Couldn’t find another thread to bump and don’t want to litter other threads with this stuff.

Curious what people think will be the ultimate outcome of all these testimonies. Bowen Sr is supposed to take the stand today.

With the way Louisville is recruiting and the way they were able to get a good coach, I gotta think the schools involved all feel pretty good that nothing is really gonna happen as far as the ncaa is concerned
 
My slightly "woke" belief of what the final outcome will be is that only pawns and players will be punished, not the people at fault.

Gonna be a lot of forfeited games and slaps on the wrist. I could see Louisville getting like a 1 yr postseason ban which they may have imposed on themself last year can’t remember. Will be interesting when all the testimony comes out saw that fat Duke child Zion Williamson brought up maybe he’ll be ineligible.

Looks good for Bruce and the boogs so far but guess the Person case will happen later.
 
Will be interesting to see what all comes out and what kind of evidence is provided to back up the claims. The stuff about Colin Sexton is interesting if true. Curious how much other “new” info will come out.

Where's the OT, OP? Thread title looks like one of those spambot offerings. You're better than that.

Some pretty juicy stuff today. Dan Wetzel must be in the courtroom or something seems to have all the deets.

I know he was ineligible, but it's kind of nuts that the guy that got paid the most wasn't even drafted. Makes some of the other payments looks like total bargains. But it's also possible, as I don't know their financial background, taht the Bowen's needed it the most and tried to milk it harder than some others.
 
I don't think a flipping thing will happen to anyone. Too widespread. And the NCAA doesn't want to get into it. Just like the North Carolina scandal.

Am I wrong or has this whole trial been focused on just nike and adidas schools? Not worried about Bruce in all this but it'd be pretty sweet if someone put a black eye on coach K's legacy

Yeah, this isn't about us and we were not a team brought up during jury selection
 


Would be so amazing and the ultimate troll of the big blue bloods of Cbb went down and Bruce Pearl built a squad to stand on top of the ashes

Some interesting tidbits about The Toupee and Kansas came to light, yesterday. Not that the NCAA will do anything about it. The non-handling of the UNC academic fraud scandal by the NCAA makes me think so.

Yeah. Can’t see the ncaa ruining its greatest money maker in the Tourney but some of this is getting too hard to ignore

I agree. I think the NCAA needs to either crucify Louisville, Kansas, Arizona, and others, or just come out and say that anything goes.

Way more exposure in big time college b-ball which would lead to bigger first endorsement deals. There’s still way more value in playing at Duke/UK/Kansas etc for a year than getting that 125k

Very interesting. I will say this, if you can enter the draft after playing in the devlopmental league this way, then I could see how it would be more beneficial. You're going to be playing against better talent plus you're going to be legally paid and don't have to deal with the silly NCAA. Guarantee some studs choose this option.

I still think there's just tons more value playing one year of college hoops. Take a guy like Trae Young last year. Dude put on a show raining threes and became must see tv and the most talked about college athlete of the year. All that exposure and hype got him drafted in the lottery and landed him big endorsement deals.

I just can't see something like that happening if he went to the g league. No one would care if some dude made 10 3s in the g league. No one would see it either since it wouldn't be on tv. And to top it off either, going straight to the g league decreases their influence/fan base/following. Think about how many AU fans are Panthers fans because of Cam Newton. Or how many UF fans follow'd Tebow around the league. A loyal fanbase of college educated (people with money!) is so important to brands looking to endorse athletes.

IDK and I could be totally wrong. But I ultimately think this will wind up being pretty moot. All the shoe companies will still be pushing these kids to go to school too.

Hard to imagine he survives this one but seems that Arizona guy came out fine so who knows
 
I’m leaning more towards a post season probation and maybe a scholly loss. Having a hard time seeing him getting fired in this current climate

Now leaning towards fired

Pretty damning stuff. I hope they fight it and just make a mockery of NCAA athletics. Wonder if the selection committee would consider just not inviting them to the tourney at this point.

Will Wade is a douche but it’s like everyone knows all the elite teens are paid for. Would love the transcripts of his convo with Naz Reid’s handler.
