The NCAA always had it in for TARK even suspending him for violation committed by a prior coach. Sure there was some stupid things at UNLV, but compared to violations that occur all the time, the treatment of Tark shows how corrupt the NCAA is. One doesn't have to look to far to see the blind eye the NCAA has turned on UNC's Black Studies program (and by extension, all Black Study programs) to see the NCAA will go after the have not schools but don't touch the big name schools.
A fun time to be a basketball fan.
However, his program was total garbage.
of his national championship squad; one converted to Islam; one was arrested for solicitation of a prostitute; and one refused to answer questions concerning sexual accusation while in the NBA.
His program was a "win at all costs" - "recruit from any ghetto possible" - "ignore all ethics" program. He was one of the ultimate dirtballs in college basketball history.
It should also be noted the NCAA paid Tark $2+ millions to settle a lawsuit.
The NCAA was not fair to Coach Tarkanian.
Any info other than NCAA allegations and dirtball news media?
He gave kids a chance and also made it possible for them to succeed by giving second chances.
Some did not succeed but did all athletes from other programs lead clean lives after leaving their programs?
I personally saw the local newspaper try to destroy the program with no proof ... just allegations.
