OT Adidas head and NCAA asst coaches arrested on fraud and corruption charges

SOOOOOOO much anger towards our ducks. Just take all that balled up aggression and apply it towards rooting for YOUR school instead of hating OTHERS. And who knows, maybe one day your guys' "program" will move up to D-1

 

BAM! Well done! See all it took was an avatar FAMS!

 

Are you serious?

The first link you gave you said mentioned that Oregon did not make Bowen's final 5. But it also said Troy Brown, an oregon recruit was working hard on him. And that he was keeping an open mind.

The 2nd link on May 8 says he paid his own way to visit Oregon with his Mom. My understanding at that time was Oregon thought they had him during that visit. But when he went to Louisville a few weeks later he committed.

Your third link (and the accusation you are making from it) that it was Oregon, who was the school from the rival shoe company.....is absurd. Why could it not have been one of the other schools? Maybe even one that has already been implicated ......like Arizona? They are a Nike school too. You just want it to be Oregon. Hell maybe it is Oregon but nothing so far suggests that it was. A lot of schools were after him.

 

I expect something more creative from a guy that spends most of his time on here talking shit.

This is and will continue to be one of, if not the most, important event in NCAA history and quite possible a turning point for a historically corrupt institution that will have a direct effect on all major US sports. So excuse me if I am intrigued and tuned in to the possible allegations and results of future investigations. There’s a reason why the FBfuckinI is taking this so seriously and it dominates the sports news world right now.

 

It is so obvious that you refuse to accept that a player who has proven to accept money for a commitment most likely won’t change his top 5 because of genuine peer recruiting.

The odds are Arizona made an offer as well. I would be suprised if every team in his top 5 didn’t offer him money, that’s how these things go. I think a lot of people, including you, are ignorant to just how corrupt the landscape has become and the pay to play concept that has been adopted by every major program in college basketball for the last 10-15 years. Maybe longer.

Did all of these 4 and 5 star recruits become
suddenly interesred in Oregon because of their appearances in the final 4? Probably. But once you have a seat at that table you have to play the game established loooong before you ever showed up.

 

The point is you went right after Oregon for no reason. Except for pure hate. I agree this is going to be huge. Dan Patrick was saying 50-75 schools before it is done........ Yes that will change things.

 

I went after UO because it’s relevant to sports fans in the state of Oregon and I saw a clear connection. I’m a Beaver married to a duck, raised by two parents who graduated from UO, and owns a business in and lives in Eugene. I don’t hate the ducks on any personal level. Only a pure rivalry generated dislike.

I’d be just as interested in this if it only involved the true blue bloods of college basketball. Unfortunately, I think it goes a lot further than that.

 

Fuck you asshole!

 

Damn, I bet this is connected to our Adidas passes!

 

The myth is that college sports are "pure", unaffected by big contracts, free agency, et al. In other words, they are "pure" because the athletes don't get paid, theoretically.

Yeah, real pure. Maybe the so called minor sports that don't make money, maybe the women, who still, even the high profile women's basketball teams, don't rake in as much. (UConn recruits on their rep, not cash, so far as anyone knows.) But NCAA football and men's basketball is if anything more corrupt than pro.

 

I think basketball is worse than football. The AAU coaches have had way too much power/influence for way too long.
Football has it's issues as well, but basketball is terrible. No doubt it needs drastic changes to be made.

 

Bronze.

 

They will make a pageant out of it. Everybody see Wag The Dog? The FBI will get it's Pound of Flesh. The NCAA will come up with a new infractions process that this time isn't filled with 3 or 4 old white guys who sit on the Trustees Board at a major university.... but honestly to change the process you HAVE TO GO AFTER THE MONEY. You have to force a change that would take Congress getting involved and a major review of college athletics. When Congress got involved last time in the baseball steroids scandal.... Oh Yeah, how many players were indicted? All these guys will just defer to their lawyers and take the fifth.... Now whether the big universities say FUCK THE NCAA and decide to make up their own tournament, in time.... who knows?

 

So maybe the FBI is getting kick backs from the private companies that will fund the new college leagues. It's all a scam!

 

They are after the Addicts linked whistle blower and he is throwing shade during his own defense.

"LOOK! LOOK! LOOK WHAT THE OTHER GUY WAS DOING!"

If Bowen's father is already a federal witness then either they know Oregon offered cash or don't care since there are other teams that are guilty.

Personally, I think every program is screwed at this point. The whole farm is burning down.

 

Only a matter of time before Oregon was dragged into this. The connection between Nike and UO is an easy puzzle to put together.

Whether they did anything, is another story.

Plus, its not illegal to offer money. Its illegal to pay money
