When he actually testifies, let me know. We are a long way from that.

He's got high powered lawyers whose job it is to work that out.

Stick to sucking off coach 0. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

An offer for him to come in and compete for a starting position, to choose his academic path and get the best support possible. Unless there are details about $$$$ this is all BS.
ok, but would you have the same opinion if this was about the coach at Alabama or Florida? Or would you be screaming that they're cheaters?

What a damn mess

we finally get a great coach and they immediately try to get to LSU....

coincidence ?

I am upset because I know all the big dogs cheat to get the one and dones...

a lot of the kids come from poor backgrounds, they need money to live and eat, it's a simply reality of American demographics...

a full ride doesn't really include all the expenses....

it's a problem


the real problem is the NCAA making literal BILLIONS of dollars on backs of world class athletes and not allowing them to be fairly compensated

$50K in annual scholarship costs is not the market value for athletes of a certain caliber. The NCAA is illegally suppressing real wages by not allowing universities to negotiate in good faith.

Plenty of unsuccessful investigations too.

Dawkins is obviously going scorched earth in his defense, so don't you think if he had the smoking gun phone call we would have heard about it by now?

I suspect there's a bunch of vague "offers" on these phone calls, but nothing conclusive.

Now, the question is, is there other evidence of money changing hands? If so, Wade is screwed. If not, I don't see how anything we know was said on the phone calls to this point is conclusive evidence that a violation occurred.

Conspiracy to commit doesn't require an actual crime. Just the discussing of a crime.

Yep, I figure this will cost Wade the job here.

College basketball is just filthy.

It’s always suspicious to me when an okay program all of a sudden starts getting better recruits and all of a sudden becomes a top-10 caliber team.

I’ve been suspicious of Clemson Football ever since they became juggernauts. Clemson was a nobody for a hundred years and all of a sudden they’re a college football dynasty.

Agreed with this. Don't think the elites haven't been dropping little nuggets to out Wade.

That may be good for the FBI, but does the ncaa need that level of certainty to drop the hammer?

Yep, fair enough.

Just noting that there is no reason to dismiss this because there aren't specifics. There is a very strong starting point here.

All these top programs cheat. ALL OF THEM.

But officials look the other way when they are snooping around Duke, UK, KU, UNC, et al.
