That is simply not the point.Are none of you familiar with UK basketball in the 70s and 80s? Hell yeah UK boosters were funneling cash to players big time. Are you all that naive? What do you think resulted in the second most harshest punishment handed down by the NCAA of all time?
If we weren’t cheating in the 80’s we weren’t trying!!
Those were the days of basket weaving doctorate courses at UNC!!!
I followed all college sports pretty closely, and knew we and U of L and UT were all cheating, simply from observation and personal connections.
The point that pisses me and many off is that Rex accepted the money - - - and not likely $700K, - - - and is whoring himself and us out at a particularly painful moment.
But the interracial dating angst is pure bullshit. I was on campus in the 80’s, and never heard any complaint about who Rex dated.
No one would have given a rat’s ass as long as he could hit three pointers and win games.
He is just making us out to be rubes . . . and to get attention from the coastal folk and talking heads who otherwise might forget his name.
I predicted three years ago that NIL would produce “Latter Day Saints” from weak-minded, self-centered, used up jocks, who would want to brag about the swag and cash they got under the table.
Those who make a game of spilling the beans from 40 years ago were selfish, law-breaking bastards when they took the money, and are now ingrates to brag about their ancient haul simply to gain current attention.
