Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

Let’s face it. College basketball (and football has the same problem to a different degree) is a cesspool of iniquity.

From brand sponsorship, to the whole AAU mess, to bidding wars, to apparel companies. It’s absolutely driven by money.

That’s why I don’t hate the purpose of the whole FBI investigation. College basketball needs massive cleanup.

NCAA rules are antiquated and are a charade that attempts to hold universities to a higher standard than any of its major money making member institutions choose to abide by. And to make matters worse, you have clown AD’s like Alleva who buy into that notion even though they know they are guilty for the sake of public perception. Combine this by unrealistic expectations that fans and media expect from coaches to win now, and this is what you get. Hands in the cookie jar.

If the allegations are true, I don’t fault Wade for doing what it actually takes to be successful..considering the incredible number of instances where other programs have done the same and have gone unpunished.

College athletics as a whole needs reform. Nobody is playing by any one set of rules. Money talks...because that’s what everybody has made the game today to be.

We need to let go of the notion that there is any integrity whatsoever in college sports. It is a business. Pure and simple.
