Is cheating. And really big cheating is really unfair.
I started a separate thread bc I feel like something's missing.
Seems like most are focusing on the topic of amateurism and how it relates to the scandal.
I just saw Jay Bilas go on and on about the ncaa's hypocrisy. This is all fair and valid imo, and I tend to agree. However, where is all the talk about cheating? (And lying?) Why didn't he mention his alma mater and their recruiting dominance? For example, as least entertain the implications for K and current players. Doesn't espn love a good Duke story? If the Syracuse investigation turned up peanuts (i'm pretty sure he called it that), then what do you call this? Because it dwarfs what we got dinged for.
I'm hearing lots of talk excusing players for being taken advantage of and coaches being victims of this corrupt system where agents and shoe companies have too much influence. Fair in some instances, maybe. But, the coaches know who the agents are and the best players and their families are aware of agents from a young age. Are we all that naive to believe they don't know what's going on? Mistakes are mistakes, but come on...
And even in a fantasy world where these coaches and players had no idea their families were getting paid by agents, the fact remains that rules were broken and they gained an unfair advantage, a huuuge advantage in this case.
Incredible how many names on the list are recruits we missed on, or key players on teams in our new conference that we've had trouble keeping up with while on sanctions. Teams who we are in direct competition with.
And where were the UNCheat signs at the dome on Wednesday?
Now I'm angry so I'm going to the court and the first person who travels is catching hell. I hope JB spits on his hand before shaking K's on Saturday. Just kidding, just kidding...kind of
