That limb your standing on is about to break, might want to head for something more sturdy.

I don't really follow basketball and I don't even remember what he got in trouble for, but I'm certain I never proclaimed his innocence.

Death Penalty.

Why does college basketball have to be this way? School pride? The spirit of competition? Profit? We already have a pro league and a dev league.

it is kind of like hearing KU homers saying "so, what is the big deal?"

Why do laborers who generate massive profits for their "employers" think they deserve a tiny fraction of what they produce?


Gosh. It's a real mystery.

Apples and Oranges...what is a KU tution, housing and meals program worth?

no, no its not the same thing

:D ok

Not enough evidence for a court conviction, but might be enough for the NCAA. Of course the NCAA has been losing power for a while now and their punishments have been held way back. I think they are afraid of upsetting the blue bloods in basketball and football.

It's essentially worthless.

For the best players - the ones we are talking about here - it's far far less than their actual free market value.

For the poopy ones, the scrubs who sit at the end of KU's bench, it's still worthless (from the University perspective) since they're giving out free education instead of dollars. It costs them nothing to add a few students to the classrooms. The cost of food is about all they're out.

Their envy makes it so. Facts be damned.

Money.

And it isn’t just basketball. Football and baseball are the same way. It’s just basketball is far more convoluted with AAU, which is a joke.

Depends on what degree you end up with.

To their credit, I don't think any KU fans are saying "Our program's not dirty." They seem to be saying that they are just dirty because they need to be dirty in order to compete with other top programs.
