What a complete disaster for the program. This might seal it for any success with Herms tenure.
Sounds like utter disaster. Thought Herm was an ethical dude. Talks a good game I guess.
With it being so apparently awful and explicit herms ignorance is itself a screaming indictment of herm as head of the snake.A lot of speculation by the media.
Some say it's possible Herm Edwards didn't know about it. ASU was very tough on COVID enforcement last season.
Possibly a rogue coach? Again it's all speculation.
It happened when the campus was shut down so it's possible recruits could have visited and it wouldn't have been obvious.
Man that’s a long listen for not a lot of substance. But those guys think ASU is going to blow up. Like everyone up to Anderson all losing their jobs. This sounds like textbook lack of institutional control. Bummed about this because I thought this season would be exciting. Instead I fully expect to see players streaming away from asu.If what this guy is mentioning is true, it is not good at all for ASU. Herm and the coaches won't be employed for much longer.

The report is damning. Apparently, Herm is directly implicated so he can't deny. Some staff may have recorded violations in logs in order to protect themselves if ASU got caught. Pierce reportedly forced staff to commit violations.
If ASU is found guilty, this should also be the end for Ray Anderson.
This is not exactly what I had in mind when I excitedly started this thread.
If ASU is guilty, they need to be sanctioned and punished, period. I say this as a lifetime ASU fan and alum who drinks maroon and gold koolaid.
Between this and Chris Paul, it's been a helluva week sportswise.
If he didn’t know he’s still guilty of allowing a program to go rogue. And given what so many are saying, he’s have to have been deaf and blind to have known none of it.You're innocent until proven guilty. If this is true and Herm Edwards was involved, it would definitely shock me. He has always said the right things and I would never guess he would cheat.
Yup. Guilty is guilty and ya pay the price. Such a bummer.This.
Let's not act like ua and their fans did about Sean Miller.
As an Arizona fan I can tell you to wait till the facts come out. When the media smells blood they can single handedly drive a narrative without evidence. That said it’s pretty ironic given how a lot of ASU fans and Phoenix media acted very high and righteous when Miller and Book got busted. Idk why any fan of a college program would throw stones given the entire amateur athletic institution is a glass house. However blatantly breaking protocol during a pandemic is probably worse than paying players given how SEC recruits gets shoe boxes full of cash routinely. I mean why else would highly rated guys from all around the country choose to live in Gainesville or Tuscaloosa for three years.
This year was tough following the UofA basketball team since I knew they were not going to play in the tournament. It is still tough since we do not know the final verdict. I am hoping there won't be a tournament ban since they banned themselves this year, but I have a feeling they might get one more year. I just want to know before the season starts. I guess that is what ASU fans will want with the football team.I so wish these NCAA investigations could be done behind the scene because it ruins the season for fans. It's probably not possible but once it is announced and the media gets a hold of it, the luster of the season is gone and guilt is assumed. And then the investigation seems to go on forever. It feels like the school would be better off pleading guilty on all counts so it can move on.

If true, I don't believe Herm will be the head coach for ASU much longer.
