If ASU is good they'll drag this out, bury some assistants, prtect Herm, and wait for the NCAA to vacate wins later.

If they suck they'll self-impose so penalty (like MIller at UofA) on a bad team and say they did their part.

They might get to a bowl-but they're not going to win the South. I think they're 3rd before SC and Utah.

It would seem logical: clip some assistants this year in the hopes that will buy you some goodwill while not impacting the on-field performance too much. Then clip the rest of the staff after the season in the hopes that will prevent the ban stick from hitting hard. Might work.

That's always been the most likely outcome once they made the decision to break these rules not once or twice, but multiple times with several recruits - ever since then, the above has been the inevitable conclusion.

Really kind of doubt it unless the season goes up in flames. The AD would have to go down with the ship too. They'll probably ride it out, especially after seeing the Baylor punishment.

If the team falls apart and they go 6-6 or 7-5, that's another story. This is probably the best ASU roster on paper since you guys joined the conference. It should be a 10-2 or better team. 9-3 would be a disappointment. They probably should have gone 4-0 or 3-1 last year. They were pounding USC for 56 minutes and choked it away in a miracle USC comeback. They came off a month without games with 4 total team practices (COVID) against UCLA and spotted them a 17-3 halftime lead, still were winning with a couple minutes to play anyway and took a really sketch penalty that stalled them out on the last drive. If Herm and AP mess this up, they'd probably be fired purely on performance.

Cool. You just described 75% of CU’s losses the last 5 years.

And what’s a wablty? Is that that like a wobbly H?

I don't have a feel either way but it seems like they are overrated. What have they done? Utah will be very rough on them. I wouldn't pick ASU that high. Show me.

I think because most sports writers don’t pay attention to the Pac-12, they just photocopy all of the old Phil Steele/Athlon/SI issues and republish every year.
 


In other news, later today ASU is expected to announce that Juston Wood and Bobby Wade will be announced as the permanent tight ends and wide receivers coaches respectively. They did replace two of the assistants who were put on leave Adam Breneman (tight ends) and Prentice Gill (wide receivers).

wilner just speculated that the ncaa could bring the hammer down on asu. not a top tier conference and not a program that matters. now do we have to root that they go easier on asu so it doesn't **** up our tv contract negotiations?
 
ASU gutting its coaching staff because someone's mom bought plane tickets for a few kids that didn't even go to ASU while SEC teams are making millionaires out of dozens of kids in the same class is pretty hilarious.

Did ASU fib? Yes. Are they paying for it? Sure looks like it. A&M just spent 30 million ****ing dollars on 17 and 18 year olds, whereas ASU lost 3 top recruiters (a long time ago, that was 6 months old but added back in for the headline), its OC and what at one point looked like the best recruiting class in program history over some plane tickets that didn't amount to anything. Is that really the witch hunt you all want to get behind?

And then we wonder why the Pac 12 always sucks. Hell, at least ASU was *trying*.
