How’s your Tuesday? Good? That’s nice to hear.

Say, did you know Richard H. “Scooter” Berry was arrested? Oh, and remember that Mountaineer Madness thing when the WVU students were really creative with ways to impress Adreian Payne? Turns out a few NCAA rules might have been broken along the way.

“It’s currently under review,” said Patrick Hairston, WVU’s Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance. “There are no violations that we are aware of at this point in time.”

WVU contacted the Big East’s compliance office Monday to ask for assistance.

“We will work with the institution and take a look at the full set of facts and make a determination whether any violations occurred,” Big East assistant commissioner for compliance Jennifer Condaras said.

For starters, according to the police report, Berry was in a foul mood exiting a club and acting beligerent. An officer apparently warned him to keep it down and to keep moving to which Berry reportedly said, “Arrest me. I’ll be out in an hour.” So the officer did and some of Berry’s boys got involved and things got a little heated.

Bill Stewart will address this in his 1 p.m. press conference today.

As for the violations, the rules, as stated before, are really expansive and these are only secondary violations, which don’t cost games or scholarships or significant stuff. Still, it’s a serious matter and will be handled as one.

WVU and the Big East will take time to investigate the issue and be as thorough as possible. If — that’s the word to remember here — there are transgressions to be found, it’s up to WVU to determine its own complicity … which is why a lot of schools self-report even the most minor of misdeeds.

The big issue is a school’s level of involvement and Huggins is more or less dead-on when he said his guys weren’t involved. Based on what I saw, that’s true. Whether that satisfies the inquiry, I’m not sure.  

My assumption is this: The way the crowd celebrated Payne’s presence isn’t troubling — his visit was in the papers and on the Internet, so on and so forth — and it can’t be viewed as if Huggins himself organized the signs and T-shirts and chants.

The interpretation of the signs and cheers from students as well as the Payne-themed T-shirts will probably be the deciding factor. As I understand things, the signs and cheers are … I guess forgiveable is the right word … but the T-shirts and how and by whom they were provided will get some attention.

WVU will probably self-report and that news shouldn’t be any indication of guilt. Schools tend to self-report these things, either just in case or to show institutional control and oversight. Even if WVU doesn’t self-report, the NCAA can still investigate and punish on its own. Better for WVU to act accountable in the matter, even if it believes it did nothing wrong.

So, in short, the story is yet to be written.
