SPORTING GOODS

Enjoy the Huskies' appearance in an NCAA tourney while you can.

The University of Connecticut violated NCAA rules during its recruitment of basketball player Nate Miles, an online report charges.

The report, by Yahoo! Sports, says that between 2006 and 2008 Miles was provided lodging, transportation, restaurant meals and representation by Josh Nochimson, a sports agent and former student and team manager at UConn in the late 1990s.

This sure doesn't bode well. The irony is that, to say the least, Miles wasn't worth the effort.

Miles, from Toledo, Ohio, was expelled from UConn Oct. 2 amid allegations he abused a female student. He was accused of becoming physical and trying to pressure her into sex. A restraining order was issued Sept. 22 and Miles was arrested for placing a call to the woman, a 19-year-old from Manchester, 16 minutes later.
