HinnyHoosier Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Yeah for real, it's crazy to think about what's been learned since I woke up this morning.Yahoo and others still have plenty reading left to do. I'd imagine someone is up late writing another story as we speak. They're probably stretching it out, too. The more publication, the better. It's a gold mine for them.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Magnanimous Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I'm just going to put this out there, and I don't know how relevant it actually is to this discussion, but given the cost of college these days and how many kids are graduating with debt, I find the entire concept of an athletic scholarship incredibly stupid. And yet we have "student athletes" not only getting full rides, but this extra crap on the side too? I realize they're adults and deserve to get paid what they're worth, but how about taking a step back and reexamining the role of sports at a university in general? moyemayhem, Josh, cthomas and 2 others 4 1 Quote

His secondary for Gary Harris gave that away. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I find it awesome that we grade this crap on a curve. Cheating is cheating. Calipari, Roy Williams and Pitino have been accused, but until earlier this year, all have managed to slip away clean. Pitino finally got fired, and that, deservedly... the others need to go... and then the "lesser cheaters" need to get theirs. Quote
HinnyHoosier Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I still think duke will skate unless coach k is on tape. Now I could just see iu get nailed for something involving Bryant. Hope I'm wrong.Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkCoach K is too smart for that. The communication in these dealings need to have more layers than an onion.

cthomas Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 He was crucified for it, but Lance Armstrong only started doping when it was apparent that all the other podium riders were and he couldn't compete otherwise. Doesn't make it right, but I think a lot of otherwise good guys cheat because they can't be competitive if they don't play the same game. That doesn't excuse what's going on but it does explain it to some degree. Put yourself in these coaches position and with your job on the line, what would you do.

No. Bridges got $400 on the one page vs. $73k for Smith. No they aren’t equal to me.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierTrav 1 Quote

Popular Post BGleas Posted February 24, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 24, 2018 Its crazy to me that Duke expects us to believe Ayton and Bowen both got 100K from schools, but Coach K is clean because they did an internal sweep on Wendell Carter. So Marvin Bagley didn’t get paid to be last enrollee because he switched classes last minute? Jahlil Okafor didn’t get paid? Jabari Parker, Zion Williamson, Tyus Jones, Jayson Tatum, should I go on?

The college basketball you recognize is a sham. It could be something better, but there will be growing pains from a reset.

Aspects of it are a sham, and I want those aspects cleaned up. But, this could also get to a point where we don’t even recongnize the sport. The Power 5’s could leave the NCAA entirely. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending the NCAA, but where this could lead to changes that are widespread and drastic. Some change is absolutely necessary, but just not sure how far it will go. Quote
