I just wish the playing field would be leveled somehow, someway.

The thing about that is I can't think of a way to do it. Someone will always want, and find a way, to get an advantage. Those who are trying to play by the rules want a level playing field. Those who are dirty will always find a way to cheat. I'm not sure a level playing field exists anywhere in sports, and especially not in popular, money making sports.

That's why I lean towards the "join the crowd" mentality. Idk. It's a catch 22. When some coaches make 3-9 million range it's hard sometimes not to feel like the players deserve a piece of the pie. It's a slippery, slippery slope. But it's not 1950 anymore.

The problem is since iu self reported already and got hit they will make sure their coach won't play that way. If he does it will be very under the university radar and very well hidden. We screwed ourselves. We probably won't get many five stars because of this no matter how good Archie is because he won't be allowed to cheat by iu. We will probably be like Wisconsin with four and three star four year players and when it all comes together can make a run. I just don't see us being able to land multiple five stars in this environment. It's hard to recruit against money.

I like this as it is along the lines of my thinking as well.  On a good note, given where we have been and are currently, a legitimate RUN every 4 yrs is good with me as long as we continue to make the tourney leading up to that and stay competitive.
