BOL Round Table

I say can him!

A little defense for Pannunzio

If he is insinuating that there were many incidents where he uncovered NCAA impropriety then Murray State better have self reported every single one of them.

Otherwise you covered it up and that is a clear lack of institutional control, and they guy making the claim now should be fired immediately.

So go ahead under the freedom of information act and let’s find out what was actually reported.

So the ball is in your court F. King Alexander. What did he do? and more importantly what did you report when you found out about it? If you reported nothing and now you claim there was something, then you should be fired immediately.

My guess in time he will be gone....

One of my good friends played for him at Murray. Just talked to him and he had great things to say about him and loved playing for him, but said it was known that a few of the players were getting benefits from him.

He may indeed get fired from Alabama. But it still doesn't change the fact that this guy should not claim NCAA violations unless he reported those violations to the NCAA because that is his responsibility. If these supposed violations were reported (which I suspect they were not), then the NCAA obviously did not find them serious enough to levy any sanctions on the program.

Which is exactly why we will not move a single inch on this issue until the NCAA moves first.

Anyone that truly thinks we should make drastic coaching changes based on hearsay and slander(the asshat in the OP's article is either lying or a total moron) is likely a barner or self-righteously delusional. How would you feel if I walked into your office, told everyone you'd embezzled thousands years ago at another company, and just walked right out? If your company was really stupid enough to fire you over possible BS then you would have a nice, gigantic payout from the wrongful termination suit you would be all but certain to win. And it really wouldn't even matter if I was lying or not. The onus of proof would be on the institution and if it couldn't be proven then there is no evidence. A con, by himself, is not going to hold up against any lawyer worth a damn.

If we aren't doing anything wrong, then neither of these coaches will be fired until the NCAA rules on the subject. CNS is far from stupid. Neither will be fired.

There are a few things Italian guys from Miami are good at. Being shady is one of them.

Exactly so he is either making it up or complicite. Either was is reason enough to ignore him.
