Not disagreeing with you there, but if you think most of these OAD athletes are in college to get an education, then that's delusional thinking on your part. They should be allowed to play in the NBA, not wasting their time in college.
Or maybe your president doesn't want the NCAA looking into classes that so many OAD players are taking during the few months they are on campus. And before anyone here bashes me, I remember what Zion's class schedule looked like. A lot of these players aren't in college for the academics.
You didn't explain why the father decided to drop the threat of a suit. The writer switches it up by saying the dad was guilty of trying to solicit a payment. Wouldn't that make the father even more eager to sue the paper for libel since he's now been directly implicated?
His father was the one who was threatening to sue. Why would editing the column to say the father was shopping his son around and they now have 3 sources to back it up change anything. Wouldn't that give the dad more ammunition to use in a lawsuit?
“I’ll be honest with you, we recruited Zion,” Calipari said. “I probably missed him a little bit. I knew he was going to be good. I didn’t know he was going to be this good. I knew he could dominate but not like he’s done. When we played against him, I walked off the court and said ‘I missed on...
The Thomas and Zion cases are totally different. If K is dirty then he deserves to be punished. I've read on here Zion's decision came down to Duke and Kentucky. What will you say if Zion admits he was paid or offered benefits by Duke but also Kentucky?
I do find it interesting that Kentucky fans believe their school should follow one set of rules but everyone else should be following a totally different set of rules.
Reading the lawsuit, Zion will now be forced to tell if he accepted or was offered benefits by ANYONE. Should be entertaining.
Those complaints you posted here about the Sun Times article were made on August 4th. The paper put up a new article on August 6th saying it now had 3 separate sources to back up their story.
"Early Friday morning, the Web site published another story by O'Brien that stated "sources from three...
What is the definition of a loan? Why did they call it a "bad loan"? Doesn't this make him an ineligible player, just like posters here claiming Maggette was ineligible? I would like to remind you Maggette wasn't paid to attend Duke either.
A listing that refers to “BAM” for $12,000 is later...
Maggette wasn't paid to go to Duke either but you think Maggette and Duke deserves to be punished because he accepted money from an agent while Bam and Kentucky shouldn't be punished? Don't you think that line of thinking is somewhat hypocritical?
