You are misunderstanding ..... We can be clean.. all it takes is for Nike to have paid one of our players to sign with them in the future... or hell even Adidas or another shoe company...and without anyone at UK knowing but that player.... it still will hit us and effect us
This is what makes it bigger than the coach or the schools. Coach K came out in sept when this started . Do you remember what he said?
These kids are corrupted before they even get to us. Eighth graders are treated like kings .
So the Amateur Athletic Union has a lot of ‘splainin to do.
The ncaa is at fault for letting the shoe company’s in the hen house.
Now it should come out that colleges have been playing pro players.
Gloating your coach is clean is moot. We all wondered how he did it but it was growing legs on its own and everyone does it through the shoes. Laundering recruits.
I can’t say why Pitino got his name in it especially while on probation. He must have had a senile moment.
Now the schools are the ones getting scammed as the FBI even said. There’s millions flying around and the schools suffer scholarship costs other students could be getting better educated with. At one point in time this was student athlete competition and the by law’s are written as such.
A unique step would be for a class action lawsuit the schools could serve the shoe companies for fraud and conspiracy that puts them at odds with the NCAA’s by laws regarding protecting amateurism. The schools liability in monetary terms are huge when the penalty axe comes down .
Oh wait . The shoe companies pay employees inside the athletic dept’s salaries.
It’s a frighin mess is what it is.
oh and to think your school was , by a wishing star , one of the few to be lucky to get the clean 5 stars or four stars ??? If it’s hamdked right , our sport needs a paradigm shift.
