Fordham hit with sanctions for recruiting violations
- Thread starter Ryan Lemonds Hair
- Start date
"The improper benefits included a photo shoot at Times Square, jet ski rentals and tickets to New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and New York Giants games."
Thankfully the NCAA remains on top of this kind of thing and diligent in maintaining the sanctity of college athletics. Get'em NCAA!! Keep doing the Lord's work!

You can pay a kid a million dollars. But you can't rent him a jet ski. Or buy him a ticket to a ball game.
Sounds about right.
Sounds about right.
Meanwhile Zion's family got a million dollar home to live in when he went to Duke.
Apparently this was for things that happened in the 21 & 22 seasons which was pre NIL I guess. Who knows? It's the NCAA and they do what they want, when they want and to whom they want.
To be fair, forcing kids to watch the Giants seems like cruel and unusual punishment and probably should come with some penalties.
It really is incredible how the NCAA continues to find new ways to step on their own pecker.
Good God. There are multi-million dollar bidding wars going on right now and they’re handing out sanctions over what couldn’t be more than a few hundred bucks.
That’s just embarrassing.
That’s just embarrassing.
I today's Naples Daily News so I can't link it but FGCU was fined $25k and put on probation for "impermissible" benefits.
What a joke. I’d give them the number to their lawyers and tell them to kick rocks.
Filthy Fordham just running amok and making a mockery of amateur athletics!! Personally, I am disgusted.
Watched this video recently on Fordham’s super old basketball gym. Kinda shows how small time and humble the program is.

Not Fordham!!!!???? OMG I can't believe the NCAA finally caught them. They've been dirty for YEARS. This should teach all those other major......I mean bottom feeder programs to mind their P's and Q's. 
What's the goal with doing this? To remind people they (NCAA) hold a tiny bit of power still? The NCAA is a damn joke.
Fordham?!?
Sounds like KU, UNC or Duke must have broken some rules, then. The norm for the NCAA has been to hit some little school when their big favorites are under scrutiny.

Fordham is the new Cleveland State, they're screwed.
“The NCAA was so mad at Kentucky they gave Cleveland State two more years of probation."

I came immediately into this thread wondering who came up with this before I did..,.
I missed it by ..... THAT much ! (good job, dude!)
Fordham would have gotten away with it if it hadn’t been for NCAA and their Scooby Dooby dynamite infractions committee.
I had to check if this was an old thread somebody dug up. Recruiting violations are still a thing?
The violations were in 22 & 23 seasons and NIL officially started in 2021 but not to the same degree they are now. The sanctions were handed out last week.
NCAA at work. They need to justify somehow withhelding over 40% of the over billion March Madness tv rights revenue. They are doing an outstanding job for 400 million…I think any law or audit firm would want their business model…
There is such a thing as recruiting violations I thought we were in 2025.....
Fordham was only good for two things: good underage college bars and 2am White Castle runs. And Arthur Ave for little italy.
Otherwise youre dodging bullets in that part of the Bronx.

It's OK for North Carolina for over 2 decades to put their players in classes that a 5 year old kid could pass & for Duke years before NIL came along to put the families of 5-Star recruits in $million dollar homes. But how dare Fordham would do this.
So did Marvin Bagleys .Meanwhile Zion's family got a million dollar home to live in when he went to Duke.
This.
Strippers in UofL Dorms
Wire fraud and violence against women in KU
Twenty+ YEARS of academic fraud at one of our oldest and most rigorous public universities in UNC.
Jewel Bags and Mansions in Durham
But Fordham taking a picture in Times Square? Not that's a step too damn far. Way to RUIN CBB Fordham. Good ol' FU!
Emmert is retired. It's Charlie Baker now. Fmr two term Gov of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts- dude has his fingers in all kinds of politics.
