AAU Coach Secretly Records Nike Exec's conversations

“Rather than extorting Nike, Avenatti contends he was negotiating a settlement for his then-client and offering to conduct an extensive independent investigation into the conduct of the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) for Nike.”

LOL
 
Wetzel and Thamel always getting the scandalous scoop! Where is the third amigo of the circle jerk, Forde?

A lot of states you can't record without permission. Even to the point that it is a crime.
 
Im tired of hearing about adidas/nike/payments. We all knew this stuff happened before....we all know this stuff will happen after. Most of us know it happens everywhere. Lets move on.

Or we could burn the whole establishment to the ground and then allow it to favor Iowa winning multiple national championships going forward...........

How bout that.
 
Didn’t y’all know Nike was so far ahead in the sneaker game that they didn’t have to pay and players (well except the ones on the aau teams) and that adidas was in bidding Wars with themselves bc they are so desperately trying to catch Nike. That’s what I have read on here at least.

Any team who is paying or having players paid on their behalf should face consequences regardless of the shoe company they are affiliated with. If you think players should be paid, I would tend to agree. But that is not how the rules currently work, and why have rules if you are just going to ignore them? I don't care who has the info, if it can be verified it should be acted on.
 
That guy who recorded the conversations is in california... where its illegal to record conversations without consent from all parties. so I highly doubt the judge allows it in the court... especially when its extortion and blackmail on this lawyer.. not a case against the AAU guy.

Doesn't matter where he's from. What matters is the location of the parties during the recorded conversation. But he was probably in California, and the Nike executives were probably in Oregon, another multi party consent state.

Circus is old. Adidas paid----But Nike did not? Ok. "Nike kids" played for free, all the while, their Adidas buddies got paid thousands?

Sounds reasonable to me.

Time to move on.

Exactly. Kids like AD/Zion went to school for the love of the game instead of taking money from dirty coaches like Bill Self.
 
U really think adidas was the only crooked company lol? How naive you are.
Did I say that? I said that you guys are getting boners just thinking of Nike paying a recruit. When it’s all finished most all schools will likely be implicated but only one got little girls to dance for and **** the recruits and their dad

Not quite. About as much as western or Murray.

I do like it when you guys beat duke and North Carolina though
Your post history begs to differ. Embrace it. In a thread totally unrelated to Louisville, you’ve managed to bring us up twice..Laughing

I simply pointed out that you guys love avanetti. It seems every thread about him comes from a Louisville guy. I bet you like all his tweets too. It’s okay to hope your rival gets caught cheating I guess. I don’t live my life that way but I can see the temptation I suppose

edit. I actually think it bothers you that I don’t hate Louisville as much as schools in our tier. I morph into a Louisville cardinal any time you guys match up against duke North Carolina Indiana Kansas etc

Lol, hrt really triggers you huh? We all love Avenetti? Yikes. I’ll go ahead and refrain from lumping all of you raftards together, seeing that there’s some good UK posters on this board.
 
At your edit:

I wonder if that conversation is as good as the FBI wire tap that had a UL assistant trying buy recruits?

So is Kentucky the only Nike school? Sounds like you are very insecure. Would be nice to watch Duke/UNC get hammered as well. Especially UNC for escaping fraudulent classes.

Don’t let some of your fellow UK fans know you’d root for UL.
Last year when I pulled for Dook to beat UK I was told they I’d NEVER see a UK fan pull for UL over anybody.
