Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 3547291, member: 1023"] In some ways College basketball and the NCAA have too much to lose if Duke and K get nailed for cheating. CBS too really. After all Duke isn’t a true blue blood in the sense of winning Championships in the same way that say Kentucky or Kansas or UNC are. They are treated like one for sure but in terms of history they are a relative newby. But they are an elite academic institution that has A great head coach and in an era when the sport sometimes resembles a slime pit it is useful to have them as a counterpoint to the likes of Calipari and Kentucky or the Louisville College of radiator repair and Pitino. Everybody can say, “yeah, but look at Duke. That is what college basketball is all about.” It just isn’t in anyone’s interest to lose that so I suspect it will be treated in a way to protect the asset. [/QUOTE]
