    I'm sure there were plenty of kids who went to classes but never played basketball. It cuts both ways.

    It's stuff like this that makes you wonder why they even have the college requirement (making money, obviously), and Silver wants to add another year to that?

    lol. This stuff isn't shocking any more. I'd be more shocked if the NCAA actually cared about anything other than money. Fucking stupid corrupt shit.

    Basketball is so corrupt now. Back in the 50s players got their degrees the old-fashioned way, they eahhned it. And home teams didn't accidentally turn up the gym heat during the Finals.

    I remember 'The Dirty' had a little gem about Oden never going to class and when he did he was mostly sleeping.

    Not one word in the media about how the accident flipped the game 20 points once LeBron couldn't play. Just more anti-LeBron articles about his body failing him. Silver wouldn't dream of fining the Spurs millions for stealing a win.

    Back in the 60s and 70s when the Celtics kept pulling this trick, it was an open secret. The media was more free then.

    What were accepted facts are now conspiracy theories. For example, after Congress decided in the late 70s that Oswald did not work alone, there was no opposition for awhile. Meanwhile in the background, the CIA added and subtracted to the media pundits influencing public thought...It's why history keeps repeating.

    People get smarter, then dumber, then smarter, then dumber...so we're back to the Age of Innocence about the oldest NBA Finals trick in the book.

    The accident was just to level the playing field against Lebron's steroid use.

    I remember listening to an interview from a estranged UNC professor who said she had seen dozens of transcripts for basketball players that made no sense. She
    said that fraud was rampant. I believe her now and I believed her then. But basketball brings in a ton of money to UNC, no way they will do anything about it.

    So the Spurs or whoever did it knew only Lebron would cramp and the other 23 players dressed would be immune to it?.
    Obviously reaching there.

    Smh.
