NCAA perpetrates its latest scam right out in the open

Time to put the spotlight on these "golden boy" programs, ala UNC, dUKe, etc. to highlight their 'game playing' in the college sports business. They may try to rise above it all and appear above reproach but, their behavior suggests another dirty, corrupt program that continues to undermine the objectives of what is considered a "model of excellence." Time for the NCAA to do its job and be the arbiter of justice for these schools. They won't though, because they care more about money and publicity,
Brutal. Glad to see someone is willing to pull the mask off old rat face.
This has ALWAYS been my main problem with Duke. They bombard the world with holier than thou PR, and use the general academic reputation of the school to cast an air of superiority around their basketball team and the players on that team. It's ALWAYS been a load of BS.
Yeah, Duke probably has recruited more than its fair share of legitimately academically inclined players. That's only natural, given the reputation of the school. But let's stop pretending that their basketball recruits go through the same kind of admissions process as everyone else at that school. I'm pretty sure they had a football coach get ticked off because the basketball team was receiving an unlimited number of "special admissions", while the school administration wasn't giving the same consideration to the football team.
And now they sign not 1, but 2 kids with wildly questionable HS academic histories in the same year? In my mind, that makes them WORSE than everyone else, especially when it seems like a big part of the sell to Bagley was "we can get you eligible" (i.e, we can use our golden boy status to cut corners for you that other schools can't).
Screw them, and screw anyone in the media who continues to hawk the "Duke does everything the right way" BS. Duke is out to win as many games as possible, doing whatever needs to be done to make that happen, just like everyone else.

On my book this is why Cal is the best. He's totally transparent and honest about his goals for his players. A lot of people rail against it but I don't think they really understand his philosophy.
Duke is true white trash. Looks white & clean but is black & dirty as they come
It's kind of shocking seeing an opinion piece so critical of Duke in a NYC newspaper given all the Dookies who populate Wall Street and surrounding environs. This Mushnick fellow, he's got balls.
Great post. K has always been phony, it's just become more obvious because Cal was killing him recruiting. The danglers and apologists still won't admit it though.
Bilas and Vitale won't say nary a word. Cowards.
Man that was brutal. Duke fans have cognitive distortions due to being the media favorites. In reality, most people look at them like cockroach pieces of shit
