Really, what’s getting uncovered by the FBI is completely unsurprising to me - and my only involvement with college basketball players was hooking them up with a beer occasionally when they were hanging out on South Campus.
I’m a little tired of the guys in the sport that are acting shocked. Either they are bald-faced lying on camera, or they are as a group the most oblivious group in America. My guess is it has been in their best interest not to know, so they convinced themselves of a lie - and now the elaborate deception they convinced themselves of is falling apart.
Every one of these guys - Walton, Vitale, Bilas, etc - lose a little bit more of my respect every time they open their mouths on this topic.
