Later, the defense attempted to enter into the record a transcript of a recorded conversation in which then-Adidas consultant Merl Code told Townsend that Williamson’s father was “asking for opportunities from an occupational prospective. He's asking for money in the pocket. And he's asking for housing for him and the family." According to Moore’s reading, Townsend responded, "I've got to just try to work and figure out a way. Because if that's what it takes to get him for 10 months, we're going to have to do it some way."


That, my friend, is a violation of the NCAA's rules and should make Zion ineligible yet no one is even talking about him

Can anyone explain why he is not being suspended right now? Can someone send that information to Alleva?

Pat Forde is going to put a hit on you.

Him and Dickie V will murder you if you don’t take this down

Zion nor his dad are on wire taps

The same way Smart was likely cleared.

Funny you should say that because Zion could murder someone and Vitale would probably claim he should be able to still play for Duke and that it would be great for the game

It will be a cold day in hell before the NCAA get involved with a Duke basketball player let alone Zion Williamson.

The average sports fan has no idea Kansas assistant coach is on tape discussing an offer for Zion. The national sports media doesn't want them to know. They'd rather scapegoat LSU.

Sounds more like the Cam Newton situation.

I’m sure they would act if they had better evidence than this, or if Coach K were stupid enough to be talking directly to a scumbag like Dawkins

Roger how did you like Alleva’s comments after LSU scored their first tournament win in 10 years?

Also I remember that Cam Newton thing being quite a big deal back in 2010

I've posted the screenshot here before.

The guy who was GM at Yahoo News when it became relevant is a Duke alum. This likely is a factor in why Zion isn't talked about with regard to the FBI stuff.

It could also be that no one from duke is on the wire leaks, but that wouldn’t make for a good conspiracy theory

This was an accident that has nothing to do with the current pay to play situation. The fact that you would bring this into the discussion shows your lack of understanding of things in general.
