughout the state, and the country right now, we are known as cheaters. It DOES NOT matter what happens after this point in terms of how we are portrayed. Heck, we might as well be USC, as far as our reputation goes now.
Dude, you need a reality check. There are players getting paid and recruits bought by hiring AAU, high-school coach, or fathers as coaches in package deals. This is nothing. No one except you and other trolls care about 25 calls Lefty Moore made to his former mentee. No one in the two cities I live in would even have a clue what you are talking about.
I'd be fine cheating more if it meant titles like auburn fb and Kentucky bb, but this is to lame to amount to crap. And clonedude is the type of fan I don't even understand why he bothers. Dude, go find something that makes you and us less miserable.
Well ****, since the media said so, guess it is over. I mean I guess it was over during the whole realignment fiasco, but apparently I'm wrong. Now it's ***Officially*** over.
I want you all to know that as a Cyclone Fan my heart is tied in what the media in Cedar ******* Rapids cares. It is the end. Burn it all. Tell my mom I loved her.
Too dramatic and you are diminishing accomplishment due to your own jaded world view when you have not one shred of info.
Not one basketball player at ISU in the past 3 years was on the receiving end of those texts or calls. NOT ONE- Every athlete on the other end of this was immediately ruled out of coming to ISU.
I don't know the status of the athletes in football.

I understand Moore being a mentor to him but its very likely that we didn't want him after his injuries too. The kid only had offers from Drake and Iowa...not like he was a big time recruit last summer.
