Bailey7878 Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 And, worth mentioning, IU has/had nearly a 1 million dollar recruiting budget. If we just threw 200k per player we'd save ourselves lots of money. Now, I'm only kidding, because this isn't how it works, but it re-emphasizes the value of the dollar in college hoops and what we are willing to spend legally.

The ncaa has no interest in fixing this.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

Also, the 1 and done rule may change soon enough to affect the proceedings. I still think the best players available will have financial worth though. But yeah, the NCAA wants it all to blow over.

MikeRoberts Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 There is plenty of proof that top players are getting paid, in many ways. Anyone that is denying this notion is living in lala land. It’s been out there for decades and continues to be illuminated.

Ajwhitis Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Almost every team getting big recruits is dirty in some way, including IU, hate to say it. It's not even shameful at this point, it is literally what we must do to compete at the level we expect IU to compete at. It probably isn't on the level that Louisville and Duke are on but in some way, the staff is offering benefits that other students are not getting. Quote

It's not the direct staff, in most cases, that are offering anything. It's the agents (wannabes or real), boosters, shoe company reps, and others.

Bailey7878 Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I doubt IU did anything unethical or in violation of NCAA rules. Not after the Sampson fiasco. Crean would have been a moron to try anything shady.I'm not a crean fan but I'd be shocked if he was paying anyone after the Sampson fiasco.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

That's most definitely an improper benefit!
