Re: Shoe money trial

I know you struggle with it. We just don't see things the same way. I prefer to keep money out of college basketball as best we can and you don't care. Again, you'd prefer KC Phogushers and i'd prefer Western Hutchinson's CC Birds. Ok. So college basketball should be more accessible for rich kids t...

Re: Shoe money trial

No absolutely not....but I also think Duke may not have a coach talking about it explicitly in a text like dumbass KT. Maybe, maybe not. Certainly were I a defendant in one of these cases, I'd fight like hell to introduce evidence of a bidding war (in that, if there's a bidding war, then there's no...

Re: Shoe money trial

No doubt. There definitely are. I just mean that K and Roy wouldn't be coming out making these bold statements if they thought there was a chance they'd have a text message out there like Selfs or KTs....otherwise they're going to look foolish if they're saying this and there is evidence that they ...

Re: Shoe money trial

I would be fine with this as well as long as the player wasn't getting paid ( or immediately paid ) and wasn't working with an agent during the school year. In your opinion, should Kyler Murray not be allowed to play football for Oklahoma this year? Should the player allowed to have received a draf...

Re: Shoe money trial

But seriously, those guys are just setting the stage for what's to come. They must know they're not going to pop up on a stupid text message string. Nike probably just does this better than Adidas (like everything else). So they're just preemptively setting the narrative that they didn't know becau...

Re: Pre-season Big12 awards

I would bet on both these things happening:

1. Doke will have a much better year; and

2. Konate will have a highlight block on Doke.

It won't eliminate this but it sure will help.
Eliminate it, and/or look to hockey for an example of how a player can be drafted (and his rights retained) but still develop in college.

I would have assumed you wouldn't have said this until January 26th at something like 10pm.

Re: Shoe money trial

I, for one, will be watching the champions classic. I'll let those of you who boycott know how it goes. Fish is right, there are a lot more things to love about college basketball than there are to hate about it. Michhawk is the type of guy who'd divorce his wife because she poops with the door ope...

Again: what is your point?

Is your point that supporting the product is an endorsement of everything that has to do with the product?

Re: Shoe money trial

The fans don't agree with how things are done. The alumni don't agree with how things are being done. The athletes don't agree with how things are being done. The member institutions don't agree with how things are done. Who's left? Assuming the monster isn't willing to change. Who is left to facil...

So the member institutions are gonna crab about the institution, but they are not gonna do anything about it. Got it. This thread is 18 pages of crabbing about the monster that is the ncaa.

Re: Shoe money trial

Serious question, if the ncaa is as monsterous as we say they are, why don't the member institutions bolt? Could it be there is too much money to be made. Maybe they are not so bad that we are willing to give up those big fat checks that come with being a member institution. Sure the ncaa sucks. Bu...

Re: Shoe money trial

The whole text of this link is required reading, in my opinion. The NCAA Is Gaslighting You https://deadspin.com/the-ncaa-is-gaslighting-you-1829716653 Prior to 1948, the NCAA never asserted any right to actually enforce its amateur status, leaving it to each conference to assess its own fans’ compe...

Re: Pre-season Big12 awards

An all-state-of-Kansas first team (Lawson/Grimes/Doke/Brown/Wade) is not out of the question.
