No. I used to belong to the Iowa Scout.com message board but the admins left and it turned into a ghost town.

I was banned on HI by Rob and now that he is gone from there they have tried to get me to come back but I'm Irish so I am now on HR. Was on and still occasionally post on VOTH but the Nanny factor destroyed the VOTHOT and most everyone I like there left.
Obviously that's not an issue on here. All kinds of interesting stuff going on. I do find that the information supplied by many posters does help me understand Iowa football, basketball and wrestling better. Some very astute people. I had a subscription to "Voice of the Hawkeyes" magazine clear back when Larry Lawrence was there. I remember an article about Ravelings recruiting and the fact that he had actually got Romeal Robinson and J. R. Reid to come and visit Iowa. Pretty cool stuff then.
Here is an interesting take on the academic scandal. UNVERIFIED.

I'd think twice about listening to a guy that helped run the fraud at UNC as an academic adviser. Who was fired when the scandal fall out took place. But you go right ahead.
No he doesn't, the king of the one and done crowd. I seriously doubt that the number of major college sport programs out there can make a claim to be and to always have been, squeaky clean in their recruiting. My opinion is purely based on anecdotal evidence, but if you want a look at how long problems like this have been around, just read Connie Hawkins "Foul".
Interesting name for the upcoming 30 for 30 on Calipari coming up. It's called One and Not Done.

What I find interesting is the justification angle pointing others do it. This is the poorest excuse possible. How about just claiming we got caught and are working to clean it up and abide by the rules. While it may appear that taking down a blue blood is bad for colegiate athletics, that is exactly what needs to be done to UNC. Ban them from postseason play for 4 years and cut their scholarships in half. Roy would retire and new leadership would take over.
We're talking about classes. We're sitting here and we're talkin about classes. I mean, listen we're talkin about classes, not a game, not a game, we're talkin about classes. I know I supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And I'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I do. I honestly do... But we're talking about classes man. What are we talking about? Classes?
Yes actually. There was a reason the Final Four didn't show up again at Madison Square Garden for decades..........
Unfortunately, I think it has close to zero impact. Of course there are exceptions, but for the most the kids who are good enough to get scholarship offers from blue blood programs assume that they are headed to big pay days and long careers in the NBA. I doubt they ever consider fall back options.
