Remember ASU Baseball in 2007? Well, we now won 5 games that year.

ASU has imposed sanctions on themselves for a host of recruiting violations that occurred under former head coach. These include:

Vacating 44 of 49 wins in 2007
Vacating postseason honors in 2007
Prohibiting recruiting phone calls in July of 2010 and 2011
Reduce the number of permitted prospect visits from 25 to 9
Reduce the number of scholarships by 2 by 2011
Collect annual audits of all phone calls

Wow, these are some harsh self imposed sanctions by Lisa Love.

"Arizona State University remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in its athletics programs," Arizona State athletic director Lisa Love said in a statement. "ASU baseball, in particular, based on a remarkable, competitive heritage has the unique potential to be exemplary on and off the field.

Neat, Lisa -- but how about we also commit to maintaining the highest standards of winning too? Frankly, I know we are not the only school who did this sort of thing, Murphy is gone, and this is going to hamstring whoever our next head coach is for the next two years.

Ugh. Basketball players leaving, football recruiters leaving, this...

Some good news next? Plz?

You're right

It’s not as if I posted a story about the baseball team starting off strong and talking about how I like the new manager directly below this story. Oh, wait – I did. Haha, relax Red Reign.

Nice

If that ends up coming to fruition we will have to grab a beer and watch the Sun Devils at some point.

How is Willamette and Salem?

For sure

Willamette is pretty good, albeit very regional to the NW. Great rep up here but the degree doesn’t carry all that far outside of OR and WA, hence me wanting to get out.

Salem is a hole, but its only 45min to Portland. It’s like Bakersfield without the culture.
