Comming from someone that was one of the most affected (St John's in smith) I am dissapointed they can come back so easily. Doogan and Cimmy both had teams in Philadelphia, approx 100 miles from Jamaica ny. I never once saw them go all in on a recruit against each other. I was constantly altering who I would go after based on them having such high prestige schools. When I did go all in against them I lost. There is obviously no way to prove collusion unless they own up to it, but in my opinion it was there.
I loved coaching at st johns, but eventually switched schools because there were to many a or a+ schools in the area. I'm pretty sure we have lost a couple really good coaches from the big east because of it. (Mully @ georgetown and kimball at uconn come to mind) the joke of our conference is we are the worst power conference in hoops dynasty. Now we know the reason
I don't think they should be allowed back because they have been deemed good guys. They cheated and affected many other paying customers.
What about all the credits they have received over the last 3 years that were taken from other paying customers. If they want to come back so bad, let them pay that back.
I belive they are going to lose more than 4 loyal customers because of this decision. I am certainly on the fence with whether i am going to continue after this season now.
Very frustrated by this.
i get your frustration but i would ask, if you have any long time teams... how painful would losing one of them forgetting to renew or something, be? these guys lost ALL their teams. we can all quibble over what was appropriate, but i think objectively, this is a pretty darn big punishment, right? and even a 'perma ban', its almost impossible to stop the same folks from making fresh accounts, if they really wanted to (which basically puts them to where they'd be today - minus the stigma).
i guess i hope we can all recognize that there's a reasonable range of perspectives here, and not get too upset if the final decision falls a bit off from what we'd have done. this is not exactly the route i'd have gone, either - probably? i'm honestly not sure what i would have done. but i think this falls in the range of reasonable and with how hard it is for CS to get these kinds of issues right, i think its only fair to call it a win as long as they do a pretty decent job, or better.
