This Week's Trap...

Big difference between Kanter and Newton: There is evidence that Kanter actually received money. If they reinstate Kanter based on the argument that he didn't know his eligibility would be screwed up, which is what the ESPN article says this is about, then the NCAA will open the door for kids to get paid and then just say they didn't know it was a problem.

I do agree, though, that the Newtons look a lot more culpable than the Kanters.

It's a violation to simply solicit the money. Kanter was a minor. He never signed any contract. How can we say he knew about the money? Are we going to make the distinction that Doctor Kanter was a better negotiator than Reverend Newton? The NCAA brought this all on themselves with their idiotic ruling this week. They're going to get skewered either way they go now and they deserve it.

How many NCAAT teams do you figure the ACC has this season?

They'll get their share. I'll go with 5. Six is a possibility. The team I think will be worlds better come March than they are now is Maryland. I really, really like the quality of their young talent.

I know this has nothing to do with this year, but, in terms of the future, they have no size going forward other than Williams. They have a ton of young guards but no bigs. Their future may be Baru or bust.

I doubt they will be able to prove he did not know he was getting paid. I think the argument is that he did not know this sum of money would be a problem for the NCAA. That would be in line with what UK has argued from the beginning. I agree with everything you have said about the NCAA deserving to get skewered.

I hope the ncaa gets investigated. there seems to be more crooks in it than in afganistan.

They've already set a precedent in ruling Cam eligible. They've basically said “as long as the student athlete doesn't or claims he doesn't know, someone can solicit money on their behalf“ Seems to me the NCAA has gone down a slippery slope with their ruling.

Maybe, but through 56 FTs he's shooting about 41%. Yikes. Even Shaq is at 53% on his career. He's rebounding numbers have gone down with more PT which is a little weird too. There is still time I suppose.

Pankey will help when he gets healthy, too.

Didn't Enes Kanter actually turn down money over in Europe for the specific reason that he would be eligible to play here if he did?

I was hoping Orin Hatch would take them down but now Utah is in the PAC ??.

Yes and no. They might not be done. The investigation I'd still open, no? Is this ruling an " at this time we don't know he's not eligible" ruling just to get through the championship games?

You see where it says "More" up at the top right hand corner?

It's a dropdown menu. From there, click blog, and it will take you right to it.
