The Last Straw for Jim Calhoun and UConn? NCAA Violations Coming to Storrs...

PrintUsually we here at THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON scrape the bottom of the barrel for sources of news coverage, so it came as a surprise this morning when the Wall Street Journal reported on the imminent demise of UConn hoops. The article centers its focus around UConn head coach Jim Calhoun, and seems to question whether the ongoing lengthy discussions over his contract have something to do with a soon to be released report on UConn's recruiting violations.
Why the long face, Coach?
UConn violations after The Jump:
In another setback for the coach, a person familiar with the matter said a representative from the NCAA, which has been investigating Mr. Calhoun's program for possible recruiting violations, has informed the school that investigators have found violations and will be issuing a report in the near future.
According to the article, Calhoun's current contract gives UConn the right to discipline Calhoun in the event he is found by the university or the NCAA to have committed violations. Calhoun's current contract, which expires on June 30th, has been renegotiated and seemingly agreed upon months ago, but neither side has yet to sign on the dotted line.
Could UConn be forced to make a change this summer? Will some of their prized recruits begin to look elsewhere?
Stay tuned.

Roscoe Smith!!!
Even though we don’t really want him anymore because we have the savior Moses Abraham and would rather use Greg Monroe’s scholarship on a huge momma recruit from the Class of 2011
Good talk.
makes sense now
since he had absolutely nothing to say about UCONN in that interview, which was really suspicious, as if his reason for chosing UCONN couldn’t be publicly stated
My doublestuffed oreos fell on the floor of my mom's basement. Save me swagman!

Quick
Someone set up a fake facebook account for Jim Calhoun and confirm the cheating via a wall post. Roscoe will never see through our cunning ruse.

I, for one, could handle Roscoe rounding out the '10 class.
With 5 recruits, it’d be a great core to build around
I was reading the husky boards to see their reaction to this...
and guess what I found out?
Did you know that the WSJ is a mouth piece for Kentucky and that Calapari planted this smear piece in the WSJ to convince CJ leslie to pick Kentucky over Uconn.
too bad that little plan back fired and Leslie went with his original pick of NC st this afternoon.
Indeed
I have heard that Calipari is in line for an Editor position at the WSJ after his wins at Kentucky are vacated.
Casually.
