Well, that's what you get for taking Boeheim's cast-offs. Seriously, if you get kicked out of Syracuse...
Maybin never attended Syracuse. He was denied admission by the school.--Admin

That was always our line for Randy Moss about FSU. He was denied admission to FSU of all places. That's friggin hard to do. And I think the "only" blotches on his resume' were assault and marijuana possession.
As for Maybin, does anyone else think that being denied bond is a bit strange? It would seem to me that there must be more to it than this story lets on. You wouldn't think that a prominent basketball player was much of a flight risk.

Was this the kid who was shuttout of the America East POY voting by the rest of the coaches or was that someone else on the Bearcats?
Where did that Binghampton/Georgetown fan poster go? I'd be interesting in hearing if the university community still has Broadus's back because the rest of the league is going to ostracize him.

Randy Moss wasn't denied admission at FSU edited --he was on the team/practicing and was told when taken in--if you mess up--you are gone--and he failed a drug test--and was kicked out of the program.

I don't defend this at all, but I guess that this kind of story also covers up a double-standard. There has been at least 1 recent high major player with drug dealing issues. He was at a pseudo-sacred cow of the NCAA, and there were a few veiled stories. That was that. The story followed the player in the basketball community but not much further.
There may be a place for him at The Rock in Newark.

At this point, I (and everyone I have talked to) am fed up. I think Broadus has to go and so does our AD. We fans defended them for two years of bad behavior by the basketball team, and this one really takes the cake.
Imagine how you would feel if your star guard were arrested for dealing crack.

I would feel like a Syracuse fan, and that thought alone makes me want to go all Oedipus on my eyes.

Not that it matters one bit, as far as the substance (no pun intended) of the issue, but did he ever attend a class? From what I remember, he didn't. Once again you jump at any opportunity to create a firestorm, when there isn't a need for one. I could be wrong, and if so, will gladly admit it. "Denied" admission, or granted admission but having such admission revoked prior to going to class ... does it really matter? My guess is that they substituted decaf for you by mistake. |

You can't practice with the team if you are denied admission by the school. Is it that hard to comprehend edited? DELETED and do some research. Moss was denied admission to NOTRE DAME--where he signed his LOI---Holtz recommended him to Bowden--and the circumstances were he had to sit out a year and Redshirt and couldn't violate any of the rules the university set for him--and he failed a drug test--due to smoking dope--which you EMBRACE Hifi--so might want to hold back the shots at FSU as they seem to have taken high road and let a once in a lifetime player go despite fact he didn't do anything wrong according to you and others who don't think weed is a big deal. |

We fans defended them for two years of bad behavior by the basketball team, and this one really takes the cake. Imagine how you would feel if your star guard were arrested for dealing crack. I tend to agree with this. Broadus should think long and hard about whether he should dig in his heels and try to keep his job or else do the right thing and leave the program with some dignity intact. |

Yes, I think it should be legal. However, when you are being given special treatment -- scholarship, training, room and board etc... -- then you have to abide by stricter rules. -- I'm not demonizing the guy at all. In fact, I thought I made that clear. For all the shenanigans that FSU seems to overlook, they sure took a proactive approach with Moss. He was no saint, but at least from my perspective, his skeletons were relatively minor. I thought I made that clear as well. -- That was my initial point, made in response to someone's comment that Maybin was kicked out of Syracuse. The obvious point there was that he was such a rotten apple that he even got kicked out of Syracuse. -- Lastly, "denied admission" or "accepted but then dismissed" before classes even started just simply isn't that big of a deal to me and doesn't change the point of the message one iota -- You're still somewhat bitter for no apparent reason. Maybe you should seek a prescription for xanax (sp?) |

As a follow-up to the original point of this thread, Broadus today dismissed five more players ( link). Pete Thamel gleefully notes that Binghamton is down to one scholarship guard now. From the article, it appears that Broadus will keep his job for now. It should also be noted that the current chancellor of the SUNY system is Nancy Zimpher, who happened to be president of U. of Cincinnati in 2005 when Huggins was forced out. Oh, and David Fine - one of the 5 dismissed today - is the son of SU asst. coach Bernie Fine (courtesty of TNIAAM). |

Broadus does appear to be in some trouble here, but perhaps it comes with the territory when you recruit unseemly scraps like Theo Davis and Mayben. There is obviously more to the story here when you dismiss five players from a state university or its scholarship programs. At least there's a home for David Fine at SU, where he can help Scoop Jardine to lift sandwiches and juice boxes from on-campus dining halls.
I will reiterate, however, that this kind of thing does happen or has happened without penalty at some of the sacred cows.
