I agree with you.. but I was responding to a point that academics matter when recruiting elite kids. It does not.
Probably why they can’t make it to Final Fours anymore.It's a good thing UK offers History, Final Fours AND all the other stuff you listed, except, of course, "moolah".

I’ve read this like 3 times and I still can’t understand what you’re trying to say.
5 years is a long time to not even have a top 5 team once.4 in the past 10 years isn't so bad.
OK. There's nothing wrong with opinions. BTW, was the record breaking 38-1 2015 FF team not in the last 5 years? 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019....2020 hasn't happened.
What about his I just found on google?
I understand. When UK is mentioned it's a big deal. If they are the headline they're talked about, if they're not the headline(ie this thread), they're talked about. It feeds the ego.
It’s not about the program, it’s about the posters. Always remember that. Winking
You’re one of my favorites. I’m gonna end up calling you one day. Pretty sure I have your number saved somewhere. I will be drunk and it will be unexpected.
Same w/ you, and I'll keep an eye out for a Texas area code. 432?
Only dumbass schools offer money. Get somebody else to pay your players----its cheaper!It's a good thing UK offers History, Final Fours AND all the other stuff you listed, except, of course, "moolah".
Meh...Maybe. I mean, if that common, we'd hear much more. Gilbert Arenas has been out of the league since 2012. But he knows that 2 current Dukies, that got paid? Meh...Ok.
I mean, sure it's not as important. Especially if your an Anthony Davis, Ingram, Zion, MKG, John Wall type of dude. But even then, it's good to have some type of sense. Not every top flight kid makes it. An education would be important ..Get this...For some, academics play a role. Look at Poythtess. Dude was unreal smart. Zeller at IU. No, I don't agree it's more important. But it plays a role. A degree from.Duke can open a ton of doors. Just ask Matt Jones.Winking
Sorry. My wife was saying "we have to go!" while I was typing it, and now my enthusiasm has waned on it.
C'mon, now Jimbo. More titles, wins, All-Americans doesn't play a single role. You're speaking in terms of tradition. Fuc Indiana has same amount of titles as.Duke....All-Americans,.etc, etc..Kids don't give a shit about tradition. They care about getting to.the NBA. And their care is about now . Five years ago...Recent shit. Not shit from the 40's and 50's; Where UK won 4 of their 8 titles. In terms of TODAY'S game. UK doesn't offer anything that Duke cannot. Kids today, they see Duke and UK as square. Side by side. Those kids DGAF about overall wins, titles, winning percentages, etc, etc...To insinuate they do is silly.
Gotcha.
You don't think these guys talk after they leave school? Surely, you are not that gullible.
The last thing Duke, or any other P-5 school wants is to go to court and have investigators crawling up every orifice, and go through disclosure.
Amazing how some posters here cherry pick numbers to try and make a point. 5,10,15,2,1, the 90's, the 2000's, etc. If you can not use the total history, then what is the need for record books?
Well you what they say about opinions and assholes. Everybody has one. RollLaugh
Every blue blood gets a TON of love from ESPN and other major outlets. It’s justified. People want to hear about them because they are the best.
You have it all wrong. You made the accusations. You need to prove what you said.
