Baylor may face sanctions over possible illegal recruiting

Scandal:

The men's and women's basketball programs at Baylor University are facing possible NCAA sanctions following an investigation that uncovered more than 1,200 impermissible phone calls and text messages during a 29-month span.

Men's coach Scott Drew, women's coach Kim Mulkey and their assistants, were involved in the impermissible phone calls and texts. ESPN.com obtained a copy of the summary disposition, which was produced by the NCAA enforcement committee and Baylor.......

The 66-page report documented a handful of secondary violations against a number of the school's programs, but it focused on the phone calls and texts. The NCAA enforcement staff labeled the improprieties as "major violations," mainly because of the frequency with which they occurred.

Combined, the men's and women's basketball programs sent 738 impermissible text messages and made 528 impermissible calls over a span of nearly two-and-a-half years.


What does this mean for the future of Coach Kim Mulkey's program?

Wow. I am afraid for women's basketball recruiting to be as dirty as the men's game

From the article:
"The NCAA's probe of Baylor began in October 2008, when women's basketball player of the year Griner, then a high school senior, and her father, Ray, reported information concerning their contacts with members of the women's basketball staff that were potentially impermissible"

The probe began in 2008 and in 2012 we get the results? Why, to save womens basketball and the school that BG attended?

You can add this probe to the NCAA selection and seeding committee as groups that are total BS , IMO
