They goddamned better do an investigation into Williamson like now. The adidas guy tried to get him 100 large and he ends up at Duke.... Everything is above board over there right?

Im happy we now have a ruling. Im actually quite pro-NCAA. But Kansas has a history of holding kids out when they know (at least publicly know) about possible impermissible benefits. They held Alexander out. Preston out. And now Silvio. Great work by the KU athletic dept on that. I think out penalty wont be near as bad as say Arizona who knows and keeps playing kids (Ayton)
From what we can tell Nike is much better at cheating than Addidas. Kansas cant really even leave Adidas either because Adidas has currently gifted them plausible deniability. If KU decides to jump ship to Puma or Nike - Adidas will turn on KU and dig up dirt that will show they are more knowledgeable and directive in these pay for play.
I'm for the NCAA cleaning up the sport. The NCAA is getting sick of being the punching bag. They dont want these OAD kids but they have no choice but to pick up the pieces when the NBA has made them involuntarily become their no cost minor league system.
Big schools will have more trouble recruiting moving forward but I believe it is all in the best interest of collegiate athletics.
