Re: JUCO and the Zimph

The President never has had a ban on junior college athletes or junior college students more generally.  Indeed, one of her accomplishments at Wisconsin-Milwaukee was to make it the state's premier transfer destination.  That focus continues at UC, with expanded relationships - particularly with Cincinnati State and Sinclair - and the creation of transfer scholarships.

JUCO's have been recruited in football and other sports since she came here, so it would be a surprise for her to institute a ban that applies only to men's basketball.

There are good reasons to criticize President Zimpher for her handling of the Huggins affair, but a ban on recruiting JUCO's is a myth created by people who wanted to attack her for other reasons.
