But where did he get the fork he used to eat the cake? If he doesn't have receipts the NCAA should burn Duke to the ground. Only way Duke gets out of this is to have UNC speak on their behalf to the NCAA.
Yep, just ask Hillary.
Duke already knows all they have to do is give the silent treatment. Take the Maggette and Thomas situations. Nobody talks and the NCAA has no leverage to do anything. It's not like they have the authority to make people talk from a legal standpoint, they can only go on information they have. No talk = no punishment. Piggie refused to cooperate and he ended up spending time in federal prison for all the players he was paying. Maggette later admitted to it, after the fact. Lance Thomas nor the jeweler would cooperate in the investigation, so it was dismissed. Then again, I am sure plenty of college kids have $30K cash to put down on jewelry and get another $70K "loaned" to them when they ain't got no job and no income whatsoever. I strayed from the convo a bit there, didn't I? Laughing
Yeah, for once, UK fans are following Duke's lead.
Basically. The only way any of this ledger/spreadsheet stuff equates to anything in regard to NCAA violations would be if the phone tap conversations are released and they directly implicate coaches. As of now it's nothing more than names on paper and relationships between players/parents and agents. Pretty easy to pull the "we had no idea" excuse on that.
That's because no one shows up.Jim Boeheim doesn't have to ask Syracuse fans, tho
Jim Boeheim is so old all he hears is silence in a crowd of 25K+ anyway.Jim Boeheim doesn't have to ask Syracuse fans, tho
Records suggest otherwise.
Oh yeah, Piggie was paying errrrrbody!! I think he ended up going back to prison after that whole debacle for stealing cases of frozen chicken. Guess times were tough. RollLaugh
Just curious, could Duke sell out a 24k arena most games? Would the fans make the trip down from Jersey?
More like CNN. As soon as I saw the Yahoo article by Forde and Thamel I instantly wondered who actually typed out the article, because you know those two were busy stroking each other off.
Everyone worth watching was either fired, retired, or died. Then they retain people like Jemelle Hill, that's what's wrong. The only one worth a damn on the entire network is SVP. I would really like to hear how they justify employing Bill Walton. I think he's hilarious to listen to because dude is out to lunch.
I haven't noticed. Today's news certainly doesn't sound very scathing to me. It's not like we're talking about staffers paying for sex parties and pay-for-play stuff. At least nothing that has been released yet indicates that. So far we know about a few scandalous shoe company execs and former agents that were doing everything they could to get players to sign with them, that's about it.
