Man...Brett Shipp is not the guy you want launching into an investigation on anything you care about. He's good, thorough and this won't be pleasant for them. In short, lolz.

I love that the attitude isn't "well, we have been known to cheat before" and is instead "WFAA is picking on us" or "was it a UT reporter?"

Someone tell me again about all the "good apples" at D-bag U.

Also, sounds like the grade fixing pertains to a player's grades in HS.

I rather have Benford with a losing record then this disgrace. You go to college for the main purpose of learning. Terrible for SMU but maybe UNT can benefit.

You know what would be worse? The losing and Benford and something like this happening to us. Just sayin'.

Man, I just can't believe their reaction. Do they not know that Larry Brown has cheated everywhere he has been?

And instead of "if there is a problem, lets get it fixed, take our punishment, and move on" it's "don't admit anything, hire a lawyer, cover things up."

I guess that fan base didn't learn anything from the 80s.

Sad.

Just watched the 1st episode -- it sounds like Frazier was failing and his grades were changed by Kimble high school. An SMU assistant was in contact with Kimble high school and called them on the day it was changed. So the issue is was SMU involved in pressuring them to change the grades? Also, SMU has known about this for a couple of months yet Larry Brown said today that he knew nothing about it. There is a second part on tomorrow nite.

There were concerns that Frazier would not be eligible this past summer. He had some work to do to become eligible. Shipp has been after Frazier and Kimball for over a year. The issue before was his residence (living in Irving) while attending Kimball. He is a snake and tries to ambush folks on tape.

He had similar issues with Tony Mitchell and Pinkston. He was responsible for the UIL taking away 2 state championship trophies from SOC. My problem with him is that his reports are rating based as he only goes after the top recruit or top team.

SMU has a history of not relaxing their admission standards for top athletes. The coaches had become frustrated with the administration. This may have changed.

      A personal fav: It was more "how" they lost. As other posters have commented, the offense has no flow, no purpose and zero situational awareness. The whole thing looks like a discombobulated goat rodeo, and I watched the second half of the second half, which was light years better than the first. They scored 3 baskets and 14 points in the first half. More turnovers than made baskets. That is next-level incompetence, and I can't believe all these players suddenly forgot how to play basketball at a high level. ...also, the obligatory "I was a 30+ year season ticket holder until I saw this mess" statement by a frustrated fan. Ever read that before?

      Come March, let's see who is dancing. Maybe some of these Gophers will come above ground and support us since they will probably be watching.

      Watched the game on Youtube last night. Couple of thoughts/observations. 1. What is the purpose of the raised court? I think Vandy has one as well. Seems like it poses an injury threat to the players. 2. Man, we missed a lot of open shots. 3. Our defense completely took them out of their game. If we can play that D and find our offense, then this team will be tough to beat. 4. Big 10 refs suck. 5. I know many on here are critical of him, but Sissoko's growth has been fun to watch. 6. Thank goodness we have Walker. What a leader and calming presence for our team. Love his game.
