You should listen to the SoS podcast with Justyn ... he explains exactly what happened.
Short version, he knew going in that there would likely be some repercussions, but he viewed it as the experience was worth the risk - especially since at the time he did not know he was going to be coming back. He also said that there were others who participated in this one event - and others and they are serving longer suspensions.
I don't fault him for what he did or for any lack of "guidance" - he was going through a process and didn't know he was coming back so he was taking an opportunity to make himself better and get better feedback.

programs get away with murder but then they enforce tricky tack rules that are really senseless. Since their powers have been curtailed they like to flex unnecessary muscle if and when they can.

They just want to control these young men. Nobody should be punished in any way for exploring their options. I understand there have to be rules and limits, but a suspension for this is just stupid. They gotta have their control though.

I had no idea this was likely self-reported. I hope that's the case and not some other school trying to catch the Hokies in a technicality. Especially given the blatant cheating that goes on by the blue bloods with little consequences.

Cheating of some sort goes on at EVERY program....everyone of them

....participating in an event that is not sanctioned by the NCAA and (hypothetically speaking) a university creating phony classes to help prop up the GPAs of "student-athletes". Not that such a thing could ever happen in the prestigious Athletic Coast Conference, but the NCAA's inconsistent enforcement of its own rules is one of the multitude of reasons I don't watch any college sports anymore.
I agree that "cheating" of some sort probably happens everywhere, but I don't consider the Mutts suspension the result of "cheating" in any sense of the word. He was contemplating entering the NBA draft, and apparently simply got careless with the things he participated in.

Which is basically cheating.
Agree on other things and there is a difference but still breaking the rules is breaking the rules

cutout in a car dealership, but he has to sit for doing something that was for his future. The NCAA is a cesspool.

I can pay Justyn Mutts $10k to participate in an unsanctioned 'NIL H-O-R-S-E Tournament' in my driveway, and that is totally permissible under NCAA rules.
But if an NCAA basketball player participates in an actual tourney (unpaid, I may add) to further their post-college career, that's where they draw the line?

not even a slap on the wrist. As usual well done NCAA. Calipari, Dean Smith, Huggins, Pearl,Coach K they all salute you for keeping a watchful eye out for serious violation such as this. Not since Bruce Smiths mom got a free load of firewood has there been such an blatant & egregious violation. Keep up the good N o C heating A t A ll.
