With all these wealthy gots paying their little drug and bucket darlings through ivy league schools, I'd love to see some poor black kid take the entire system for everything.
Basketball like sprinting and football the best place to see the HUGE difference between the black and white athlete.

As a resident North Carolinian I can say Coach K buys players. He's done it for years down here but that's the case with all the big programs in NC ala UNC,NCSU,Wake Forest.
Bud, the NCAA took a direct look at UNC running fraudulent classes for its basketball players FOR TWENTY YEARS and said, "Meh." They ain't touching their cash cows.
Probably nothing. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t get paid. Guys like Coach K and Rick Pitino likely work the same way major college football programs do with using boosters and third parties to do the dirty work. That’s where this whole federal probe with Adidas and the recent allegations about a big Nike scandal come into play. All about plausible deniability and willful ignorance. That was Rick Pitino’s excuse. Find guys you can hire as assistant coach positions and staff support to act as middle men with shoe companies, AAU coaches, and family members so they can be the fall guy when hits the fan. And if Pitino didn’t hump that lady in a Denny’s bathroom years ago, and then again with the pros ute scandal, he probably would have been ok with his last scandal about bribes. Three strikes for ol’ Ricky.
That’s where Will Wade was dumb and made a rookie mistake by handling things himself over the phone. Even if Coach K knew about and authorized dirty deeds, he’ll skate unstained because he put protocols into place so he could remain “clean.” I’m sure Saban is the same way with booster money getting funneled to his blue chippers.
The rule rings true, like Cris Carter told rookie players a few years ago. Get yourself a fall guy.
It is tough to join the party as for example Gonzaga is attempting but CBB is still more wide open than the NBA. Villanova just won 2 outta 3.
UCLA has 1 le since 1995 and yet all that money.
Coaches still rule CBB. There is nothing dirty about being an elite teacher
Coach K ain't no dummy. He's doing degrees of separation so that it doesn't come back to him.
Duke essentially only playing with blacks in the tourney. There's whiter teams to root for, tbh.
He deserves nothing. He's not above the rules. He could've played overseas if he needed to get paid.
Yup. Though Duke has seemed clean by NCAA standards to this point.
You guys are ignoring one big factor - THE RIVALRY
ESPN puts highlights of the DUKE/UNC series on repeat and kids want to be that guy forever carved in highlight stone
How do you explain the downfall of Uconn?
Duke did not pay a dime, boosters who took it upon themselves to purchase Zion's services for a year without Coach K and Duke knowing were the ones who paid Zion.
And Coach K ain't seeing if ya know what I mean.
This is Coach K's best bud.
Nuff said.

Duke's fate if they hadn't paid for Zion. Mikey knows this, too.
Coach K was “sick” for a year or two when he realized his Duke team was going to suck. All those loses didn’t count against his record.
There was a video with all the duke freshmen saying they met during aau and started texting each other. At some point they decided they were all going to team up. I think it was RJ or Cam that decided on Duke and the others followed
Duke gonna get down to the bottom of it.
