wirenuts Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 What's the fun in having rivals if it's not competitive? Fair enough. I would personally love to see Kentucky at the plank if they are dirty. Not so much Purdue. I just don't like themSent from my LG-H900 using BtownBanners mobile app Napleshoosier 1 Quote

Glad it's being outed, but wishing it upon other teams isn't really a road I want to go down. Could easily be us as well. For me, it's not so much about "wishing it upon other teams", as much as it is wishing that the other teams WHO ARE DOING THE SAME THING also get hammered for their actions.

Walking Boot of Doom Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Another interesting angle to this, Adidas and presumably the other shoe companies effectively damaged programs they have contracts with to promote ones that were willing to "play the game" with them. If I'm the innocent programs under the Adidas umbrella, I'm hitting them hard about contracts. ElectricBoogaloo, 323SGrant, pumpfake and 1 other 4 Quote

reconmkd Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 1 minute ago, AZ Hoosier said: My question here would be relative to "guilt by association". If a school like Louisville is one of the first dominoes to fall, and slick Rick is the first head coach to get axed, and at least one of the assistant coaches on Pitino's staff is implicated, how can one, with a straight face, claim that other assistant coaches are not involved to some extent? And I define "involved" to include everything from having their fingerprints on the evidence, to even knowing that something was going on. There are sins of commission as well as sins of omission... and when the cesspool is this deep, is one really more egregious than the other? Guilty by association is very plausible. It is said that KJ was not apart of the document, but another associate coach was mentioned without a name or codename. I'm just overly curious as to what this will do to Slick Rick, if it is true that he is "coach 2"? Quote
Banksyrules Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 This investigation might force the NCAA to be tough on UNC. Show they have some semblance of being an organization that can lay tough punishments as well. FBI makes them look idiotic and weak and might want to disprove that notion. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Walking Boot of Doom Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Head coaches know everything that goes on with their program, AD's know everything that goes on within their department, and university presidents know everything to happens at their university. Tone at the top either allows or prevents cheating and misconduct of this complexity at all levels. Everyone in the chain of command is complicit in this, in my opinion. pluck, cthomas, Ranger78 and 1 other 4 Quote

It is eccentric but I bet he is much more wealthy now than he was when he started. He's kind of a genius, in a way, and I definitely respect itSent from my LG-H900 using BtownBanners mobile app pluck and Crimson and Cream 2 Quote
