I'm surprised no one at Bristol thought this might be a red flag back then.

Can we suspend ESPN from tournament play for the next three years?

No, but Cleveland State is going to get quite the penalty for this!

Poynter et al will have a field day with this.
As they should.

Geno doesn't seem to be much of a Pat Summitt fan.

Wonder when it gets through that arrogant skull of his that she's not the problem.

I don't know, I would hardly consider it a benefit to anyone for me to show them around my work.

The Sci-Fi network is going to PAY for this.

Oh my god. They ****ing hate each other...

Hey, if it makes Geno sweat just a little, it's a good thing.

Geno is smart for wanting to stay as far away from her as possible; She would stab him in the chest with her trident, then reach in and pull out his still-beating heart, and take a bite out if it.

On its face . . .is this really that big a deal?

Can UCLA or USC take a recruit to Disneyland?

I honestly don't have a full command of the recruiting rules; I'm really asking.

No. The only things schools can pay for on OFFICIAL recruiting trips are.

Transportation for the athletes and 2 parents/guardians. Meals. Tickets to a university sporting event for athlete and parents/guardians (so three tickets to one event.) Lodging for parents/guardians and athlete.

Siblings and other relatives are not paid for.

Well, Geno, Pat didn't appreciate Moore's free tour, but she was probably even more upset when you started discussing her personal life to recruits.

A great side story to this whole Pat-Geno thing that I've never seen written is that UT's president came from UConn, where he was the No. 2.

Is anyone seeing ESPN "reporting" this issue? WOW.

 

[markvid]

I first saw this on their ticker during Providence/WVU and then went to the web site, so I don't think they are hiding from it.

I can't speak for the Web report, but the TV report was essentially a Tennessee slam piece.

He said: "She should just say that [Geno is] a dope, a smart-ass and then everyone could say that they agree with her."

Okay, I agree with her. Satisfied?

On another note, is there a chance that Stuart Scott will lose his eligibility over this?

No joke. But if Geno really has tried to sling mud at Pat in recruiting over personal issues, I'd despise him, too.

Hmmm, take a tour of ESPN or take a tour of HGTV....
