NCAA to notify Frank Haith of allegations

Bad week for MIZ-ZOU!!! This, and they were pummeled by Florida over the weekend!!!
 
It will be interesting to know what Sawyer has to say about this? I think most of us knew that it would be almost impossible for Haith to come away from Miami unscathed.

What are you hearing, Sawyer?

It's funny. This was a huge concern around here at the time of the hire. MU repeatedly assured everyone that they had looked into it and everything was fine. I'm thinking not so much.

Yeah, if the ESPN is accurate, MSU may not have any choice but to cut Haith loose and let him go his not-so-merry way. The U has a genuine mess on their hands, and the NCAA seems to think that their former coach was at the very least negligent in his duties.
 
I actually haven't paid much attention to this. I'm just reading about it for the first time now. Been a little busy for the past week.

That said, it's obviously not looking good. If what's being said turns out to be true, I see no way he continues as MU's coach. But I'm not ready to believe the early leaks. I'll wait until it's official.

When we hired Haith, we checked him out with the NCAA, but at that time they hadn't begun any official investigation so had nothing to tell us. Kinda sucks for us. Bad timing, I guess.

I don't know if a worst-case scenario involves cutting ties immediately or if it would be an off-season change. Neither situation would be good, but I do think MU is in better position to hire a good coach now than we were when Anderson left.

Way too much smoke around him to warrant a hire IMO.
 
From everything around here it appears that it will most likely be some sort of show cause. Not sure what the NCAA has but it seems to revolve around the 10K payment and some trips. Haith/MU will have 90 days to respond and then the NCAA has six months. You'd think MU needs to decide by April on what to do. Appaently it's in Haith's contract that MU wouldn't owe him any money.

Makes you wonder what will happen to Alden. Ever since "firing" Norm and hiring Synder over Self the bball program has been a disaster. Will MU allow him to hire yet another coach?

There wasn't any NCAA smoke at the time. That broke shortly after.

There was plenty of "this guy isn't a very good coach" smoke, though.

As for Alden, I've read that he preferred Self but was overruled by Bill Laurie (married into the Walton fortune, made the primary donation that helped get Mizzou Arena built). The transition from Quin to Anderson was messy, but it ended up working out pretty well for the five years he was here. And despite the Painter thing and the highly unpopular Haith hire, Haith did deliver in his first season. I don't know if he's going to have another shot to hire a coach at MU if this blows up, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
 
1- Announce SEC departure
2- With Big 12 tourney while chanting S-E-C (stupid Baylor)
3- Lose in opening round of tournament as 2-seed.
4- SUCK LIKE A VACUUM in football
5- NCAA allegations against coach during otherwise great bball season.

Only Mizzou can be filled with so much fail

Didn't his wife make the donation?

Well you know Laurie isn't taking any heat. After the Synder hire you had...

Ricky Clemons
The whole deal with what's her name writing checks out at USC while they were going to try to get their name on the arena.
The jailhouse tapes.
While Anderson was there he almost yearly was looking elsewhere and would have no problem holding MU hostage for more money.
Not just Painter but how many others didn't take the job? Haith seemed like a desperation hire. And although they had success last year the first round bouncing didn't sit well around here.

The Shapiro stuff broke in August.

Do you honestly think anyone (even MU) would be dumb enough to hire a coach with a career sub-.500 conference record AND public accusations of five-figure payments to recruits?

U would expect nothing less from mu
 
NCAA investigates itself for lack of institutional control.

Haith might get off after all.
 
Lead investigator on the Haith portion of the Miami investigation was a kansas alum. And she was recently fired for misconduct.

She also was the lead investigator on Josh Selby. I'm sure she was impartial, though.

What a wonderful soap opera this has all become.
