Re: Shoe money trial

I'm not trying to be flip - whose records would you expect to be subpoenaed? I'm not even sure the defense is arguing the payments didn't happen?

Re: pre-season top 25 polls

I'm almost numb to doing this over UK...every...single...year, when a couple things are obvious: 1. UK is not a "preseason #1-type" without an obvious NPOY-candidate freshman; and 2. It is VERY possible UK will be that good at the end of the season this year. But, Lord, they're going to lo...

Pretty confident he won't be implicated? Ok. But Jesus, how in the world could he be pretty confident his program won't? Horrifyingly dumb.

Re: Shoe money trial

What a horrifically stupid thing to say: [T]he aspects of the case have been gruesome enough to leave UNC Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams "dumbfounded." "It's a massive thing that's still going on, and I'm just dumbfounded," he said on Tuesday. "I had somebody criticize me a...

Re: Shoe money trial

Even if the ncaa starts retroactively handing out penalties, wouldn’t it have to go down the road of doing so based on who knew what when? Yes, and then they're in quagmire of trying to somewhat "evenly" hand out penalties based on information that is wildly-varying degrees of reliable an...

Re: Shoe money trial

Whether the NCAA decides to punish or not, I think if we believe the SDS allegations to be true then we should sit him because the NCAA won't have an answer 1 way or the other before the season anyway. But part of me is with Fish where I'd be okay if we say fuck it and play him knowing it could lik...

Re: Shoe money trial

Twitter right now (which is recapping the morning's testimony of Bowen's dad) is a great example why I'm just not overly concerned about our fate in all of this. Bowen's testimony touched, briefly, on maybe a dozen different teams, and an equal variety of ways they would get money to Bowen. This is ...

Re: Odd man out

Right. I think it also means someone who can really make plays off the dribble, which is something more than being able to put it down a couple times and get to the rack.

Re: Odd man out

We have done a version of this dance nearly every year it seems. In my mind, I tend to think of a "point guard" as being best described as a "primary ballhandling guard", so that would capture guys who are also alpha scorers (like Frank and Devonte).

Most people I know weren't big Trump fans, but they were terrified that Dowdy would win, so they went out of their way to vote for Trump and drove all of their friends with them. Some things are an abomination and must be prevented at all costs. So how will all those people vote when Clinton isn't ...

It's also the case that The Rules - which are over 400 pages last I checked - present a needlessly complicated compliance standard.

Re: Shoe money trial

i've often wondered what the compliance folks (6 of 'em?) are doing, and if they aren't catching on to things like Preston's car earlier in the process (would seem an obvious red flag), wtf is all that money getting spent on? Probably making sure we don't provide cream cheese or jelly ("extras...

Re: Shoe money trial

What I hope - and of course I'm seeing this through crimson and blue glasses - is that there's no fucking way we'd play the hyper-conservative card with Preston's situation...only to end up playing a knowingly-compromised guy in his place. I just cannot believe we'd be so stupid with SDS after being...

Re: Shoe money trial

SDS doesn't have to leave school, but he probably shouldn't play in games if we want to be on the safe side. Especially if we think/know the allegations are true. Self probably hates the ncaa, but he's greatly benefitted from the system too, so he might be hesitant to risk his HOF reputation taking...

Re: Shoe money trial

1. This is obviously huge for KU with respect to Silvio's availability. Unless we know something the NCAA does not (yet) know, there's zero reason to sit him now. . I guess the main reason would be so that we don't open ourselves up to having to vacate any additional wins...and by the letter of the...
