They represent 3 Syracuse guys. And Hollis.

Licking my chops to see how this plays out. And I don't think it will take us a decade to find out.

Nerlens Noels was with Andy Miller before he fired him this year. Hmm. Bag Men.

Two chuckles out of all of this: 1. A tweet from a UConn fan - "Congratulations to Sean Miller for finally making a Final Four". 2. A syracusefan post :"Jim Boeheim has too much integrity to ever be involved in a bribe". Pretty sure Arizona will be voiding their postseason aspirations this season in order to avoid there future recruiting classes being affected. Unfortunately, in a very slimey manner they will wait until January to announce as to avoid mass transfers before the season starts.

Anderson Sports Management? I knew the methods used by the Rock and Rob Corddry were too aggressive. Ballers Season 4 is going to be really interesting...

Until the dust settles a bit, I don't think ANYONE in the college basketball landscape should be throwing stones...

As mentioned earlier in another thread, Arizona is a Nike school. My assumption is that since this is based on recruiting, then the Adidas angle is based on the recruits that play for Adidas AAU teams. Sure, there is often a high likelihood that an Adidas AAU recruit ends up at an Adidas college, but that's not always the case. Richardson from Arizona was taking money from an agent with the assurance that he would push the kid(probably Jahvon Quinerly) their way when the time came.. It doesn't appear to be about recruiting in his case.. Sorry, you're right, recruiting wasn't involved in the Arizona case. But my broader point was that this overall issue is not limited to Adidas school. Edit: Actually, I just went back and read a description of the allegations against Richardson, and recruiting was involved. He paid Quinerly $5,000 to commit to Arizona. He then got paid later on for what you described. So yes, it does appear to partially be about recruiting in this case.

While the NCAA may not be actively complicit, I think this raises the issue of letting these guys go pro out of HS. The current rule has debased CBB and has created a two-tier system on the top blue bloods and everyone else. This started with Calipari and Worldwide Wes, and continued with the UNC academic fraud. It is frankly unfair to deny a CBB athlete the right to become a pro right away, like tennis, golf and baseball. Lets face it, the top athletes by and large just hang out in college for a year, or even less. Not to say they are "dumb", just that they can always get a degree down the line if it important to them. I think that getting rid of the one and done phenomenon will decrease these shenanigans. Yes, the true lowlifes will find another way to cheat, but right now, the money involved with one and dones is just too tempting. I like the baseball rule. You go directly out of high school or you stay a minimum of 3 years... This will minimize the corruption as I don't think there is ever a way to completely remove it. Cheaters will find away but you have taken away those kids who don't want to be in school. Even European teams will be more interested (and pay more $) in high school players because they will be signing 3 year contracts vs the 1 year hold my spot contract until I can get to the NBA. This rule will also show which college coaches can develop talent and which ones are riding elite players coattails. I would imagine that if the baseball rule was ever implemented, Calipari announcement of returning to the NBA would follow shortly after. The hockey model is a better way to go.

If he had any common sense he would call a press conference, insist he had no knowledge and would never ever condone this - then announce he is resigning because it was still under his watch, will be a major hindrance/distraction going forward, wants the school to be able to move past this as soon as possible, blah blah blah.

Pitino knew he was done yesterday, when he released his "statement" through his attorney. Had he been in good stead and lockstep with UL, that "statement" would have come out through the university.
