Hey - let’s name a court after a long time cheater. I bet that NOT A SINGLE season between 1977 and 1998, he didn’t have at least one player on his team where he didn’t cheat to get that player or keep him.
I am tired of this take when it comes to men's college basketball. Seriously, is it really cheating when you have to do what everyone other winning program was doing to win? Same goes for Will Wade.
You have big brands like Nike, Adidas, etc, etc going to AAU games scouting these kids and trying to persuade them to go to schools that represent their brand and their brands are on the most watched teams.. the "blue bloods" of college basketball.
The NCAA itself biggest payday is the NCAA tournament so even the NCAA has an interest in having the teams that are the most watched teams in the tournament. So if you are a Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, etc.. They can get away with anything. Look at what it took to bring Rick Pitino down. And how many chances he got? And he is still coaching.
So that whole cheating is BS. You think Coach K never "cheated"? Its funny how that whole Zion Williamson situation just went away.

Coach K cheated with the best of them, how much did he pay Grant? Let's just say the name the player and it is very reasonable the amount of money is known.
But do not blame him as Kentucky, North Carolina etc had their money out there as well.
AAU ball was set up to feed the large basketball money schools.
The thing was it also allowed other schools to step on toes and get a foot in the door.
The NCAA was trying hard to protect its cash cow, but the rabbit was out of the hat by 1982 and many schools started to come out of no were with huge recruiting halls.
