Who ever would have thought that recruiters might cheat just a bit.
Whatever the outcome, I predict that University of North Carolina basketball will be exonerated, and their women's badminton team will bear the brunt of the UNC sanctions.
After all that “transgender bathroom” claptrap they pulled last year I hope the FBI shuts the whole thing down
Good to see the FBI focusing on really important matters...
Corruption?
In bassetball?
I’m shocked!...............................That it took so long to uncover it!...........
If you can’t use your influence to squeeze a small fortune out of the apparel companies, what’s the sense of being a coach?
Quite right too. What's wrong with fake students taking fake college courses ? UNC fake college Courses
In all fairness to UNC, they are the only university to ever find a real world use for the black studies department.
I used to teach Into to Econ at a university that often makes the Sweet 16. My first semester there, two basketball players came to my office and asked for the final exam. I told them it wasn’t for two more weeks. They said: “No. We’re here for our copy so we can study it for the final exam.” I refused. Within 60 seconds, one the the full profs in the dept was in my office telling me I had to give the exam to them. I told I didn’t and I wouldn’t. I asked him why I should even consider it, and I got the usual drivel about them being poor underprivileged, blah, blah. blah. I pointed out that, when these two guys didn’t make it in the NBA, they would take their XX university degree and try to get a job and within 14 nanoseconds, the employer would discover they could barely construct a sentence. What does that do for the dozens of XX grads who earned a degree and try to get a job there? His response: crickets. I never had another student athlete in any of my classes.
AG Sessions DOJ - let hillary skate but by God, let’s go after college basketball!!!
Bless his little pointed head.
Yay, FBI. Hooray. (tosses confetti).
Gee. I hope Nike is not involved...didn't they just side with the AntiFlag NFL?
I knew all this sportsball junk had to be corrupt, given the potential of all this corporate money used to buy enough African-descent athletes of a certain body size to play their game.
Whew. I’m sure glad the FBI has everything else in the pipeline covered to drop-down to worry about college sports. /s
Presume nobody had to wake Sessions for an approval /2x-s
Didn't see that one coming.
"2017 was a banner year for the NFL with three times as many arrests as last year.
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3589168/posts
Along with the usual drunk driving and disorderly conduct arrests, there were 7 arrests for assault/battery, 6 for drugs and 5 for domestic violence.
The Seattle Seahawks announced that they weren’t going to “participate in the national anthem” because of the “injustice that has plagued people of color in this country”. While they lost that game, they are one of the top ranked teams in arrests. Alongside the Los Angeles Rams, the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets, all of whom showed some solidarity with the anti-American protests, these top NFL criminal teams have racked up arrests for domestic violence, drugs, DUI and assault and battery.
Is it any wonder they think the justice system is unfair? They’re criminals.
Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall was one of the early players to reject the Anthem. The Broncos supported his actions. As his teams have supported him during nine domestic violence accusations.
Did any of the women he stabbed, punched or choked have any choice about taking a knee?
It’s no wonder that so many of the NFL’s millionaire scumbags are eager to join Colin Kaepernick’s protests against the justice system by degrading our anthem.
It’s because they’re criminals."
In no sport is the willingness to cheat so closely associated with success as in college basketball. It is a shame because the NCAA tournament should be the greatest month of sports in the country.
Jerry Tarkanian said something about the NCAA being so mad at Kentucky they gave Cleveland State an extra year of probation.
How is any of this a “crime”? Yes, the NCAA has rules that allow them to exploit college students, making big money for schools at the expense of the freedom of the players to market themselves.
But how did we get to where the government has laws that HELP the NCAA do this? Why is it a CRIME for a college student to sell their name to a shoe company?
Nothing will happen, unless they don’t know how to play the game.
I mean, they let Penn State keep their football program, what can they do to NC State?
The NCAA is in collusion I think as well. They’ve let this go on for decades.
I am the most uninterested person in the world when it comes to sports. But even I have been aware of this corruption for decades. I think there’ve been TV movies made about it.
Maybe we’ll see a resurgence in baseball considering all that’s out there about basketball and football now.
