Corruption in College Basketball

[mdn82]

I find it awesome that we grade this crap on a curve. Cheating is cheating. Calipari, Roy Williams and Pitino have been accused, but until earlier this year, all have managed to slip away clean. Pitino finally got fired, and that, deservedly... the others need to go... and then the "lesser cheaters" need to get theirs. 

Do I think Roy is on the same level of Self, Calipari, or K? No. Bridges got $400 on the one page vs. $73k for Smith. No they aren’t equal to me.

Coach K is too smart for that. The communication in these dealings need to have more layers than an onion. That's how you stay protected unless there is a whistleblower in your crew.

Yep all communication if it were me would go coach to company/booster to intermediary to intermediary to the kid or family.

Its crazy to me that Duke expects us to believe Ayton and Bowen both got 100K from schools, but Coach K is clean because they did an internal sweep on Wendell Carter. So Marvin Bagley didn’t get paid to be last enrollee because he switched classes last minute? Jahlil Okafor didn’t get paid? Jabari Parker, Zion Williamson, Tyus Jones, Jayson Tatum, should I go on?

And I remember people saying Bowen is a good kid. He's not at fault.

Agree. I want to see Cal, UNC, Kansas, Duke, Syracuse, etc. go down, and I want things cleaned up, but I also don’t won’t college basketball turned into something I don’t recognize anymore.

I can't imagine a world in which I don't look forward to March Madness

The college basketball you recognize is a sham. It could be something better, but there will be growing pains from a reset.

Got a feeling LOTS of coaches will be retiring come seasons end, K, Boeheim, Izzo, etc.

Yes and no. Aspects of it are a sham, and I want those aspects cleaned up. But, this could also get to a point where we don’t even recongnize the sport. The Power 5’s could leave the NCAA entirely. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending the NCAA, but where this could lead to changes that are widespread and drastic. 

Some change is absolutely necessary, but just not sure how far it will go.

Man, it’d really suck to be a 5* junior this year. $h!t hitting the fan just in time to miss out on their big pay days.

How close to the fire are we in this really? Doesn’t sound to me as though an inter-office ASM email, regarding an alleged discussion with an IU assistant means much considering none of the things discussed actually happened. Has me extremely worried however and extremely upset that it could have happened here after all we have been through.

Or this changes the NBA's stance on 'one-and-done' and they could potentially be millionaires straight away.
