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...

Re: Shoe money trial

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...

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

Re: Shoe money trial

What's funny to me is that KU is holding off on signing their Adidas contract. In my opinion, KU's "response" to this should be to dump Adidas and switch back to Nike. We look like we're making a moral stand while actually switching to the biggest cheaters in the sport. Nike is simply bet...

Re: Shoe money trial

adidas is going to be sucking the fuzzy end of the lollipop no matter what. Now it's just a matter of who they take with them. Why, exactly? Even if these guys are found guilty, you think Adidas cares? If anything, this is fine for them and the other shoe companies, because it's a few million bucks...

Re: Last names

I'm 100% in the "whatever the couple decides is a-ok" camp. I know a number of women with established, pre-marriage careers that do not want to "confuse the market," as it were. I also know a number of women who change their names legally and socially, but continue to go by their...

Re: Shoe money trial

So the Adidas people who have incriminated themselves have secrets on us. True. Now can't we use that as a bargaining chip against them too? Like I said, I'm an idiot and I'm just trying to understand every possible avenue this could go. I would think that the leaking of details on which players we...

Re: Shoe money trial

I enjoyed K saying the other day, "[Cheating is] not what's happening. ... We haven't lost guys because someone cheated."

So...um...you're saying that Duke hasn't lost a guy to someone else because someone else paid a kid?

I wonder how that could be.

Needless to say I heartily agree with much of this.

Re: Shoe money trial

All of those texts can be explained with different context too. They mean nothing by themselves. The most important question was ‘did Self know you were paying him?’ Answer: ‘no, he didn’t.’ The NCAA won’t use part of testimony and ignore the other part. And when this trial ends in a NOT GUILTY ver...
