According to writer Kevin Thomas of the Maine Sunday Telegram, the NCAA's Investigation of University of Maine's atheletics continues to drag, so don't expect to see any sentences being dealt before the hockey season gets underway in October. According to the article, UMaine has still not turned in their self-report to the NCAA. Thomas says that the Kansas City law firm, Bond, Schoeneck and King has not yet finished. He also says in his article that "Maine officials figured the report would be done by summer." "It's taking longer than anticipated," said John Diamond, Maine Public Affairs director "it doesn't make any sense to keep speculating." Here's the real clincher though. Thomas says that this is long from being over by pointing out that after the report is turned in, it could still possibly take another NINE MONTHS to settle. All summer Maine has also been looking at AD canadates. Thomas said in his article that the last canadate will interview this week, and that the committee will meet Thursday. Thomas anticipates a decision will be made by September. --- Deron [log in to unmask] University of Maine HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
