Can someone just please say what the guy did? It's ridiculous that this has gone on as long as it has.

He had to have impregnated someone’s daughter or something.... this has been covered up better than the ole miss violations (well, until Steve got involved, that is)

Speaking of Steve, what has been his take?

I had resigned to the fact that he wouldn't be back this year, but I was hoping he would be back next season. He and Carter would have made for a hell of a backcourt.

He’s stated that no one is speaking on this. If Steve doesn’t know, then no one knows.

It must've been a really serious violation.

It is if the person taking said test is a school tutor

If someone was stupid enough to take the damn test during.a game then he should be gone. Hoewever, if he had a hearing the school makes that shit official if he’s been removed from the university, ALA Fred Brown. The fact that an announcement hasn’t been made makes me think he had positive outcome.

He’s still going to school and practicing. Paul doesn’t think it’s a basketball related tweet and he will be back next year.

If someone took a test for him and he was complicit, then he should be escorted off campus and told to never return. I don't know what happened however.

It is though. If he did that (and there would be no question of his guilt if the timestamp matched up to a game he was playing in), he would have been expelled very quickly, and we wouldn't have had him practicing, sitting on the bench, or travelling with the team. The university (all universities really) are very strict about cheating.

So we know he did something pretty bad, but not bad enough to be expelled or kicked off the team. Something NCAA-related makes the most sense to me, and it could still be related to academics somehow, just not to blatant cheating.

ETA: I'm going to walk this back a little bit and say that it was just a routine homework assignment and not a test, maybe the punishment wouldn't be as harsh as expulsion, especially if the professor were sympathetic and/or a basketball fan. I still don't think it would drag out for weeks like this though.

He just could be venting... He lost someone close to him

I'm not saying he didn't get a verdict on his situation but it's spring break & school is out. Seems unlikely he'd get that info when the decision makers are on vacation but I guess it's possible.

I was told it was bad news. I doubt he will be back in school next year from what took place. It was pretty obvious and not very smart.

I've heard different but I guess we'll know sometime.

The university is still open.

I'm sure Steve knows and isn't saying. We know what happened. Lots of people on this board seem to know what happened.

I think most have come to the realization he's likely done for the year.

It very well could be he didn't get expelled but is suspended for the semester and coming back next year. Hopefully that is the case.

That would be new. Or maybe not new, but different from when I was in school. When I was in school, a first offense cheating would get you an F in class pretty much automatically, but not kicked out of school.

Largely depends on how the Professor wants to handle it.. If it gets sent to the Honor Council then it is anybody's guess how they are going to handle it. Just best not to cheat.

Was going to post this. These days most complaints about millenials (usually 1983-1997) are actually complaints about Generation Z (1998-2012).
