Corruption in College Basketball

Recommended Posts

Seeing reports OK St. has fired Lamont Evans with cause.

And not to be upstaged by the FBI, Congress is jumping into the fray.  The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee has requested a briefing from the NCAA and shoe companies on the basketball bribery scandal.

Oh goodie, that will accomplish as much as the NCAA.

We have only seen the part on top.  I think this is going to be a long, painful process for a lot of people.  I think college basketball as we know it will be over within 2 years.  I think there will be a true minor league system for the NBA.  I think Jay Bilas is naive if he thinks paying players would solve anything.   I don't know if this helps or hurts Indiana; but I do think the number of quality AAU players who attend college will dwindle in the coming years.

Agree with you across the board. Paying players would have exactly zero effect on this issue. Have never understood Bilas' thinking on that piece of it. Also agree about a proper minor league system on the horizon. But the current CBA extends  until, I believe '23. So we wouldn't see anything before that.

Nobody would care about the minor League. The "G" exists and has pretty good talent and nobody cares. It's the university label that fuels the excitement. They need to be careful how they address this.

Agree on the college players who want to be college players part. I'll still watch the college game over the G league regardless. It's only about 25-50 players per year that ruin it.

I used Minor leagues as a "Catch all" for anything besides College Basketball. And I would watch CBB.
