You guys are awesome. I think the website will be good, but right now PHP is kicking my posterior.
Attention Webheads - Website for Lucca
- Thread starter tejasclone
- Start date
This thread had some good comparisons of other NCAA suspensions that made Lucca's look really inane.

Dan Patrick has been replaced. Keith Olberman is still around. How about Chris Berman. They could so a special show on European athletesw as it would be timely.

Great job everyone! I'm not very computer literate, but I'll help any way that I can. One thing I would suggest is to place a prominent and strongly worded suggestion that people who decide to email, write and call do so in a respectful manner. A few anonymous jerks could set back the whole thing.

Here's some research from a previous thread. If this could be expanded on with citations included I think it could be very supportive of our point. (Read: Please help with this) Thanks to isucyfan for digging the link back up.

Report releases details in IU recruiting scandal
Oct. 31, 2007
CBSSports.com wire reports
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica].[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana basketball coaches attended regular compliance meetings. They logged recruiting phone calls each week. They signed forms monthly attesting they didn't call recruits from home phones and received regular compliance memos and newsletters reminding them of NCAA rules. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Advertisement Yet the university said coaches still made more than 100 calls in violation of NCAA rules or sanctions imposed on the program because of previous impermissible calls. When the calls were discovered, coaches told school officials they were confused about the rules, forgot to record calls, or thought reports were formalities. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]"Indiana University is troubled by this disregard for university policies and procedures," the school wrote in a report to the NCAA's infractions committee. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]On Tuesday, the Associated Press obtained the 300-page report, prepared by Indianapolis-based law firm Ice Miller, through a Freedom of Information Act request. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The recruiting scandal has already cost the Hoosiers one basketball scholarship for 2008-09, coach Kelvin Sampson forfeited a $500,000 pay raise and assistant coach Rob Senderoff -- who made a majority of the impermissible calls -- resigned Tuesday. The university said he received a severance package worth $46,000. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Athletic director Rick Greenspan addressed the report during a teleconference Tuesday, saying the school sanctions more than compensate for the extra phone calls. An IU spokesman said Wednesday that Greenspan would make no further comments on it. [/FONT]

Kelvin Sampson and crew say they were confused about the rules. (Getty Images) The NCAA is investigating the new violations outlined in the report, which could lead to further penalties, and there is no timetable for a decision.
The problems with recruiting calls started before Sampson began at IU in March 2006. He was prohibited from initiating calls with recruits for a year after the NCAA ruled in May 2006 that he had made 577 impermissible calls over four years while coaching Oklahoma -- sanctions that followed him to Bloomington. He was still allowed to receive calls from recruits.
His off-campus recruiting visits also were strictly limited, although he could talk to recruits on-campus.
On Oct. 14, just weeks before his second season, Greenspan announced that Sampson's staff had violated the NCAA's sanctions by patching through at least 10 three-way calls, legal under the NCAA's standards but prohibited under his previous penalties.
The university's report, which doesn't accuse Sampson of any direct NCAA violations, details 111 impermissible recruiting calls, most of them by Senderoff. At least 10 of them were three-way calls that Sampson had been patched into -- four at his home.
One call came less than a week after the NCAA issued its May 25, 2006, report on the sanctions against Sampson and his staff, a document in the report showed.
Sampson has said he wasn't aware that nine of the 10 calls were three-way connections. The one he knew about was done to clear up questions from a recruit who had already committed to making an on-campus visit, he said.

The Associated Press News Service
Some of the three-way calls occurred because a recruit's call to Sampson was dropped, the report said. Senderoff would then help the person reconnect with Sampson by using impermissible three-way calls. The report noted that Sampson's home is several miles outside Bloomington and that his cell phone reception there is "spotty at best."

However, included in the report was an e-mailed memo dated June 13, 2006, to Sampson, Senderoff and other coaches from Jennifer Brinegar, IU assistant athletics director for compliance.
In it, she included a clarification of the infractions committee on the penalties. The fourth item listed stated, "The assistant coaches may not bring Coach Sampson in on a 3-way call with a prospect, parent or coach, even if the call originated from the prospect, parent or coach."
It also states that Sampson isn't allowed to return dropped calls.
Yet less than a week after that memo was issued, Sampson participated in another three-way call, the report showed.
Senderoff told investigators he would get the recruit or other person on the phone, then patch in Sampson's phone. Senderoff would remain on the line, but did not say anything, serving as an "operator" allowing two people to have a conversation, he said. Senderoff said he thought this was a "gray" area in regard to sanctions and that he used poor judgment in not asking for clarification.
But the report notes that at least two people -- a recruit and the mother of a recruit -- said both Senderoff and Sampson were involved in the conversation throughout the entire call.
The report also said Senderoff, who made 101 improper calls, failed to report using his home phone for recruiting calls despite signing forms that said he made no calls from his home.
"He admitted that this practice was sloppy and/or careless," the report states.
Assistant coach Jeff Meyer made 10 recruiting calls from his home, four of which were impermissible, the report found. Meyer said he didn't list his home phone on the monthly reporting forms because he did not yet have a home phone immediately after he was hired. He didn't change the forms later to indicate that he used his home phone.
"Meyer stated he thought the forms were only a formality and thus did not change what he previously reported," the report states.
The report pointed out that the men's basketball coaching staff is involved in more than a thousand recruiting calls a month.
"The University is disappointed and does not condone the actions of the involved coaches, but it is important to place this issue in context," the report states.

I see that the site is up and has some content! It should be linked in my signature. It's still rough, but its coming along. Good job cardinal&gold!
If you have the time let us know what else we can do to help. I'm not sure what the intricacies are behind getting information from an outside source onto the site. Can you just copy and paste so that we should work on trying to format stuff in a pretty fashion?

Awesome work, guys!
Just a few very humble suggestions...
1.) A more direct link to the video interview could be:
h t t p ://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=46661&SPID=4252&DB_OEM_ID=10700&ATCLID=1291779
*needed the h t t p to prevent this site from forcing it into a link - i wanted to post the actual link*
2.) Clean up/shorten the text in the second link to external content (Staiger Ineligible According...). Could look a little nicer.
3.) Need a new favicon.ico
Free Lucca!!

Here is the link to the petition. I didn't notice it on the site yet.
Reinstate Lucca Staiger Petition
I'm also trying to compile some quotes from media personalities regarding the situation. These are the only two I can find at the moment. I know there was one on in the Doug Gottlieb chat, but I can't get to it anymore because it is insider stuff. I know Jon Miller had some good ones when he was ranting about it on the radio too, but I don't want to quote him because I can't remember exactly what he said.
What others have said about Lucca’s situation:
“Here's hoping the NCAA shows some common sense and allows Staiger, Boeke and others in their situation to get on the court this season.”
-Fran Fraschilla of ESPN ESPN.com - Blogs - NCB EXPERTS
“Meanwhile, Staiger, apparently an unknowing and unwilling accomplice to a crime he had no intention of committing, remains in limbo. When it comes to college sports, hypocrisy is a four-letter word. One that starts with the letter ‘N.’”
-Sean Keeler of the Des Moines Register

[Edit: These McDermott quotes from the Register article are also good.]
"The thing we're disappointed in is here's a kid who did everything right," McDermott said.
"His dream was to come to the U.S. He had 30 clubs to choose from where he could have played. And he chose this one because he wouldn't jeopardize his eligibility to play in the U.S."
-Iowa State Coach Greg McDermott, as quoted by the Des Moines Register.

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, at this time I don't know how to make a favicon.ico. I will look into it, however. This site could still be a lot better...I'm an intermediate at best.
Link to a great site that creates favicon.ico files from any image (no software):
FavIcon from Pics -- how to create a favicon.ico for your website
Just take a good image (ISU logo?), upload it to this site, download the .zip file, extract the favicon.ico file, and place it in the top-level directory of your Document Root.
I have tested it, and it works great.
Keep up the good work!
