It wouldn’t surprise me if Wade was doing something sketchy to get the recruits he has. Nothing has been found though. I wish the NCAA looked into Bryce Drew’s recruiting.

That what i was thinking

Recruiting as a whole is probably going to be under the microscope at least for the next few cycles. I can forsee another attempt of adding a layer of scrutiny to avoid corruption, but as long as the shoe companies are involved and the one and done rule is around...they'll find a way. I hope the NBA starts a true tweener league (or actually make the G league viable for that) for high level prospects so the corrupt can go take a risk on themselves instead of academic institutions who want to compete athletically.

I'm guessing this whole FBI deal will turn out to be a bigger scandal than back in 1994, when the Western University Dolphins bought Matt Nover a tractor, Shaquille O'Neal a car and a house for Penny Hardaway's mom. And they got off with three measly years of probation! That just cried out for death penalty, especially when on top of all that, Tony had been shaving points! ... And what really chaps my behind is that they beat us when we were No. 1 that year, with a team that was dirty through and through. ... No wonder the NCAA is such a joke.

Indiana mentioned in CBB investigation ...Indiana assistant coach Chuck Martin was alleged to have said he’d push OG and Thomas Bryant to sign with ASM if they could get Bryan Bowen to go to IU.......anyone know anything about this

There was an error in the original reporting. Martin didn’t say that. The agent in an intra office email said he told Martin he would help get Bowen to IU if Martin could get OG and Bryant to sign with the agent when they went into the draft. 

OG and Bryant did not sign with that agent.

Reporters make alot of mistakes

Rumor is that another big name coach is going to have his name dropped in this wiretapping business this week.

I don't think there's much fan interest for a "tweener league". The G League has terrible attendance. Fans, for the most part, don't go to college games to watch certain players. They go to watch the schools. The name of the school is what drives the interest. Take that away and put the same players in a G league type of league and the interest would drop, imo.

Yep for a few years and then it will be back to business as usual.

These kids should not be paid and they already get over 100,000 in free college. There should be three other choices. We already have a lot of kids playing one year of college who are not student athletes and have no interest in being in college. You think most of the Kentucky one and dones are actually taking real classes? So now we pay them to to do the exact same thing. No thanks. If they start paying players you may as well call it NBA 2.0 No thanks.

 

And as I have said before if you do pay them be prepared to all pay students athletes including all women’s non-revenue sports.  College sports as we know it would be basically a semi pro league.

 

1. Ball's league.

2. Ending one and done.

3. Go to the D league or Europe.

It's not up to the NCAA to end one and dones. That's the NBA's rule. 

I'm sure there would be a way to get around paying all athletes. Most sports are already losing money and have to be supported by football and men's basketball.

I'm just curious why you're so opposed to paying the players. Your "it would be the NBA 2.0" doesn't hold up. You watch basketball now even though you know that players are getting paid. The only difference would be that it would be out in the open instead of hidden. What's your real reason for being against it?

Guy on rupp named xrainmanx claiming to have sources in past saying texas and msu is up next to drop this week. I dont trust people on this board that i like let alone some random jack over there but did find it interesting to see if he is right
