WHEN my son was in high school, I was approached at an AAU tournament by someone from a rival of Louisville’s. He said, “If you want to go to our school, we can get you $100,000.”

But I never considered it, so I didn’t ask for details.

When he committed, my son was choosing between Louisville and another school that had National Championship titles and was no stranger to the Final Four.

What a load of crap.

What a load of crap.

I wonder who the kid is? Blackshear? Siva? Mitchell played baseball but his AAU team was Under Armour, not adidas.

The Louisville board thinks it's Mitchell. The apparel company wasn't mentioned as far as I know.

I'm surprised he even remembered to change the names from that "Will get to the bottom of this" template he found.

I can't get past how the kid is now a victim because other kid's were taking money. And the anonymous dad wants to indict a bunch of other schools without having the cajones to name one.

Sure, but everything in State College is now as sweet and pristine as The Waltons.

The only way Quick goes away quietly is if they pay a chunk of that $44 million.

Read the article, the father clearly states his kid was from and adidas AAU program, Mitchell was not.

I'm talking about what the Louisville board was posting. They never talked about the company. I don't care enough to read the article.

He said that the kid wants to get into college coaching, but now the Louisville name is mud.

From Peyton's recruiting profile, Kansas was the only other school recruiting him with multiple Natty's.

Blackshear was recruited by Kentucky and Kansas.

What a load of crap.

Totally. It's like Slick Rick ghost wrote that article himself. LOL.

Funny I was thinking the same thing about Miller's press release.

Their fans have issues with reading comprehension. A surprise to no one.

The A Dime Back podcast had a good breakdown of why UConn will (probably, hopefully) not get caught up in this investigation.

Went through past recruits, noted many played for Addidas AAU teams and Addidas would obviously not steer a kid towards UConn, a Nike school etc etc

This is going to widen to Nike schools. No one is feeling safe.

Little said UNC coach Roy Williams has insinuated to him that the Tar Heels won’t receive a significant punishment from the NCAA. He said that Williams has not told him of the specific punishment, but told him generally: “It’s not necessarily an athletic thing,” he said Williams told him. “It wasn’t just the basketball team involved in it. They’re not going to be penalized as people suggest.”

That's what I fear.

Roy is such a goober a**hole if he gets away with nothing but a slap on the wrist the NCAA is a total fraud and joke, beyond what we think already.
