Actions have consequences. The kid is no victim.

Actions have consequences but only for poor people in your scenario. Not the rich people orchestrating the rule breaking.

Actually, the rich people orchestrating it are facing multiple felonies and decades in federal prison...

Not saying Brian Bowen is innocent. Just saying he played the game in the system the NCAA created. You think he’s the only one? Let’s not punish a kid, pretend like that fixes the issue, pat each other on the back for catching “the bad guy”, and move on. Let Brian Bowen play. The system provides incentives for cheating. Fix the system.

Sure. But forcing kids into your system that encourages this behavior in order for them to reach their dream (NBA), and then punishing them when they get caught is morally corrupt. Either get out of their way, allow the activity, or fix your system. And before anyone says the NBA sets the rule for one-and-done, they did set the rule, but they aren’t the only party behind that decision.

I do have to laugh a bit about this whole investigation.  Remember when this story broke last summer and we thought it was going to sent massive shockwaves throughout the CBB landscape?  That it would weed out all of the crooked programs and finally clean up the system since the NCAA is incapable of doing so?  Well, it looks like the only "victims" will be those who were involved in cheating the Treasury out of money - those who simply cheat on recruiting rules will go unscathed.  We should have known.

You could cut and paste that statement and apply it almost universally. I live in the very southwest part of Carmel, Indiana (thanks unwanted annexation) and kids in trouble here are treated vastly differently than kids living just ten miles to the south in Indianapolis. The same could be said for adults, see Jim Irsay case.

I knew nothing would change because nobody wants it to change. Sean Miller is coaching way with no consequences as if nothing ever happened. Sure Pitino finally went down but this was like his 5th strike. This whole thing is quietly being swept under the rug and it's back to business as usual. IU may as well join the party.

Thanks for the link.

My reaction is I'll believe it when I see it.  No confidence in the NCAA or Emmert at all (besides, he looks like that goofy Garrison Keillor).  I have 3 letters that express my profound doubt, Mr. Emmert: U-N-C

Informative article with some info on what the NCAA’s board of governors are currently working on to address certain policies/rules...

 

"Other subjects that the group is looking at are schools’ relationships with apparel companies, the influence of grassroots (or AAU) basketball and the place of agents and advisers in the game. The commission is expected to deliver a final briefing in April. At the NCAA convention last week, Emmert said “we have to have those changes in place by tipoff of next year.”

Always good to rush changes through
