Will NCAA award Bradley additional WINS if corruption & violations are confirmed at other schools

[tornado]

Here's who we have lost games to that might have benefited from use of illegal players when we played them - according to names revealed in the FBI probe & trial...

-Wichita State- Fred Van Vleet and Landry Shamet alleged to have received illegal payments and maybe more will be uncovered...
We lost 11 times to Wichita while either Van Vleet or Shamet was playing.
Twice in 2012-13, twice in 2013-14, twice in 2014-15, twice in 2015-16, and 3 times in 2016-17.

If we get those games awarded back to us - Bradley's records become:
2012-13: 20-15 instead of 18-17
2013-14: 14-18 instead of 12-20
2014-15: 11-22 instead of 9-24
2015-16: 7-25 instead of 5-27
2016-17: 16-17 instead of 13-20 -- PLUS - we then would have advanced past the Shockers to the semi-finals of the MVC Tournament
...and faced Missouri State for a chance to face ISU for the Valley Championship!


-Creighton - so far the only players named are Bowen & Patton and they did not land Bowen & we never played against Patton, so unless more names get revealed we wouldn't pick up any forfeited wins here. But they need to be investigated. Remember - Bradley got a huge NCAA investigation on simply the allegation of a disgruntled former assistant who claimed we were holding illegal summer practices! When NCAA couldn't find any such evidence they just kept digging randomly until they discovered the trivial, unintended & inadvertent summer job payments.

-Arizona - we lost to Arizona in 2015 and currently none of the named players was there at that time - but further investigation by NCAA might open the possibility they've paid players as far back as 2015.

- Utah - we haven't lost to Utah since 2010 - so unless more names get uncovered that far back we won't pick up anything here

At least one other Creighton player's name has surfaced in this investigation- Justin Patton, but there are rumors that there are others-

and as many as 36 teams are in the FBI reports but some have yet to be made known publicly

"A source familiar with the investigation -- which includes more than 4,000
conversations intercepted through wiretaps and financial records, emails and
other records seized from NBA agent Andy Miller's office -- told ESPN
that many of the sport's top coaches and players might be implicated."
"It's not the mid-major programs who were trying to buy players to get to the
top," the source told ESPN. "It's the teams that are already there."

"..sources with knowledge of the FBI investigation told ESPN this week that
the clandestine probe could result in potential NCAA violations for as many as
three dozen Division I programs, based on information included in wiretap
conversations from the defendants and financial records, emails and cell
phone records seized from NBA agent Andy Miller."

As sleazy as all this news is about the top schools offering 6-figure amounts of cash to land individual recruits, I seriously doubt those schools will ever received significant penalties from the NCAA. The NCAA has already proven many times that they don't take punishment for major rules violations seriously unless it is a smaller school trying to break into that upper echelon. Then they'll slap that mid-major down hard. But the big boys will get a token punishment like requiring coaches to attend a couple meetings, and extending the previous probation they were already on.

In fact, I suspect some of these top echelon schools consider it a badge of honor to be mentioned in this FBI investigation. It might even be useful as a recruiting tool in the future if recruits think those top schools are willing throw hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash at them. I wouldn't be surprised if wannabee schools like Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, etc, aren't calling the FBI and asking for their names to be mentioned.

Getting hard up for wins aren??™t you? Those seasons are over. Forget about them and start looking forward to what??™s ahead.

Speaking of ethics violations....

UIC head coach Steve McClain just got a writeup in the Sun Times for an ethics violation..
