Damn never heard that one either.

Yea that was the story. They didn't find it until Duncan was already in college. Also asked Jeff Teague why he went to Wake and he said bc IU was in trouble at the time and Purdue didn't want him.

No, assuming it's on podcast. Did he talk about Duncan's recruiting package getting lost in an assistants desk and they didn't really recruit him when Duncan had interest in IU?

Wasn't that the same class as Gordon. In which we weren't in trouble till he already went to wake.

Not positive, but I believe the coaching staff had some restrictions on phone calls already bc of the Oklahoma days.

Yes Sampson brought sanctions with him which I never understood

[Brass Cannon]

Oh I forgot Sampson made too many phone calls. It's a shame he didn't do something minor like have fake classes for 20 years.

Or allow recruits to party with prostitutes

This is so dumb imo

Right. The only thing that happens is a school loses out on a decent pay day.

Why is this dumb? They are standing up for something that they think is wrong. Sports is an awesome platform for voices to be heard loud and clear. I recall a coach by the name of Don Haskins doing some radical things with his basketball team that went against the grain of his day's ignorant norm.

The kids lose out on a great experience. The Governor doesn't speak for everyone.

It's dumb for at least a couple of reasons: 1) Duke has/had nothing to do with the law. 2) Advocating for the forced acceptance of men using the women's restroom because they want to, and somehow equating that to a moral crusade, is foolish at best. Your chromosomes determine if you are a man or woman, not how you 'self-identify'. Pretending otherwise isn't tolerance, it is an idiotic fantasy.

When will we start having just different levels of tours? I'm not a great golfer but I'm certain I could make it on the LPGA. Can I identify as female and go and make millions on that tour...?

Oh geez. Probably best to stay away from these sorts of topics on an Indiana Basketball message board. It's best for everyone.

Agreed we have enough controversy just with our recruiting strategy to fill our quota

Oh the ignorance and denial to accept anyone different.

I forgot all about this law once the media quit talking about it a while back. It sucks that the Albany players are being punished for something that they had absolutely nothing to do with.
