Sports agents, unscrupulous coaches, shoe & uniform companies, AAU, handlers, NCAA, etc...just a HUGE mess.:ermm:
Am I off-base here, but it seems to me that everyone in the sports media knew what was going on too. Why have they not broke this open before now? It just appears to me that they, as a group, must have been complicit in this too. Anyone heard of investigative journalism?!
Obviously, it is more an ethical thing for journalists, rather than legal, but still...If they knew stuff, why weren't they reporting it?...Unless they didn't want it to hurt their local/favorite team.
NCAA couldn't clean it up cause they didn't WANT to clean it up. Their big paycheck is the NCAA tournament. They want the Dukies, cats, UNC (usually no classes), Louisville with RickyP in the tourney.
FBI should investigate the NCAA next.
RW from UNC and MK from Duke could assassinate a rival coach in broad daylight, and the NCAA would put out a statement saying they feel the public sentiment against them is too harsh.Exactly what I thought! NCAA has *****footed around for years. If you're a school that brings in big bucks you are protected by them. UNC should be in jail over their scandal but instead they're reigning National Champions! Louisville has been beyond dirty and they did nothing! So glad Pitino and Jurich finally got what they deserved!
I also think the FBI should investigate the NCAA. Lord knows what they'd find!!

quote from the article:
"Wednesday night, Alabama accepted the resignation of mens basketball administrator Kobie Baker after an internal review. Bakers previous job: assistant director of enforcement at the NCAA"
You can't make this stuff up. Of course they put former NCAA enforcement guys on their payroll and OF COURSE nobody says a word about it. And OF COURSE he's corrupt. What a joke.

I think Cal has been on Zoloft since Tuesday night.
Is this the same Rick Pitino who knocked up a mistress and helped her abort their child, then got a slap on the wrist from UL, then a raise and extension? He was always a big Slick Willy supporter too. Makes sense.
