College Basketball Thread 2018

Is there a more disingenuous and corrupt college sports conference than the ACC and basketball? Syracuse, where the head coach lacks institutional control. UNC which creates fraudulent courses to cover for the academic inadequacies if it’s players. Duke, which ships it players off to a local college to take watered down classwork. And where players are coached to play dirty and attempt to injure other players. Louisville, importing whores because the not even the local Co-Eds will screw the recruits. Pitt Syracuse Notre Dame Miami Va Tech. That’s ACC basketball?

 

Gus Johnson special @ MSG.

Seton Hall and Kentucky each hit a crazy three at the end of regulation -- Kentucky's from halfcourt at the buzzer -- and we're going to OT.

 

given Mike Krzyzewski's long tenure at Duke, his large salary and shoe company money and other income over time at Duke, its pretty clear that no southern white man has made so much money off the uncompensated labor of black men since the Civil War

 

Rick Barnes for President. That is all.

 

Admiral Schofield for Defense Secretary!

 

There were KU fans who were upset the Jayhawks didn't look good enough in beating Tennessee. No, any win against that team is a very good win.

 

He made a ton of money off uncompensated labor of white guys, too, since for many years Duke was the destination for the top white talent in the country. Bilas, Ferry, Reddick, Allen, Hurley, etc.

I'd say Nick Saban is in the running for that award, too.

 

How are they feeling about squeaking past New Mexico State at home?

 

What's the local college in the Duke reference? Are you referring to the Magic Eligibility of Marvin Bagley? I think that was done online.
At any rate, the whole one-and-done migration to Duke is disturbing.
Syracuse is a corrupt enterprise in which the 70-something coach has run off at least two chancellors.
University-6, propped up for years by Trumpist White Supremacist Pizza and so thoroughly corrupt that it's literally paying recruits in cash eight weeks after being put on probation for hiring hookers, is something out of a Dan Jenkins novel.
The gateway drug was Miami. Once you decide you can take an institution that is under NCAA-related sanction as a part of doing business about half the time, your standards are done.

 

I think the local college is the Duke reference is North Carolina Central. I thought Duke had a cross registration program with North Carolina Central. The program allows Duke basketball players to take classes at NC Central.

 

I think enough came out at the Adidas trial to conclude that the Duke players are compensated. Unless you believe Zion Williamson really went to Duke for "the brotherhood".

 

It is NC Central. And to be fair, I don't think it's basketball-only, and it may not even be Duke-only.
