Does this mean some teams will have to play white boys?

I would like to see them investigate the corrupt officiating for Duke. I’m pretty sure you either cheat for Duke or you aren’t allowed to officiate in the Acc. It’s too blatant for something not to be going on.

It will take a while to get the stench of that sleazy Pitino off the Louisville program.

Maybe so but the biggest offender is unc. They are absolutely dirty and have been for some time.

I think this is the type of scandal that could be the equivalent of the 1951 point-shaving scandal that took down New York City area colleges but on a national scale. It may be big enough that the NCAA may have to consider ending the 2018-2019 college basketball season as all the colleges and especially the shoe companies and the AAU "clean up their act."

I’m not sure the worst of what they did, but maybe some of these resources could have been used to follow up on, say, people that threaten to shooting schools.

Why doesn’t anyone ever pay a coach to beat the spread?

Hah, I was just thinking that if anybody goes down it should be UNC.

That was the first name that came to my mind. Louisville, Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgetown, Villanova, Pitt, Florida, Syracuse, UConn, SMU, maybe Duke, maybe Michigan State. Dickie Vitale sucks up to all these programs with the exception of SMU; but hey, it's SMU. There are only two top programs that would be a huge shock to me; Gonzaga and Wichita State.

They should be looking at officials, too. Gonzaga got hosed in the NCAA Championship game on 2-3 calls at the end of the game.

I’d be shocked if Calhoun is not on the list.

Duke runs a basketball camp under the umbrella of a university. Does anyone truly think the top high school basketball players come even close to the Duke admission standards or seriously take courses toward a degree? I feel sure these players meets NCAA academic requirements, barely.
