The first step is ending 1-done. While it doesn't end the problem it greatly reduces it. As for paying players that is irrelevant to the current scandal. There is no chance on earth that you'll pay a player enough to get him to turn down 6 figures from a shoe company. Honestly how much does Bilas think colleges are going to pay these guys? Let the guys who have enough game go to the NBA and let the college coaches coach.

I agree that 1-and-done is a bad rule. Don't agree that eliminating it "greatly" reduces the problem. Instead of bidding on the best kids in the world, colleges that have millions and millions to spend will just look for the best "college-bound" kids. Don't see how it would change the underlying function of the system.

Because the money isn't coming from colleges. It is coming from shoe companies.

Are there good follows or sites for keeping up with the rumors? I'm following a ton of media people I unfollowed like Forde now but feel like I'm missing stuff. I want to see all the cockroaches exposed when the light hits them! Miami Arizona USC et al

Everyone knew about Penn State. How does one of the top coordinators in the country never get a sniff of a head coaching job unless other programs knew to stay away from Sandusky?

Penn State was all a mirage, they were able to portray a sweet family image when the reality is it was an incredibly disturbing place.

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

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.

It should not Ben too hard to figure out who the other school is, right? I suppose Syracuse has an alibi.

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.

 

[auror]

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.

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.

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.
