Basketball apparel payoff trial

[Gulo Blue]

Lots going on. This twitter feed links to stories.

Jurors were asked about connections to Arizona, Creighton, DePaul, Kansas, LSU, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina State, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Southern California and Texas.

The Louisville one sucks the most for us. Mostly for our coach.

JB should have a title to his name.

In this day and age, it's absolutely incredible for anyone clean to actually win something. He's arguably the best coach in college basketball, period.

Skimming the tweets, I jumped a little before going back and reading this one more closely:


"Bowen Sr. said he was paid $25,000 for his son to play AAU ball one summer with the Michigan Mustangs. Money came from Dawkins and Adidas' Chris Rivers"

 

[Michchamp]

one EASY way to deal with all this...?

Just fucking let kids get paid for their labor already, which goes to make billions of dollars for other people.

That might fix it if they get rid of title 9

um... huh?

Oh yeah, this makes total sense, the issues are totally related

Definitely Title IX. Never realized it until now. Boosters aren't offering women athletes as much money under the table as they offer men.

Well crap!

2. Tai Streets, as a former Michigan football player, is a rep of Wolverines so alleged 5K payment is problem even if it was to play for his AAU team not attend U of M.

Might as well give us the death penalty and start over. I am sure JB is clean. At least I think he is but i am sure the maximum penalty we can get we will.

Probably have to disassociate with Tai Streets...or death penalty. Flip a coin. It's NCAA infraction enforcement.

Mark Emmert is a ohio st and Sec lap dog.

under Title 9, anything one scholarship athlete receives, all athletes must get. If you pay the star point guard on the men's basketball team $50K a year, the girl's volleyball player is entitled to the same.

JB says there is nothing to worry about with his hoops program.

This could help.

In a move that could challenge the NCAA's monopoly on elite talent, the NBA's G League is creating a new venture as an alternative to the one-and-done route for the best American basketball prospects, league president Malcolm Turner told ESPN.

As part of a newly formed "professional path" starting in the summer of 2019, the G League will offer "Select Contracts" worth $125,000 to elite prospects who are at least 18 years old but not yet eligible for the NBA draft. It will target recent or would-be high school graduates who otherwise would have likely spent just one season playing college basketball, enticing them not only with a six-figure salary but also the opportunity to benefit from NBA infrastructure, as well as a bevy of off-court development programs "geared towards facilitating and accelerating their transition to the pro game,"

but what would dook, kentucky, kansas and unc do? I could see unc and possibly kansas designing a program to give a 1 year bachelor's degree (no homework, attendance or exams) - kentucky too but a 4 year degree from kentucky isn't worth much (probably about the equivalent of a law degree from Illinois) so what would a 1 year degree do?
