Paying Players

[Scrutiner]

Interesting quote from Hurley. Could be the cover needed by all the usual suspects. Lawyers from LSU, Auburn, Arizona, Western Kentucky and Duke are rumored to have called Hurley for advice.

"Hurley acknowledged potential complications in recruiting (such as if schools used sham endorsement deals to funnel money to prospects) but rejected the idea that players would bristle if teammates earned more in endorsement cash. "

Here's the article the quote is from: Geno Auriemma, Dan Hurley, UConn basketball players voice support for college-athlete endorsement bill

Skimmed the article and not sure I see any mention about lawyers calling Hurley though...

As in nothing but net versus that gross form resulted in a clunker.
