Court proceedings Friday forcing Vitale to deal with reality of college basketball
Posted on 8/17/19 at 8:51 am

Vitale’s twitter
“This college basketball sleazy soap opera keeps getting more intense ! @Mark_Schlabach Filings suggest Nike paid in pursuit of players -“
LINK
Yahoo story
“Text messages and emails from Nike executives entered in federal court on Friday paint a vivid portrait of the inner workings of grassroots basketball.
They include detailed plans to pay then-high school stars such as Zion Williamson and Romeo Langford, line-item accounting of alleged payments to the people around eventual No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton, and an acknowledgement by a top Nike executive that “the perception and resulting reality is that we dictate where players go to school.”

Why is Yahoo not all over this 
For the same reason, Dickie V will not say a word. We’re talking Kentucky and Duke here everybody.

LOL - that’s not how it showed up on my phone. All I initially received was article text. My bad. Yahoo can still suck it.

Now that Zion can be more linked to New Orleans than Duke, watch the POS turn on him fast.

Will this finally crash the blue bloods and their holier than thou coaches?
Nike pretty much is admitting that it is paying players to attend schools that wear their brand.

So that crazy porn lawyer has been vindicated

I hope the PMAC crowd Tiger Bait’s the shite out of Vitale if he ever has the balls to call a game in Baton Rouge again.
Nothing will beat his reaction when Off The Bench told him people were calling him a hypocrite and he lost his shite as if it wasn’t 110% true.
Hang it up by the balls, Dick.

Kt is sounds like Nike is the bagman for teams like Duke and Kentucky. They pay the players to go to certain schools. Smaller schools and the non blood bloods never stood a chance in recruitment.

Not quite. He’s been charged with blackmailing Nike with information that they were paying players. Whether they actually were or not isn’t relevant to his charge. The fact that he’s trumpeting this like it vindicates him is just a sleight of hand.

Doubt he’s off the hook but I think a lot of us suspected he knew something

As the MUH Russia Mueller investigation into the 2016 election was just a distraction of the real spying crimes committed by the Obama administration are the Vitale Will Wade accusations to distract from the real NCAA violations by Duke and Kentucky blue bloods.

Wow, that dude is truly a piece of shite for even thinking that after what he said about LSU, Arizona, etc. I don't do Twitter, but I'm glad to see people are bringing it up. That's one hypocritical POS.

I fricking hate Nike. I hope the damn company is destroyed.
And frick that slobbering creep Vitale.
