His contract is up in 6-30-29 , so he’s got a bit of time left before his contract is up. The school will take the 30k hit and move on. Most NCAA violations are bull$hit anyways
Ben Thomas is currently under probation due to recruiting violations. Did anyone else know about this? The comedy of this when his rival coach (Lahanna) is constantly bombarded with tampering claims is quite funny, I must admit.

Vin Lananna is terrible for the sport. In his mid 70’s it’s time to go. The man was fired from Stanford and fired from Oregon both distressful things and he somehow blames his recruiting issues now on other coaches like Ben Thomas. The day this man finally retires the sport will be on a better more honest place.

Lananna has been complaining about Thomas since he’s been back at VT. Lananna has a habit of the blame game. He’s the sport’s biggest Karen.

well Lananna does definitely tamper with athletes but it does seem funny that brosnan has many pages of threads hating on him for his tampering but nobody cares when established coaches do it
Brosnan’s success with NP had certain parties frightened he may do the same at the next level. Never mind the *hitbirds who went after him for his political leanings and used “recruting violations” as cover.
Lananna can’t stand he’s not relevant anymore. It’s all good as he had his time in the sport and along the way of his career with success, but during that he did some really bad things and continues to be the king of Karen’s ( as stated either) in the sport of Track & Field. When Thomas came back Lananna and staff went full rouge on VT to get an investigation on him.

Lananna’s biggest problem isn’t one decision, it’s the echo chamber he’s built at UVA. Same mindset, same behavior, no accountability from him and his assistants. That’s how programs go toxic. When even people around him can’t stand it, that’s not coincidence, that’s toxic culture. Maybe focus on fixing that instead of going after others. When he first got to UVA it all started with him and his toxic assistant Nicole Blood. He goes after Thomas and others when he can’t win.

These posts are insane. There is no evidence that Lananna filed a complaint. In fact, the report says that VT self-reported the violation.
Objectively UVA is doing amazing under Vin. There are no issues there.

let’s not forget, people directly involved in NCAA cases have access to the actual records and submissions. That’s where the real story is and Lananna has done this before.
The inconsistency is what people should be talking about. Ben Thomas gets a Level II for tampering, the school pays a big fine, and everyone moves on like it’s nothing. No outrage, no deep dive threads, no moral grandstanding. Meanwhile, other situations with way less clear evidence get dragged for months. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’d honestly be curious to see the full scope of what’s available in some of these cases. What gets released publicly always feels one-sided. We hear plenty within the coaching community, but the NCAA only puts out selective information, so you never get the full context. That’s why there’s so much confusion—and why some decisions don’t seem to line up.

This one seems pretty straightforward, Ben violated the rules. But it’s still lame if it only became an issue because someone pushed it. Why do any coaches give a sh!t to complain. Something is wrong with them

How else would these rules get monitored and enforced if not for others reporting them? I suppose schools sometimes self-report violations, but if a competitor knew if a violation I kind of don't blame them for reporting it. It directly affects the competitiveness of the teams. It's not like they're ratting them out for some kind of clerical error.

That’s the problem, when enforcement depends on competitors reporting each other, it stops being about fairness and starts being about who decides to complain. If everyone’s operating in the same gray areas (which they are), then only a few cases ever get pushed. That’s not clean enforcement, that’s selective enforcement

Hence why Vin got fired at Stanford and Oregon. He’s bitter about it and goes after everyone he can.

Obviously Akron reported this because their athlete was stolen by their distance coach. The director of Akron track has access to the emails that Sykes sent to Ben Thomas.
This has nothing to do with Vin Lananna and any posts blaming him should be deleted for being factually incorrect.
