The NCAA isn't investigating anything right now. They are letting the feds do it. They won't have to spend a dime investing anything. All of the work is being done for them.

Except it wasn't the prosecution who subpoenaed Wade and Miller. It was the defense attorney for the defendant, Dawkins. He is quoted as saying he wants to "pull back the curtain" on the world of college basketball. I imagine that even if Wade is called to testify the prosecution and the judge won't allow it to become a circus that loses sight of the subject matter of the case, which is criminal allegations with respect to Dawkins.

They also stand to lose a lot by interrupting the status quo. They benefit greatly from this corrupt system they have created.

LMAO! This is the best spin on it ive seen to date.

More than the rookie minimum,

"So you said to me ... there was a 2019 kid I wanted to recruit, they can get him to LSU, you would have funded," Dawkins told Wade. "Would you want Balsa?"

Funded? Come on maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

On top of this, the comments were made to Christian Dawkins, a guy in prison for taking money for players?

hahahahahaahaahahqhahahahahaahahahahahahaha.

Bro, its not circumstantial. Those are DIRECT frickING QUOTES FROM WIRE TAPES. That is as concrete as you fricking get. I don't even....


Circumstantial-pointing indirectly toward someone's guilt but not conclusively proving it.

It’s the definition of it asshat. He never once mentioned a dollar amount, a payment, a gift or anything. He talked in vague terms that could mean literally anything without proof that he’s talking about paying him. You need to stop being a fricking pussy man.

There's no question that he's been cheating. At least no question in my opinion.

Why? It's either pay them or lose every year. If you don't do it you're punting basketball as a sport. Sucks but it is what it is

What a laughable standard. You may as well just not support any major college sports programs.

Not really. There's at least a measure of corruption at every major D1 program in multiple sports. Is your issue someone being an "admitted" cheater? Or is it OK if a coach is a cheater and no one knows it?

Saban and Miles more than likely cheated and I would be absolutely shocked if Orgeron wasn't cheating. Mainieri, Torina and Breaux may be as well.

There is a blueprint for handling this type of situation. Handle it the same way Auburn did in the Cam Newton situation. Shamelessly.

You're disgracing this school and our team by convicting our coach on circumstantial evidence without giving him due process. That's the true disgrace.
first off, no one is convicting him. We're just saying that it seems bad, given his quotes, and it may very well lead to serious problems for our basketball program.

And how exactly could this board give Wade "due process?" That's for administrative and legal authorities, not a fan message board.

Good grief.
