About 25 years ago John Brady and Butch Pierre recruited PG Chris Duhon very hard in an attempt to team him with his former Slidell rival Torris Bright and form the most dynamic backcourt in college basketball. Despite those efforts Duhon signed with the "virtuous " Coach K. Just like that Momma Duhon was suddenly a resident of Durham, N C residing in a nice house and suddenly earning a nice paycheck. The Dick Vitales and Bill Raffertys sang the songs of what a high character Coach K was, the kind tthat every high school kid should strive to play for. They gushed the same over the next 20 years for Cal and his band of wealthy one and dones. Wade came along and challenged their world order while the ;ong time scoff laws scoffed at him challenging their private playpen. frick T E NCAA AND THEIR BAND OF GESTAPO BASTARDS,

So because a legendary coach uses unnamed sources to prop up this “everybody does it” hearsay, it must be God’s truth?

Again I must ask…why do we have rules at all?

Coach K was t clean either. No way Zion passes up 300k from Kansas to play at Duke for free.

K didn’t take after his mentor Knight when it came to paying players. He was paying as much or more than anyone for players for 30+ years. Scheyer is doing the same thing with their wealth of alumni to draw from. Cal, Self, Roy Williams, Mark Few all did the same. It’s a dirty game and they all played it at the highest level.

Basketball has always been a cesspool. That sport literally sold its soul to the shoe companies decades ago. Long been the case that shoes decide where kids go to school. That same playbook is being used in football now. Apparel companies are 2nd only to TV in money spent on college sports.

MBB has always been dirty. NCAA doesn't investigate it, knew it all along, but every once in awhile they have to look like they are doing something.

Wade's mistake was not hiding it better than he did.

They basically target those that don’t lick and worship the ncaa boots in public.

Daddy Dale got slapped around because he called them Nazis and took shots at them.

Anyone that wants to act like college basketball has ever been clean is a retard. So all the antiwade people fit into that

That’s exactly right! When Wade got caught it was the chance to get all heat off of the ACC. It was then easier for the NCAA to turn the cheek. In the end it was all BS and Woodward was a bitch.

John Wooden?

Paying for basketball players goes all the way back to Adolph Rupp and Kentucky.

Arizona and Kansas fought for their head coach when the FBI "scandal" came. LSU didn't. Or probably couldn't because Woodward arranged for basketball to be the fall guy to spare the football charges.
Self is still at Kansas. Miller is doing just fine at Texas.

It's just laughable how miserable human beings like Vitale, Forde and Bilas look the other way and then pounce on someone like Wade, the then-newcomer.

We have rules that are SELECTIVELY ENFORCED to make RETARDS like you who deny reality feel better about things.

I have to believe that you aren't this naive about the real world, and that you and the other WDS idiots are just being intentionally obtuse.

But then again, every post you make just screams "No, I'm THAT FLUCKING stupid."

I couldn't stand Knight growing up due to the rivalry he had with Dale and LSU.

But I always leaned toward thinking he might be the one "clean" coach out there.

I have one major problem thinking that though:

How in the world did he get dirt poor Isiah Thomas out of Chicago without paying him? EVERYBODY wanted Isiah to play for them, but he went to IU for free?

Paying players goes back to John Wooden and even before.
One on One starring Robby Benson, Annette O'Toole, and G.D. Spradlin came out in 1977.
