starting on page 7 is the real juicy stuff. A lot of names and info is redacted, but you can tell that
1) they were making illegal phone calls to multiple student athletes not just the miles kid that started this whole investigation.
2) that every single member of the coaching staff including calhoun placed at least 1 impermissable call. And the person making the most impermissable calls wasn’t even allowed to be making calls in the first place.
3) The provided Miles with a whole lot of stuff and the NCAA states that UCONN knew or at least should have known about it.
4) one of the assitants gave a recruit improper benefits and there’s a lot redacted in there, so it could be a lot. Based on the follow up questions it sounds lik the coach may have paid for him to take the SAT or something to that extent.
5) the 2 assitants who “resigned” blatently lied to the NCAA durign the investigation.
6) The Uconn staff was giving out tickets to highschool coaches to away games. Calhoun himself is named as having given away tickets.
7) the report states calhoun knew about certain impermissable calls and the realtionship between miles and the agent.

Uconn’s in for it now.

Gary Coleman would have wanted it that way.
