Corruption in College Basketball

[Brass Cannon 24,244]

Kansas fans are hilariously trying to deny any possibility they are involved in this

I am truly curious about who would be willing to recruit those guys... UL lost both of their recruits yesterday (Anfernee Simons and Courtney Ramey) ... and Bowen is out (has he lost his eligibility yet?) ...
but IF (big IF) there was some impropriety with their recruitment ... and for the sake of argument, we may have to assume there is, who would be willing to jump into that cesspool?
Inquiring minds...

The point isn't whether or not "most" would care about it, is it?  (I think some would if it were structured well)  The point is to give high school players a place to go and get paid to do it if they're good enough.  I think every person on this board would agree with you relative to what they watch,  There are those who would prefer a true NBA minor league.  Or I think there are.   That league would not be for anyone here who loves college basketball.  Honestly, I think it might improve both products.
The NBA could have a high school draft for kids who register.  Kid doesn't get drafted in, say 3 rounds, he is still eligible for college basketball as long as he qualifies academically.  The fewer doors that are closed to kids, the better.  Nobody will ever eliminate money from the equation; but the shoe companies' involvement in college basketball has become WAY too impactful.  Same in AAU basketball. This corruption investigation surprises me exactly zero.  Part of me is glad it's happening.  Drain the swamp, indeed.  This is as grimy a swamp as politics is.

Exactly

Adidas is in trouble but you know Nike developed the model for such shenanigans. So hoping the FBI digs in to Nike schools.

You guys will get a kick out of this. These are pictures of Alabama commits next to their cars or flashing their money. And we think basketball is bad

I'm shocked by this.  All those kids just want to play for Nick Saban because he's such a good coach, not because they get anything extra on the side.

They could have made 6 figures other places but chose Bama because it's one of the top programs..

And all guilty parties should breathe a sigh of relief if Congress gets involved.  That'll ensure nothing gets done.

The only governing body that could be less threatening is if the UN starts to sniff around.  "You're making us very angry, therefore we're going to take 6 weeks to draft a letter telling you how angry we are."
