The report was ridiculous and I don't believe it was true (the chic was like 60). However I totally believe these kind of things happen at schools. Maybe not coaches wives, but hookers That rumor was about Bernie Fine’s wife and was proven to be false. Agreed about teams using sex (strippers/hookers) as recruiting tools. See Louisville and Rick Pitino who had “no idea” that alums were paying for strippers for high profile recruits. I think it’s more wide spread than Louisville, obviously. Seriously? They can’t find some willing co-eds to take one for the team?

There was no “plea,” and never any evidence of Syracuse providing financial incentives to recruits. None. And if you don’t think Kentucky, or an individual on Kentucky’s behalf (WWW) has been paying recruits, you obviously have not been paying attention. It’s all tongue in cheek by now.... as as if you want to claim to be righteous in the college sports mafia system

And I definitely know a lot more than you do as evidenced by your posts in this thread. So you, my friend, can go kick rocks.

With the sniffing around lately I feel like we would have heard something. I WILL be shocked if UK isn't involved in this. We already know about Pitino and I think he is the HOF coach and it will be a let down when everything comes out. I'm thinking Louisville and UK's championships get vacated. It wouldn't surprise me to see UNC involved either. Maybe that is why the NCAA went light on them with their academic scandal? I'm interested to see where this goes but I feel as if it were incredibly explosive details would have leaked not this teaser.

Indeed...SU could be one of the programs involved, but I would also be surprised. Again, they were investigated for several months, allegedly no stone left unturned, and the NCAA found no evidence of paying recruits. Then again, Louisville got popped for paying a recruit WHILE they were on probation for other offenses. The balls! Nothing would shock me at this point.

Gray Beard Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 They’ll punish Syracuse and UConn again. That’s what they did last time and it didn’t effect ratings.

Ah, the good old UNLV days! What a team they had! I think they were all like 26 years old playing in college and they were bought with cash, hookers, and Mercedes S-Classes...but what a team! Greg Anthony, Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon...that crew.

I'd have to imagine these college players get alot of action from fellow students , especially the big name schools. How could they not?

The Poojer Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 I'm more interested in whether they will now announce Syracuse as Runner-Up for the year....it's only fair Just now, Leonhart2017 said: Anyone that won money on these two brackets needs to do the right thing and give it back.

boyst Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Of all the people I have known who have been in the NBA world they say that UNC is one of the dirtiest programs and Dean Smith turned his back on a lot of things. Syracuse has also had its name In the ring as well as Kentucky and Kansas. A former family member was very involved with the NBA on an executive level at one point and still knows many NBA players and coaches
