Tim Beckman (you're fired!)

Funny, I don't remember E!SPN making the "secondary violation" distinction a part of the headline when tOSU self reported. Cocksuckers.

A pinch of snuff being any type of violation is part of what is wrong with the NCAA.

Did Illinois just stop caring about athletics?

Their baseball team would say otherwise....

If only such things were investigated as vigorously as an allegation of a player receiving a free tattoo: http://cbsprt.co/1ErfcIa

Their men's tennis team did quite well this year; however, they were just ousted from the NCAA tourney by UNC Thursday.

Any truth to the rumor (that I'm starting now) that Illinois is gonna bring the zooker back?

Odd timing since it was news over the summer but I guess it has to do with their investigation's timing. Show's they are serious about this though to fire him right before the season

This is the kind of stuff that I think will eventually trip up The Harbaugh.

Or they were going to fire him anyway and the investigation gave them a nice excuse to do so in a way that 1) doesn't disrupt their season too much (assuming they name a somewhat competent interim coach) and gives them a ton of extra time to look for a replacement and 2) leaves them not owing him anything off his contract.

Another interesting thought, obviously the guy was an incredibly bad head coach, but he had a pretty stellar reputation as a DC who was even rumored to be a top target for the staff being put together by Meyer before he took the Illinois job IIRC.

Most people expect Ash to move on sooner rather than later... could Beckman be a possibility to replace Ash now?

Or will he be untouchable after this investigation?
