Marvin Bagley’s dad escorted out of Atlanta EYBL games Saturday?
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Remember when Duke/ Nike bought the Bagleys a $1 million dollar home?
That ref will be unemployed by tomorrow afternoon. Doesn't he know Dukies are untouchable?
But no unlimited amount of Nike money could get Bagely to play defense.

Dude this literally has me LOL. #classic
In all seriousness. Isn't it absolutely comical how the NCAA is gonna sweep this under the rug and probably throw the hammer down on NCSU? Have you heard a single word from the national media regarding K's players recieving million dollar homes ontop of the insanely unlimited amount of impermissible benefits his players have always gotten over the years? If Cal had a player with that story reported on him ESPN and the entire media undoubtedly would make that the biggest headline for a month straight and wouldnt stop making a mockery of the NCAA until they destroyed our program.
But since it's Duke, nothing to see here guys. And it's not even like sneaky, they don't try to cover it up they cheat in the most blatant way possible but it's coach k they can't soil his name. Modern day John Wooden as far as how untouchable he is. Capel has been K's Sam Gilbert for awhile but even before Capel and now after Capel nothing will change.
The NCAA will continue to turn a blind eye then pretend they care so much about the integrity and ethics of the game all while praising and making a god out of a guy who is every bit as dirty as Self, and almost as dirty as Roy. The only coach who is worse than these guys besides maybe Roy is pitino. It's a neck to neck race between who's a dirter coach between rick and Roy. Self and K make good arguments for that third place spot though, along with Izzo.

Definitely a duke parent. The most entitled culture going today. They just produce one after another. I wonder what the common denominator has been all these years?
I have to say, Calipari has really done a great job getting players that also seem to be way above average good kids. They are all young so all will do dumb things at times but these kids have generally handled themselves with insane maturity all considering the pressures of playing at UK. And for the most part, parents have been pretty undercontrol. Only seems like a few players have parents "too" involved. I kind of think that was part of the issue this year with Vanderbilt and/or Washington. But at least outsiders would have no knowledge of any of that as only us "geeks" pay that much attention. Not like they are calling playing at UK like slavery, getting escorted out of kids games, or talking to the media about my kids PT...
Another one of those things that Calipari doesn't get any credit for, especially when you look at issues at other schools like Kansas, IU, UofL, etc.

So a guy who consistently fields the worst team at the EYBL, who actually only got in last year because they had Bagley on the roster and were given an exemption, was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by Nike to organize and run a team?
Well that's an above board investment scenario if ever I've seen one.

Mom and pops already have a - literal - million $$ home thanks to Duke/ Nike so Marvin ain’t gotta worry about that with his first contract $$
Whatever happened to Bagley's old man, or Bagley for that matter, for receiving millions from Duke/Nike for their new home, Bagley's school tuition, and paying off their bankruptcy? Is this the Duke way? Similar to UNCheats? Swept under the rug again? It must suck to be NC State.
