Duke will apply the Lance Thomas freeze defense. No one talks and this will just go away.
You think a few message board posters boycotting their articles is going to put them out of business?Copy and paste, don’t give those douchetards clicks OP.

so true,Duke will apply the Lance Thomas freeze defense. No one talks and this will just go away.
What's to investigate really, seems pretty simple. There is a taped conversation which says this guy's "representative/handler/whatever" is asking for illegal benefits. Per Cecil Newton rule, that makes ZW ineligible. Period.
Loophole of “the athlete didn’t know” was closed. No way he should suit up for them but we know he will. The NCAA has no balls to stand up to dUKe
But it doesn't take much to investigate where his family current lives and where they used to live before he got to Duke. If they are indeed living in a swank neighborhood along with testimony he was "up for sale"....then that is more than enough to punish. But like most...not holding my breath.I think the problem here is that there's no proof that Zion's stepfather asked for anything... at least that's what the NCAA would say.
That's why there needs to be an investigation...to try to find that proof. Will the be an investigation is the question..
Like Mike White said, “every athlete every summer has been thoroughly vetted,” ie the NCAA let us get away with this same shit last year with Bagley and his family now there’s just a silly wiretap recording.
Who cares if Zion plays we are going to beat Duke like a rented mule. Duke will be screaming NO MAS, NO MAS.I think the problem here is that there's no proof that Zion's stepfather asked for anything... at least that's what the NCAA would say.

I think that's the best we can hope for...an investigation that forces Duke to sit Zion or risk vacating games a la Billy Preston. Duke won't get punished, but it may be that they are without their best player for some games.
Probably wishful thinking on my part.
Lance Thomas ?Duke will apply the Lance Stephenson freeze defense. No one talks and this will just go away.
Yep. If you were the NCAA who would you believe? Some silly FBI wiretapped conversations and sworn testimony, or Mike White's word that Puke's internal vetting showed everyone was eligible? Of course Duke is more trustworthy than evidence, everyone knows that.

zeit·geist
/ˈtsītˌɡīst,ˈzītˌɡīst/
noun
the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.
Word of the day. All of you that are cock-sure Duke and Kansas are gong to get off scot free...that’s fear, and disgust, and honestly a deserved lack of faith in the NCAA. But I’m telling you, we are in the middle of a cultural moment. Politics, sports, all of it. The idea that elites should somehow get away with something others would not, doesn’t match the zeitgeist of this era. Plus the NCAA genuinely fears extinction, coming out of this my bet is it will correctly understand it’s under a microscope and that it has something to prove. Letting either Duke or KU “get away” with something just won’t do. I think KU is in real danger, and Duke is in some trouble too.....
That’s ok. Typical pretentious Duke first name like Grayson.Oops...i will fix it. Too many Lances.
You don't see the difference? He named us with no actual contact with anybody from UK. Self actually texted with these people.If a shady shoe guy talking to someone at Kansas constitutes proof then we're in trouble too because they named us in a text with Self.
Let's wait and see what else comes out.

Is it enough to launch an investigation into Duke?This is a conversation with an assistant. The bag man himself named us in a text to Self.
If we're believing the texts of crooks and cheaters let's go see what Rick Pitino thinks while we're at it.
I'm not saying Zion is clean. I'm saying I'm going to need more than a text from a scumbag before I start crying about how the NCAA never punishes Duke and saying it's cut and dry that Zion should be ineligible or that it's exactly like the Cam Newton situation.
But nobody reads anymore. Just take the headline and get real mad in whatever direction it takes you. Everyone make sure you vote in two weeks.
