"Connecticut allegedly committed NCAA rules violations in its recruitment of former guard Nate Miles, Yahoo! Sports reported Wednesday.
The Web site reported that, according to multiple sources, Miles, a 6-foot-7 guard from Toledo, Ohio, was provided with lodging, transportation, restaurant meals and representation between 2006 and 2008 by Josh Nochimson, a former UConn student manager who had become a professional sports agent who once represented ex-Huskies star Richard Hamilton. Miles was expelled in fall 2008 and never played for UConn." ESPN
Part of me is happy this is happening to UConn because I hate them, but part of me hates this because I don't want to hear this to be an excuse when UConn chokes. This surprises me a bit if it is true because Jim Calhoun seemed like a pretty stand up guy, but I guess if you want to win and get the recruits you need, you have to break the rules a bit.
