When should we have answers...

NCAA files their first report 6 months after the initial inquiry notice, January 30th is the date stamped on the NCAA initial inquiry letter sent to Royce Engstrom, so the end of July the NCAA should have something to say.

JJ... well he has been judged guilty by the complete sham of a honor court at UM, Engstrom sent him a farewell letter in the mail, and the last option for him is a BOR appeal. I think the BOR/Clay Christian are actually sitting on this right now mulling over their options. One hell of a lawsuit is going to ensue if they expel JJ as is, and no charges are filed. Im kinda hoping this happens as it might help clean out the trash at UM / BOR right now.

DOJ... the Missoula County DA is stonewalling them and telling them to F-off essentially atm. Im not sure what the University is doing/or not doing atm. I would even speculate that Engstrom/Aronofsky in fact called in the DOJ to investigate the city/county to take some of the heat off of them at the University. In a small yelling match a couple weeks ago Aranofsky denied this was the case to me on the phone. At least he stated he did not request the DOJ come to town.

I think don't think he needs to be charged to have violated some of the student conduct code at UM. It is a privilege to play college football. These are two separate issues entirely. The UM administration has every right to be mad at what he did and take disciplinary action on him Do you all like having UM's name drug through the mud nationally? You realize JJ was a part of this right?

I do agree there needs to be a CLEANING HOUSE from top to bottom. That is the ONLY way you know for sure things will be on track for righting the ship.

Do they have the right the rewrite the rule book after the fact? :? :?

I would have hoped that would have been in the rule book? :roll:

My understanding is they've redefined the parameters and are now holding him to the new, looser definition of misconduct (and proof thereof)...

I must be the only lacky on this board feeling we did not need a house cleaning!

Further, another sober thought comes to mind, I now think we need a complete house cleaning!

Funny how a fire job can change ones mind! Rules be damned.

The football coaches are searching for a new QB because they realize that JJ will be immersed in appeals to the Board of Regents etc. likely over the next 6 months or more. Likely, this situation causes, in the short term, 2012 to become JJ's red shirt year.

My guess, is that he will 'win' on the appeals process to the extent that the University will re-hear his expulsion case. If he is expelled again, then that's it. He's gone for good. If, on the other hand, he is found to be worthy to stay in school, then he will play the 2013 season as a Junior.

The prospect, for the short term, is that it is unlikely JJ will be playing football in the 2012 season.

Never thought of that possibility. In hindsight, it might be a good thing his RS was not used as a true FR. :thumb:
