[goatcreekgriz]

Did not see any post about this KUFM interview broadcast yesterday. Discussion of DOE/DOJ/NCAA investigations and former players begins about 8:25 in, and lasts about three minutes:

This has been the expectation for a few months now, hasn't it?

They have much larger fish to fry - Miami, Oregon, etc.

Let's hope the U fo MT isn't used as an appetizer for the NCAA "fish fry."

They have a new tier approach. I'm not sure if we are subject to it or not.

A few of the write ups on the Penn State investigation noted that the NCAA did very little of its own investigating and simply let DOJ and Penn St. appointed investigator Louis Free do all the heavy lifting. If that's the case, the NCAA could be done with its own investigating at UM and may be waiting to see if DOJ or the Dept. of Ed turn up anything.

UNLV will be playing for a national championship in football before this is over.

Finally some kind of news with an idea of when this wraps up. What I was told and posted within the last month to 2 of anywhere between signing day and spring camp looks to be accurate.

Personally would love to see everything come out before signing day if good news, after signing day if bad. I am guessing it will not be as extreme as the naysayers have said/posted.

It would be nice to just be focusing on JJ's trial for most of February. Realistically, sometime just before spring camp would be reasonable though.

Didn't the university have its own independent investigation performed by Diane Bartz which really didn't uncover the big "cover up."
