Academic scandal 'not a basketball issue'

Four times in his summer news conference, he said it’s “not a basketball issue.”
“I'm concerned about it because going all the way back to the NCAA stuff, I've said the same thing consistently: It's a very sad time.

I'm in charge of the basketball program as much as the chancellor and the athletic director allow me to be. It's not a basketball issue, regardless of what comes out.
