Much more than the ethical implications for Amaker, it is fascinating to see Harvard really making a push to improve in hoops. When you also see Cornell finally wresting the Ivy crown away from Penn and Princeton, is it far-fetched to think the Ancient 8 may be ready to commit to basketball much more seriously in the near future? They have to see that a successful basketball program has not hurt the academic reputation of places like Duke, Stanford, and Georgetown, and has probably even helped raise the profile of those places.
Back before JT3, I knew a member of the GU administration who hypothesized about where Georgetown might end up if the Big East coalition fell apart. He believed that moving football to the Patriot League, with its own academic index and several games against the Ivies on the schedule, allowed for a possibility that GU could be an attractive candidate for Ivy expansion- with DC a popular destination for alumni and Georgetown adding credibility to a burgeoning basketball conference. I thought it was crazy talk then and it seems even more far-fetched now from Georgetown's end, but perhaps the conditions are a bit better from the Ivy perspective now. Whatever the case may be, Sydney has his work cut out for him restoring Princeton.

They just talked about on Sports Scene. With Cornell sewing up the Ivy League bid, Harvard is just sick and tired of watching the Princetons, then the Penns and now Cornells of the world dancing in March.

Anytime that Harvard has a top 25 recruiting class, something is fishy.
The one that got me was just bumping into a recruit during the dead (no contact) period at a grocery store nowhere near where he lived. A lot of people drive to another town to go grocery shopping. yeah right ...

Amaker: Three time loser and cheater
Snyder: Cheater
Henderson: Loser
Brey: Underachiever
Hypocritzki should be very proud.

Amaker may have found his niche.
Usually he recruits well and coaches awfully, resulting in NIT trips and disappointments. But if he recruits this well in the Ivies, can he screw it up? You do have to win the Ivies to make the tourney, but I can see Harvard happy to compete.
I hope Sydney can get Princeton turned around again. Broadus seemed to have a pretty good year at Binghamton that may be falling a bit short.

Um, Feinstein what did you do here exactly? Read Thamel's article and then regurgitate it? I understood it the first time; I can read just as well as you can. I'm not sure I would call that journalism...closer to derivitive drivel than plagiarism I guess, but just cause you cite your source (another news article) repeatedly, in almost every sentence, doesn't mean that the thoughts are yours, original, or publishable.

Yeah, but in this case, I will let him slide. I have read his original material in the past and it isn't very useful. In his case plagiarism is the lesser of two evils. |
