This should have been a week for the celebration of Connecticut basketball… the men’s team is a top seed in the NCAA Tournament and rolled through the opening weekend of March Madness. The women’s team is undefeated, and in the Sweet Sixteen for the sixteenth straight year.
Instead, all eyes are on Storrs… for all the wrong reasons.
A report by Adrian Wojnarowski and Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! sports indicates that UConn violated NCAA rules in the recruiting of Nate Miles.
At the very least, it appears that Connecticut staffers made more phone calls to Miles than were allowed under NCAA recruiting guidelines… which is the same problem that initially got Kelvin Sampson in hot water at Oklahoma.
