May 14, 200719 yr Any search of my IP would show first and foremost I am a UC fan. Simple as that... Or a fan of some other sites. :fire: :walk: :walk: :walk: :walk: :walk:
May 14, 200719 yr If the NCAA starts punishing universities for their fans, rest assured I will go to the Boone County Library and have Ohio State's program sanctioned into the stone age.
May 14, 200719 yr Any search of my IP would show first and foremost I am a UC fan. Simple as that... Now we're talking about tracking IP addresses to find out allegiances? Sounds like the NCAA would have to throw a whole lot of money at this problem. I'm not sure they'd be willing to do it. Plus this is starting to sound a whole lot like fascism.
May 14, 200719 yr It'll never get that far though... Even if they did IP searches, I'd be 99% sure they'd realize it wasn't boosters leaving the messages... Just loser fans with nothing better to do with their lives... And like I've already stated, punishing the program wouldn't stop it.
May 14, 200719 yr So how would the NCAA police this Hamga situation when his "brother" (son of the family he lives with) is on the same page changing things and startign groups in which Beas is a part of saying UK Class of 2011. Would they charge his "brother" as an illegal contact, just because his "brother" goes to school at UK?

The NCAA makes the rules, and they can do what they want to enforce them. If a person is stupid enough to go this far, maybe they need investigated...

If a person is stupid enough to go this far, maybe they need investigated... I understand that. The NCAA makes rules that recruits, coaches, staffs and boosters must follow. But do those rules apply to Joe Schmo, too?
May 14, 200719 yr Author I understand that. The NCAA makes rules that recruits, coaches, staffs and boosters must follow. But do those rules apply to Joe Schmo, too? Not yet...
May 14, 200719 yr Not yet... And they never will. A school can not be held responsible for something an individual does on his own in his free time. I don't understand what you're trying to get across with these posts. I think most realize how pathetic it is that some of these so called fans feel like they are helping out by sending potential recruits messages. At the same time, no one can really do anything to stop these people from doing these types of things.
May 14, 200719 yr Author And they never will. A school can not be held responsible for something an individual does on his own in his free time. A school is held responsible when a single booster influences a player on his own free time...
May 14, 200719 yr A school is held responsible when a single booster influences a player on his own free time... I thought we were talking about Joe Schmo??
May 14, 200719 yr Show me where this has been an issue on the magnitude of Patterson and now Hamga in the NCAA hoops world... Why don't you show us where the past examples are that you mentioned in another thread? It's pathetic. And it's going to burn the program big time one of these days. See past history for examples...
May 14, 200719 yr Author I thought we were talking about Joe Schmo?? It wasn't long ago the average booster was considered Joe Schmo. UK helped lead us out of that era. Here we go again. UK fans and boosters take a lot of pride in being the most "passionate". It's a double edge sword. Creating new rules with the NCAA is a direct result. Like I said. Keep it up. It makes for good debate...
