Cappie, it was not the NCAA that imposed the “sanction”– it was UH who got rid of Gib and Akana. We will need to await the NCAA’s actions. However, it has been rumored that the NCAA was expected to reduce scholarships– this may have come from our NCAA specialist attorney. Firing Gib may have prevented some of these tougher sanctions.

The NCAA, by their actions, will discourage other schools from self-reporting any possible transgression.

The spending to get rid of Gib will make Chow’s job more secure.
But this really is Chow’s peak year. Next year he loses senior leadership on both offense and defense and key players– especially on defense. We lose our most valuable player in Harding who is really irreplaceable.
It will be a rebuilding next year until 2016, when we hit another peak like this year (it should be a peak this year), but we will need to have a QB ready to go in 2016 assuming that we use Witeck next year.
More important, Chow must be open to changes in the offense in 2016 that will allow us to take advantage of Witeck’s ability as a QB (assuming he plays up to his reputation)– play this year’s offense, and we use half of what Witeck might be able to do.

#165. WD. Never said Gib did anything illegal. He had a way of working outside of the system to get funds. He was his own man in many regards. I have a feeling his firing had more to do with issues of a personal nature. Something along the lines of what someone would deem as insubordination, doing things you were asked not to do.

The party line on the NCAA investigation was no comment until they know what the allegations were. Jay, the Chancellor and their “advisors” were in the process to were making a list of possible self imposed penalties they could impose once they knew the severity of the charges. Gib for whatever reason broke the party line and issued a statement in defense of himself and his staff. That may have been the last straw as far as someone(s) was concerned.
