How does this happen? Larry Brown is suspended by the NCAA. The basketball program is caught red handedly cheating. SMU is prohibited from playing in the post tournament. Larry Brown has cheated at every college wherever he has been. He is a sleezy distrustable character. Why would any kid go there? What are his parents thinking? On the opposite side, we've got this highly touted Archie Miller at the University of Dayton and we can't compete on recruiting three and four star BIG recruits? It seems very disjointed to me! Please allow me to vent. Am I the only one seeing this?

SMU has stepped up to the plate re facilities, and Larry Brown has endless connections in the NBA to tout to recruits. Then there is his own mystique, sans penalties. You may be disturbed by it, but it isn't that hard to understand.
