ASU Baseball accused of major NCAA violations

I think we know why Pat Murphy was fired. As a former Sun Devils, most of the stuff they allege is not shocking at all -- I saw some of this go on when I worked for the football team.

Long time reader here..

and not much of a commenter on this site. Anyways, this caught my interest, since I’m a former Sun Devil myself. It’s disappointing that there are allegations to begin with. However, you can understand that ASU has to do whatever it can to retain it’s high school recruits. The high schoolers they recruit usually end up getting drafted and skipping college. The key word here is allegations, and they are from a disgruntled ex-employee(Mikel Moreno) just after he was fired. He used the excuse that ASU confronted him about the possible infractions, however it was actually his mother, Roberta Cole, who was aggravated with her sons firing and accused ASU of cheating.

Well I'm not going to go into specifics

But while working the athletic department, I heard of alot of these types of things going on. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire most likely.

This is true

and I’m actually really excited for Tim Esmay to coach. He’s an ex-Sun Devil and should be a great teacher and mentor for the players. He will also be able to keep the pipeline going from Brophy Prep to ASU since he used to coach at Brophy. I can’t wait for Feb to come around! Pac-10 Champs baby!
