I just searched top party schools and neither KU or UK are on the list of the top 25.

The elite players do not care at all that Duke is a better school for academics than Kentucky is. As far as offering things from a basketball perspective, Kentucky is the top of the class. Unless you count getting paid, we are finding out !Sure... and if I recall correctly, nearly every player Duke has landed in the last five years was also recruited by Kentucky, right? Duke has more Top 5 all time recruits than UK, K has twice as many Top 3 picks than Cal and five times as many titles, Duke has more all-time McDonalds All Americans than UK, Duke has more lottery picks all time than UK, Duke has more than twice as many followers on social media than UK, and more people watch Duke than Kentucky on TV...
You realize, just as I do, that there are a million reasons a kid would pick Duke over Kentucky that have nothing to do with getting paid, same as there are a million reasons a kid would pick Kentucky over Duke. You never know what will appeal to a kid, be it future teammates or campuses or facilities or connections with the coaching staff or any number of things.
But I don't think you are one of the Raftards who thinks that the ONLY reason a player would ever pick Duke over Kentucky is because of payments, right?
All of that is great for ANY student-athlete. What, you think basketball players don't care about stuff like that? Of course they do
And yeah, former players know... #TheBrotherhood
The Lawrence/KC area isn't very representative of the rest of the state. Which is why the aggie school down the road doesn't like us. That and the fact that KU has won about 60 of the last 65 basketball games.
Slander is extremely difficult to prove, especially when concerning public entities. The chances of him facing repercussions are minisculely above 0%.
I love your avatar. It always cracks me up on the football board!
Like where this thread is going.
I am from WNC but still go against all the NC ACC schools.
They all cheat.

4, 2, 1, 5. Throw away 3 and 6 and to be honest, I don't know how much use I would be to 2, 1 or 5 after I was done with 4.Snitches get bitches . . . or something like that.
3, 1, 2, 4, 5
Tip o'the hat on the bold statement! Stick around. You'll be welcomed with open arms and clinched teeth.
I went back to count how many women were actually in that picture. Good job.
Great thread.
We all know it’s more than a million at this point
Every basketball player who is halfway decent gets something for attending a certain college.
Schools like Duke and UNC have been doing it for years. Don't know who is more dirtier.
I mean, I wouldn't say no consequences. I mean accusing a University , basketball program, and or a coach...of a federal crime, ain't something to sneeze at. I mean you are probably right. Doubtful this would ever go to court . But, well, I mean, if Duke officials call his ass out...They'd have a gripe; If no proof.
Players talk and compare how much they got in NBA locker rooms.
Arenas didn't get much out of high school. Going to take notice what other players say especially when you are an All Star Guard.
While I could see an occasional one and doner to go to Duke over UK, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Duke is doing something illegal to get so many kids to pick their schools over UK. The proof is in the pudding. Cal prepares these kids much better for the league in their 8 months in college than K.
More players in the NBA? More titles? More All Americans? More wins? Do you want me to keep going?
And I know this because if academics mattered to one and dones than Duke would get all of them and regular public universities wouldn’t get any. Elite players go where they will be most comfortable for one or two years. Not because they want to be future CEOs after two years of undergrad school.
Those same kids don’t care about the 50’s. How many titles since these kids were 10 or 11.
You really think that elite players care about any of that? Maybe the more players in the league thing, but even there the difference is probably minimal. Plus, they know they're getting there regardless of which they choose.
In these athletes' lifetime, Duke has been the most prestigious and successful program.
You asked a question and I answered. Are you going to dispute what I said or can we be done?
So you're saying that before 2015 Duke wasn't, then who was? They would've been . . . what . . . 13 years old? Probably never heard of KAT, Jamal Murray, Booker, AD, Fox, Monk, which means they probably had never even heard of basketball until they were juniors in high school, which would mean that indeed, Duke was the only prestigious school if they only had a 2 year basketball career to that point in their lives. I always thought they started younger than junior year, though.
I just think it’s funny someone would argue academics is more important than putting players in the NBA. This board is comedy sometimes
