UCF Scandal

In a stinging indictment of the UCF football program, CSTV.com’s Adam Caparell wrote that in considering UCF for the potential Big East expansion they bring little, if anything to the table.

“The casual teams that have been thrown out as possible additions - Conference USA teams like Memphis, UCF and ECU - don’t add a whole lot“, said Caparell on the CSTV.com website.

UCF and Conference USA both partners of CSTV.com must be reeling at the thought of their partner exposing them as such lightweight players in the world of college football. Caparell goes on in his article to suggest a MAC team might be a better future Big East member than UCF.

All this amid UCF’s annual season ticket drive. As the 6th best team in the state, the timing on this cold dose of reality couldn’t have been worse.

UCF FANS!!!!

Typical UCF fans:

Gross.

UCF Scandal exclusive:

As part of our ongoing commitment to truth and safety, UCF Scandal brings to you directly from the pages of the UCF Police Department a list of sexual predators knowingly employed or enrolled by the University of Central Florida.

View the list here

UCF states on their law enforcement page listing known sexual predators “The University of Central Florida Police Department will make notifications to the community of any one who is enrolled or employed to the university.”

Well UCF students, you got that going for you.  Please visit the link above to identify the sexual predators in your class and/or neighborhood.  Names are not listed here as they are certain to change.   Protect yourself.

University leaders’ plea: We need $1 billion more

University of Central Florida President John Hitt said the school “could badly use those funds.”

“This year we’re expecting a cut of between 3 and 4 percent in the base budget,” Hitt said. “It means there will be fewer class sections and more students in classes. We’re not at a crisis point there, but we’re not where we’d like to be as we’re perceived around the nation. . . . It’s not good.”

Like all Florida universities, UCF has capped freshman enrollment for the current year. But with deeper budget reductions on the horizon, Hitt said the university may be forced to reduce admissions for students who get associate’s degrees from community colleges, a historic pathway to a bachelor’s degree in Florida.

ANSWER: Okay, it was an easy one. I thought maybe the lying would throw off some of you. The answer of course was Gene McDowell, the disgraced coach that resigned amid the famous UCF cell phone scandal (more of that to follow). Here is the link to the quote of federal prosecutor Cynthia Hawkins Collazo. Congratulations to those well versed in the rich history of UCF scandal.

From the UCF Unethical Coaches category comes this gem. Read the passage below and see if you can guess which UCF head coach is being described by this comment (full article to be linked when answer is posted).”

“He is charged with lying about it over and over again. Even after he got a lawyer he was given the chance to do the honest, honorable thing.”

I know the real die hard and demented UCF fans know who this is, but play along with the rest. Who is this guy that couldn’t come clean no matter the setting or opportunity? No honesty, no honor - who is it?

a: Gene McDowell
b: Mike Kruczek
c: George O’Leary

Thanks for enjoying another UCF Scandal with us!

Which of the following would you guess is Brandon Marshall’s favorite movie?

1) Anger Management - Self-explanatory. Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler star.

2) I’m Gonna Get You Sucka - Just the title and the guns on the front seemed fitting enough for a guy that likes to find trouble…nice smile to boot. Starring Damon Wayans and the rest of the Wayan brothers.

3) Leaving Las Vegas - Story of a man burdened by his affection for drinking. Not that the star (Nicholas Cage) got a DUI, but still the booze flows a plenty.

Have I missed one? Please feel free to enter a write-in candidate.
