The worst part....”shuts door”. Then continues with conversation. Need to get dirty lessons from saban. Need boosters to give chargers out like candy.

I'm just going to reference the quotes in the article below the Wade article.

Duke and UNC started all this back in the 80's and these two were the frontrunners. K paid and set up Duhon's family years ago. The whole gist of the article is about Williamson but Duke comes out squeaky clean? Amazing the player mentioned hasn't even signed anywhere and was likely never coming to LSU.


"I really haven't followed it that much," Krzyzewski said about the trial during his team's media day press conference on Monday. "I think it's minute, it's a blip. It's not what's happening. ... We haven't lost guys because someone cheated. I haven't paid attention to it because I haven't been affected by it."
North Carolina's Roy Williams said last week he'd never been asked to pay a recruit and added that he's "not familiar with" the devious underworld of college basketball portrayed at the trial.

Krzyzewski said he "understands" Williams. He also said he's more concerned with grad transfers than cheaters.

quote:

"So you said to me in Atlanta there was a 2019 kid I wanted to recruit, they can get him to LSU, you would have funded," Dawkins told Wade, according to Donnelly.


I've read this about 10 times and I'm not sure wtf this means. Who is "I" and who is "they"?

Doesn't this case revolve around Adidas funneling money to players to go to Adidas schools? We have a contract with Nike.

On its own it's mostly nothing, especially since the recruit is not coming to LSU. What it does is cause the NCAA to look harder at Will Wade and the program. However, they have little to no power to dig up dirt.

They would need someone with intimate knowledge of other recruiting violations where benefits were actually provided to come forward and cooperate. They won't have that so everything is good.

So Zion wanted money and housing. He signed with duke. Are they ignoring that duke gave home what he wanted? Somebody payed him. Don’t tell he signed with duke because of the history and stuff like that. As far as wade, he didn’t get him he offered him to me saying if you come we will give you what you want. Where did he go and start the investigation there and duke.

The shite is just beginning to hit the fan. If universities care about their reputations, they will take drastic action.

Maybe it's time to make college athletics go back to its original mission: Physical Health Education and participation by as many students as possible.

Not this perverted mess of greed and marketing.
