Yeah but was any of that money spent on tattoos or strippers?

Izzo is so retiring after the season, isn't he

It's the downside to technology. This is nothing different than the last 40 years, but now there are trails and records of it. John Wooden dealt with all cash so he's the greatest coach ever without a tainted legacy.

I dont know if a 400 dollar payment to a mother from an agent is going to sink him.

But another sexual assault allegation last week ups the pressure again...plus Bridges and Jackson will both go pro.

Izzo is reloading again next year. Zero chance he leaves over this or the sexual assault stuff.

I have to say, I really would have thought this is all more egrigious. My takeaways are if this is the money being transacted to top talent (granted maybe only one venue), then NCAA can afford to pay decent stipends of 15k a year or something to each revenue generating athletic program., and smaller stipends to less.

 

But also with how often the NCAA has tried to illegally use criminal proceedings to act as fact finding and enforcing wings of the NCAA itself, that the FBI's purpose is basically just enforcing NCAA rules I find disappointing.

This is 1 small document from 1 agent that just happened to leak out (probably intentionally). I imagine the fbi case file is a thousand of those and then some. This is hardly over.

I don't think any of these guys ended up signing with this agent right? That's probably why they got leaked.

I think people just don't really care anymore about some money going to players, and many think they deserve it. Plus, when you have the awful scandals of PSU/Baylor/MSU, this so pales in comparison.

 

 

My first thought is that bball players come pretty cheap.

Can you imagine an NCAA tournament without Duke, North Carolina, Michigan State, Louisville, Maryland, Kentucky, NC State, Seton Hall, Washington, USC, Alabama, Texas, LSU, Kansas... and more?

Salty.

There would be zero reason to watch.

Louisville got busted for strippers, UNC didnt get s*** for years of academic fraud. There is clearly a line there.

Grand total of 55 seconds in the bonus. That’s nuts.

lol. And with that. I’m going to bed.

Damn I was hoping Dakich lost it for you

Would imagine Ayton's season is over and that Sean Miller will have a show cause soon.

There would be zero reason to watch.

Except it's the f***ing NCAA tournament and a field of 64 is narrowed down to 16 in four days.

 

The tournament is an event. No one GAF about if Duke is in the first round in particular. They just want to see tons of games with upsets.

 

The NCAA should throw the book at UNC. It feels like they can't go 12 months without breaking an NCAA rule.

Sean Miller caught on an FBI wire tap discussing a $100k payment to a recruit. He is done, but his contact is written where he gets 85% of his remaining money even if fired for cause. $10.3 million parting gift for getting the school in trouble and embarrassed.

 

It is funny Jason Terry is leading the charge against this guy. He got caught taking money at Arizona.

KU takes down TT in Lubbock, yet another B12 crown.

 

Btw, wonder who the possible Iowa State allegations involve...during Hoiberg years?

 

OU finally gets a desperately needed home win against KState, but they still need to win at home against ISU, at Baylor or first round of B12 tourney to clinch. Have only won 3 of last 12, but one was KU. They also beat TT, TCU twice...once when they were ranked 10th.

 

Texas and Baylor right on the NCAA cut line.

 

Missouri/KY looks interesting, between Knox stuff and Porter return?

Monte Morris but as of now it's just that he may have had a meal paid for.

It is ridiculous that ISU would have its name dragged through this on every list for something like that. I am pretty sure there are more schools that have violated that rule than have not.

It's also a meal with an agent after he was already at ISU, so it's not a recruiting deal. Who knows how it'll shake out.
