Bailey7878 Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 They're all in bed together. (ACC, ESPN, NCAA) money makes money and it only benefits each to promote the others.

HoosierAloha Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 It's a cesspool and nothing will be done to fix it. Bank it.Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkToo much money to be made. Is it a coincidence that UL, Syracuse, and UNC are all part of ESPN's money making basketball conference and have had violations that's gone mostly unpunished in the recent past?

Almost puked listening to Williams smugly talking about how he runs his program the right way while Behiem (spelling) agreed, said the FBI has more important matters to focus on and that the NCAA and AAU had everything under control. What a joke ESPN is for airing this tripe and expecting anyone to believe it. Sent from my LGL41C using BtownBanners mobile app This reminds me of the Fab Five 30-for-30 documentary. When they show Steve Fisher getting fired in Ann Arbor, he says "We ran the program the right way." Then he pauses and repeats, "The right way." ... Well, obviously you didn't run the program the right way if you have a booster giving all the players money, especially giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to Chris Webber. Um, that's not running a program the right way. GloryDays and jonz44 2 Quote

Or, you somehow rationalize it in your head so that you are a saint for lying to help others. But we all know the NCAA is going to just nod and wave. ALASKA HOOSIER, jonz44 and GloryDays 3 Quote

It was also very interesting to read how they used the Yum center lease to essentially use taxpayer funds for their athletic department.Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Walking Boot of Doom Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Honestly, let the kid play. The people who bribed him are the individuals in power who are paid to uphold the rules of their system. I understand that legally the active and passive party in a bribe are guilty, but until the NCAA undergoes team change to fix this systemic issue and prevent this from happening in the future, I don’t want to see individual student athletes punished.Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners Hutch89 1 Quote
