Yes it is. Kevin Bacon from the end of Animal House screaming, "Remain calm! ALL IS WELL!"

This speculation about what happened makes me very uneasy. Shouldn't we wait? It's not going to be good for Bond's reputation when we know specifics (one would think), but coming up with a list of things it *might* be? Seems patently unfair to the guy, no matter how you feel about him or his programs. Improper relationship with a player just being one example of this. The guy is married, for cripesakes. I agree. I posted I was relieved to see he was being investigated for an NCAA violation, rather than inappropriate relationship.Then volleyguy said an inappropriate relationship still may not be out of the question. When I read “NCAA violation”, I don’t think about inapprpropiate contact. I think recruiting, money, etc.

That possibility, in some form or another, isn't completely out of the question. Wait, so are you saying the NCAA has a rule about improper relationships with players? If so, someone could be fired for an NCAA violation and we would never know if was a “moral” violation. Interesting. If we parse the words of the AD, it was one former athlete who brought forward the complaint, and the investigation concluded that the evidence suggested it was limited to that one individual. Since it doesn't appear to be wide-spread recruiting practices that are being uncovered, it seems entirely possible or plausible to me that the existence of a personal relationship (which may or may not have been legally inappropriate, or sexual in nature) was a factor in the decision to come forward now.

I actually guess that this will end up being an academic fraud issue affecting a particular student who was having trouble of some sort, although maybe it seems strange that an ex SA would have reported it. I note that he was to receive 5k in bonuses if the team got a GPA over 3.2, so maybe that explains the administrations ire over this. I actually didn't realize there were bonuses for academic performance built into contracts like that.
Sounds like he will get a chance to reply "informally", whatever that means.

Maybe there was a student whose parents paid to get their daughter into Iowa by pretending that she played volleyball.
Nah, that would be crazy.

He has an opportunity to rebut the allegations informally during the 30 day notice period (that is, before any sanction is implemented.) He has a right to challenge a termination formally in arbitration. Bonuses based on team g.p.a are quite common.

Looking at their roster, there are 3 seniors from this past season. A lot of times, athletes wait until they’re on their way out to burn the house down. Maybe it’s one of them? If it’s tied to recruiting, Louis transferred from Marquette a year after Bond went from MU to Iowa. Intuition leads me that direction, but all anyone can do at this point is speculate.

Did they specify it was an Iowa student-athlete?

Did they specify it was an Iowa student-athlete? “Barta won’t say what Shymansky is alleged to have done, only that a former student-athlete told officials May 1 the coach had broken NCAA rules.” I would assume that’s an Iowa athlete?

Two German recruits. International recruiting can be tricky.
