Don't worry Corey, you know Nike is neck deep in this crap too, it's just a matter of how much "damage" will be done to college basketball. Calipari was filthy at Memphis... no reason to think he's changed. And his team is FULL of AAU players. As if NONE of them ever got anything...
Yeah, the AAU is pervasive and by all accounts has been abused and abusive for a long time in the basketball world.
ND <t>I hope somehow this gets rid of the one and done crap that has ruined college basketball for me.</t>
here's the thing.. Football has always been a 'tiger by the tail' situation for the NCAA in which they barely have control. Basketball is a huge pay day for the NCAA and I still contend/suspect that they've looked the other way and it took someone like the NCAA to kick in the door there. I suspect this will get really ugly and especially because the NCAA doesn't control the narrative/timeline in this investigation.
Speaking of Cesspools....Lavar Ball has pulled his last kid out of Chino Hills HS because he doesn't like the coach. He's going to home school him. I guess UCLA no longer requires book work to get in, just be a baller! http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20898447/lavar-ball-homeschooling-lamelo-no-distractions
One of Arizona's 5 star recruits has hired a lawyer, Jahvon Quinerly. I would say it's highly unlikely this kid or any of these kids will ever play in college. I have read also that the FBI has more coming this week. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2737438-5-star-arizona-commit-jahvon-quinerly-hires-lawyer-amid-fbi-probe
