    LOL, now I get to say “pay attention.” Those threads are closed. And some made refence to it here.

    When ever, on this site, has a thread never been high jacked. Attention is not a strong suit for about 85% of the population.

    They will if it's Zion, Reddish and Barrett vs Morant, White and Little.

    People watch the college game because of the players. Do you think anyone would give a poop about Carolina Basketball if they had bad players? LOL! Ya right.

    I have mixed thoughts on the whole thing, but even if we took the top 10% of talent out of college basketball, it wouldn't mean all we were left with is bad players. There are too many good college players with no real NBA/professional future to count.

    Again, I do not understand the argument. I believe there are many, many people who watch college basketball and have little to no interest in professional basketball. I think college allegiance is a much higher factor for the interest of the game than the talent level of the players.

    There is theoretically a threshold where if talent in college were depleted enough people would lose interest, but even a full minor league skimming off the top 100 players from each class doesn't get us there (and I don't think we'll ever see the G-League or any competitor draw that many college-aged players).

    Actually, it was the Greenville Greenies (minor league baseball)

    Here is a "Pay the Players" thread which appears to be open. Nothing has been posted there since Oct 2017, but this seems like a good place to continue the discussion.


    As for the latest news from the NCAA, I gave up paying attention to the NCAA investigation/enforcement process after the UNC case. However, is it safe to assume that any school which is notified of allegations in July 2019 will be able to delay the process in a way that prevents the case being resolved before the end of the 2019-20 season?

    yup, it's a fools errand to try to predict what the dolts at the NCAA will do...just a pointless exercise. Will any of these teams use unc's playbook and simply delay, obfuscate, lie and obstruct via an army of lawyers?

    Agreed. I watch some NBA but I care about college basketball. As long as the play is competitive, I don’t care how it stacks up to the NBA. The only thing that would drive me away is if Duke was prevented from being on an even playing field/court...

    Of course they would! Haven't you ever watched sheep being herded? They stick together and go where they're told, bless their hearts.

    But … we have not competed on an even playing field in years, probably decades. After all, Duke imposes some sort of academic standards. That is why I refuse to acknowledge uNC as a rival, and it gripes me no end to hear others talk about the "rivalry".

    In the story that will never end, former Arizona assistant Book Richardson claims he paid a high school coach $40k to fabricate a class on the transcript of Rawlee Alkins so that he would remain eligible. As far as I know, this is a new allegation completely separate from everything else that has previously come out on Arizona from the FBI’s case. At this point you have to wonder what exactly Arizona has to do for the NCAA to take any action. There have been FBI wiretaps of their assistant coach admitting he paid for players, yet nothing. Perhaps they are actually investigating and simply haven’t made anything public, but geez.

    Link

    As an aside, remember during the summer when some NCAA insider claimed that six schools would be receiving notices of allegations by August? Whatever happened with that? So far NC State is the only one we know of.

    Maybe the “insider” was actually Manalishi?

    LOL, I followed the whole Manalishi storyline for months. It provided some great entertainment, but the ending was a disappointment.

    In this case though, it was an actual NCAA official who made this claim, on the record. Here is the link I originally posted back in June. And he said the NOA’s were coming by “early July.” My guess is that the schools involved simply haven’t made it public that they have received them. They are under no obligation to do so, and maybe they don’t want their recruits to bail before practice starts, although anyone can file a FOI request with them.

    If the schools are public universities...

    Now Gilbert Arenas accusing Duke. At least it's men of impeccable character (Avenatti, etc.) that are making the accusations. Supported by Stephen A. Smith:
