    Kansas and N.C. State newly named in Basketball Scandal

    You obviously don’t understand what money laundering is

    Kansas and N.C. State newly named in Basketball Scandal

    The basketball program won with Nike and with Adidas and would win without any contract at all. The reason KU entered the Adidas contract was because Adidas offered to equip every sport. Nike would not. The contract does help those other sports compete but more essentially it keeps them around...

    Kansas and N.C. State newly named in Basketball Scandal

    It was not Josh Jackson. The first KU player referenced in the indictment was Billy Preston. He never played a game at KU. The second player was Silvio DeSousa. The NCAA is not going to do anything to the schools or coaches without proof that they were involved. I can pretty much guarantee you...

    Kansas and N.C. State newly named in Basketball Scandal

    That is a stupid argument. First, people do the same things now. The good old days weren't actually so good. Second, you know KU is a state school and a not for profit university, don't you? The money that comes from Adidas goes back into sports programs, scholarships, salaries for all sorts of...

    Adidas isn't the criminal. It was an employee of Adidas.

    UA and Nike aren't under a general investigation. They are involved in this investigation. In fact, UA is the company that allegedly paid money to DeSousa's guardian to influence him to go to Maryland. Nike paid Marvin Bagley's family significant amounts. Under your theory, I guess every school...

    Kansas and N.C. State newly named in Basketball Scandal

    Except the state of Kansas is in the same budget situation that Oklahoma is in. KU's football program makes no money. Adidas provides uniforms, shoes, equipment, practice gear, etc. to every KU sport along with cash to the university. The deal is worth $191 million over 14 years. So, I guess...

    Nike and Under Armour are both under investigation as well. Would it be unethical to sign a new contract with a company that is under investigation? I guess you are suggesting everyone should sign with New Balance or Converse?

    The only nerves I have on this is whether DeSousa will get to play next year. Preston didn’t play and the FBI specifically said the payments were concealed from KU. Plus, Duke and UNC are involved as well and the NCAA isn’t going to do anything to them.

    I don’t think it is any different than any other business that has a rogue employee. If the employee is fired and the issue is in theory resolved, then it isn’t necessarily a problem to continue the relationship.

    So you think Nike and Under Armour aren't doing the same thing?

    Kansas and N.C. State newly named in Basketball Scandal

    Considering NCAA cleared Marvin Bagley, Wendell Carter and Miles Bridges, I'm not too worried about it.

    Kansas and N.C. State newly named in Basketball Scandal

    Josh Jackson was already on campus as of Nov. 2016. It was not him. The first player is Billy Preston who never played a minute for KU. The second player is almost certainly Silvio DeSousa. Fortunately for KU, FBI states the Adidas rep intentionally concealed the payments from the university.

    All time MVP for Tulsa (it's time again)....

    Without Paul Pressey, I don't know that Nolan gets the TU job. That means none of the excitement of the early 80's, don't beat UNC, no Steve Harris, no Ricky Ross. That could mean Tubby Smith and Bill Self never become interested in the TU job. It is easy to see how the great successes of the...
