Why not have transparency? Why not tell us why this guy Baker was fired. In fact they should tell us.I've no idea if this probe touches UA basketball, but there's no need in rushing to judgement and assuming the worst regarding our program - let's exercise a little patience.
He resigned. I doubt we'll hear much more for quite some time.Why not have transparency? Why not tell us why this guy Baker was fired. In fact they should tell us.
Well, right now I think of lot of programs are in trouble and it's just going to get stankier.Local radio guy Scott Griffin - with loads of longtime connects - has sources telling him that Bruce Pearl and Sean Miller are in boiling hot water.
It is possible that Baker had some relationship with one or more of these sleaze balls in his position at Alabama or one of his other jobs, possibly even when he was with NCAA Compliance.This sounds more along the lines of missuse of funds or phone or text messages used inappropriately. They said no NCAA or SEC rules were found to be broken but he resigned. So they found something inappropriate in some other capacity it sounds.
They may have to based on the NCAA's interpretation of "amateur athlete."I have a feeling that this is going to be a monumental shift in college basketball and few teams will go untouched. I could see a lot of super talented kids forgoing the College model altogether and moving straight to the G-League.
I wonder how this will affect AAU basketball as well?
Lots of money at stake...I hope it kills AAU.
Not familiar with him? What's his connection to those in the know?Jamie Barnes is as well connected as any ...... out there - issuing warnings tonight about throwing stones at the Barn.
Ugh.
It's a TiderInsider thing - can't flesh it out more - but if you follow him, he's always in the know. Simple as that - there are others, too - Jimmy Stein, Patrick Walls, etc.Not familiar with him? What's his connection to those in the know?
Could he just be referring to the Baker resignation or is it something else ?Jamie Barnes is as well connected as any ...... out there - issuing warnings tonight about throwing stones at the Barn.
Ugh.
