The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Well, this might be the day. Here’s the morning’s email from WVU’s sports information department:

MEDIA ADVISORY:
 
WVU Director of Athletics Oliver Luck will make a statement on the NCAA football inquiry at 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5, (today) outside his office at the WVU Coliseum (second floor). Because the NCAA process is ongoing, he cannot take questions.  Go to MSNsportsNET.com for the full statement and related information following his comments.

Two Three immediate reactions.

1) WVU doesn’t need to do a press conference and, really, what purpose will a prepared statement and no questions serve? Still, Luck will be out there at least visually conveying accountability. He’s wired differently — he’s stays ahead of things and good for him and for WVU.

2) If he can’t say anything because of NCAA rules, then why comment at all? Is it because this NCAA update will alter football practice, which starts Saturday? Possibly. 

3) Being re-directed to the Web site for “related information” seems like being re-directed to the Web site for documentation to and/or from the NCAA. That’s going to fill in all the blanks with the things Luck can’t say.

Should be interesting on various levels. Let’s talk later, yes?
