Re: Shoe money trial

Are we seriously not talking about this? Bowen said Dawkins originally mentioned they could get $60-80K from Adidas for going to Louisville, but it rose to $100K because "Billy Preston had gotten $100K" from Adidas for going to Kansas. This is a good example of why I’m not worried - based...

Mitch will rebound, defend, and score better against other 4s, instead of against the other teams biggest player (which was often the case last year).
I agree with this.

Re: Shoe money trial

Regardless, if Adidas paid the money back to under armour, then that's essentially the same as paying him to come to KU. It's not like the originally money was refunded completely, it just changed who the money came from. Sure - I guess I just read Geezer to be saying that Adidas gave SDS (or someo...

Re: Shoe money trial

SDS was not paid to come to KU. The money was to pay Under Armor who supposedly paid to have SDS go to Maryland. You believe a scenario where all that happened is that UnderArmour's money was returned, and that SDS went to KU for free? That was the initial story before his guardian denied getting a...

Re: Odd man out

Assuming Agbaji isn't even in the conversation, I think the most likely "odd man out" candidate is McCormack. Anyone who thinks he'll play over Lightfoot hasn't been paying close attention to how things work under Self. I must admit to still having a bad feeling about the possibility that ...

Re: Shoe money trial

Reading a Matt Tait article where he interview an attorney who specializes in cases like this. Scenarios as follows... 1. KU and SDS come out of this scotch clean 2. KU comes out clean but SDS is ruled ineligible (the Cam & Cecil Netwon rule) because his 'handler' admits he took the cash even t...

Re: Shoe money trial

Reading more about this damn near every major D1 school has been mentioned in some way or the other. I don’t understand what the end goal of this trial is? To bring down the NCAA? To end the “shocking” practice of paying players? To make an even playing field? Well...the real goal is for some prose...

Re: Shoe money trial

What does "innocent" mean? I would guess that (a) Self has a lot more actual knowledge of this stuff than most people would care to believe, and (b) we haven't done anything outside the norm for high-major programs. Does B mean 1. We paid him in your mind. and/or 2. That's ok. What does &...

Re: Shoe money trial

I myself asked that same question and thought that KU would be fine...this is from Keegan’s article in regards to what happens if they can’t make a direct connection between KU but SDS’s guardian still got paid... “Not necessarily.

Re: Shoe money trial

God Save the Rules. And I really, really wish Bill would just come right out and dare the NCAA to do something. I have a bad feeling that the NCAA is going to do some chickenshit thing like say, "you're playing guys at your own risk, and a previous clearance won't save you if that clearance was...

Re: The 50 Best games of the 2018–19 College Basketball Non-Conference Schedule

I really don't like the timing of the Kentucky game. It feels...unimportant when sandwiched in among the conference games. Maybe "unimportant" is the wrong word. Less important.
