Corruption in College Basketball

The NCAA has egg all over their faces on this one....I expect Izzo to have some more stuff brought to him and he will either resign, or is fired. Emmert is only going to protect Emmert. He has been proven incompetent( as if we didn't already know) and I think if the NCAA doesn't take action, heads will roll at that office too. Just an opinion but even though it may take awhile, I think so much info will come out that these presidents and ADs will have no choice. Or its just wishful thinking. Stay tuned....

With everything that is coming to light, the NCAA looks more and more impotent and incompetent. They are the ones who have lost institutional control.

I would think they would have to work to restore order, or face the possibility of being replaced. Once again, just an opinion

I wonder if that might be a real possibility as this mess gets bigger and bigger. I guess that would be up to the university presidents, right?

We are hard after TJB, Brooks, Hurt, and Watford and very likely could get none of them. All top players and all players the dirty recruiters would pay to get.

Honestly we may be best served to take on a Wisconsin model and spend our time on 4 stars and high 3 stars. I mean our success ratio would probably be pretty good on getting guys we want. I mean we could waste all this time on these 5 stars and lose out in most cases to money in the end.

The options are pretty simple and there are really only two of them.

  1. Wisconsin model and maybe land an in state 5 star every five years or so.

 

  1.  Drop your ethics and play in the weeds with the big boys who will do anything to win.  You simply will not get five stars without playing dirty.

The sad thing for me about all of this is that, at its inception, the game was pure. It's nothing close to that now. Admittedly, I'm old and probably out of touch but I miss that purity, even if it was only an illusion.

Anything where money is involved there will be some level of corruption. Football may make more in sales, but merchandise is basketball hands down. I haven’t heard of the Peyton Manning shoe, but you got Jordan’s, Kobe’s, Steph Curry, etc. Just so lucrative for so many people if a kid is good.
