Walking Boot of Doom Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 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. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando BtownBanners Stromboli, coonhounds and cthomas 3 Quote

mdn82 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 As devil's advocate, Perea didn't know his guardian's wife bought bumper stickers years before he was born and HE still got punished for it.Don’t disagree. Consistency and common sense isn’t the NCAA strong suit.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
MikeRoberts Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 If he knew of the bribe, which he had to have, he is guilty. They should at least make the family give the money back before thinking about admitting himSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app jonz44 1 Quote

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. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
pumpfake Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 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.

Not the rich people orchestrating the rule breaking. 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. Quote

We should have known.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.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

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).
