Nothing to see here.
Nothing to see here.
I have not had blinders on, I have know money is and has been part of recruiting since at least the 70s. I have been waiting for this day to happen when someone stands up under oath and confesses. Now will anything happen? No. Look at the schools. Alabama, Notre Dame Michigan PSU. What's interesting is no LSU UGA Clemson Oregon etc etcOP, It always was. Or, did you just have blinders on and hoped that it was somehow different? If anything, since there is so much more money to be made in football, the corruption has been/is worse.
Forget any money changing hands, it starts with the whole "student-athlete" premise. Just how many members of the UM football team would ever be admitted to the university under the merit standards applied to other non-athlete applicants? It escalates from there to the "bags" and whatever enters the picture.
with Bama and Notre Dame in there they will have 20/90 vision.NCAA right now:
I'm told Georgia is dropping bags like nobodys business. But they didn't make the list.
Now this is the part that got me....
"Much of this was eventually uncovered and legislated by the NCAA, which hit UNC's football program. Blazer offered this information under cooperation with the government. He's facing a max of 67 years in prison if he lies or misleads. "
Am I reading that right? The NCAA uncovered the payments and legislated its own penalties against UNC yet it didn't hit the media? Wasn't made into a big deal? Instead all I heard was UNC players didn't learn Swahili despite majoring in it and passing....
Kinda what I was gonna say... individuals are being prosecuted, and the schools will be able to claim they knew nothing of the payments. The ncaa will be able to punish the players without sanctioning the schools.After reading further it seems that this guy is paying players NOT to go to certain schools, but to use him in the future as an advisor or whatever he was.
This seems to be a strategy of the prosecution - that these people acted on their own. The prosecution is going after INDIVIDUALS, not the system
It’s the defense that is the side trying to argue that the institutions have a culture of corruption, and the defendants, or atleast one, was just a pawn in the corrupt culture of college athletics.
Sean Miller and Will Wade are NO LONGER TESTIFYING because the prosecution argued corruption of the system had nothing to do with the crimes of the INDIVIDUALS. The judge ruled in favor of the prosecution - and that was really the checkmate in this whole charade. Will Wade was reinstated the next day.
And UNCPitts about to get whacked......
That’s the narrative. A kid with some dude acted alone. School skates. Unless it’s us and car rentals.
NCAA had Miami's name been mentioned:with Bama and Notre Dame in there they will have 20/90 vision.
I'm told Georgia is dropping bags like nobodys business. But they didn't make the list.
Ex-Tar Heel Hakeem Nicks guilty of academic fraud during final season at UNC
North Carolina's all-time receiving leader was ineligible through the 2008 season.www.google.com
Last summer, an official Notice of Allegations named Nicks as just one of five former players – along with three agents, a jeweler, "various financial advisers" and a guy named Willie [last name unknown] – who combine to funnel more than $27,000 in cash and other "impermissible assistance" to former teammates with eligibility remaining in 2009-10. Nicks' reported share of that total was $3,189.20 on behalf of unidentified recipients, a relative footnote in a scandal that ultimately resulted in the suspension of 14 players for at least one game; the permanent suspension or dismissal of four players;, three of them future draft picks; the vacation of 16 wins over two years; the imposition of scholarship losses and a one-year bowl ban by the NCAA;
Alabama being in there is like when the local police arrested pablo escobar. A big ******* joke where nothing will happenPretty surprised to see Alabama in there.
If you mean the 1870s. Paying players has been going on as long as the college game has been played. Just more newsworthy now since so much money is involved. Just wait until sports betting is up and running in all 50 states. This is nothing.I have not had blinders on, I have know money is and has been part of recruiting since at least the 70s.
