Add that the UNCAA only acts in response to a few select schoolsMy belief has always been that the NCAA knows exactly what's been going on for many years. They let it continue because it's good for business. Coaches don't want to turn in other coaches. The NCAA only acts when they have to because something leaks to the public and it looks bad so they don't want that negative publicity. They need to look like they care or else what's the point of the entire amateur model which is the foundation of the NCAA's existence?
I used to go to AAU events in the decade of the 2000's and there was always talk among coaches about what recruits were asking for money and what schools were offering. So you're telling me I was told this stuff, all the coaches knew about this stuff and the NCAA didn't? Yeah, sure.
If there's cheating like this in college basketball can you imagine what is going on with college football, where the money schools make is exponentially larger? So how come we don't hear about that? Where's the big scandal there? There is none because paying players is good for business. Call me a cynic. But the almighty dollar always rules.
Has anyone watched the HBO's documentary "The Scheme" ?
If so what did you think ?
Thanks
Below is a trailer to the documentary.
I was thinking there's no way Miller only makes $1.5 million. Almost double that.Miller missed one game I believe. Coached last year. Salary LY: $1.5M
Thank you. I updated.I was thinking there's no way Miller only makes $1.5 million. Almost double that.

Arizona coach Sean Miller hasn't received a contract extension in more than two years
Sean Miller will enter the 2019-20 season working off what is now a three-year contract at the University of Arizona.www.azcentral.com
But he's still a sleaze ball no matter how much he makes.Thank you. I updated.
Miller now owes Book. Big-time IMO. In fact, many people also owe Dawkins a nod of appreciation. He didn't seek a deal and didn't give up any coaches. I wonder how many D-I coaches out there were holding their breath, praying the kid didn't out them.
