It’s certainly just hearsay at this point and doesn’t connect duke to the agents. But the dots can be connected. At the very least, they should have been ineligible. FTR, I’d only be surprised if UNC was implicated because we just aren’t landing anyone.I have already said that it would be hard to imagine that there is nothing to this. All you did there was provide the speculations and made assumptions on it. I am certainly not going to say with any certainty that they did not ask for or receive anything. I just think things should play out.
The Zion situation holds more water IMO, but we'll see.
Remember, these guys could be lying but it’s highly doubtful. Lying to the ncaa is one thing. Lying to the Feds is risking a long, long jail sentence. The Feds can also choose to chase the money if they want to (doubt they would) and find out which families got paid.
