A bet on a new Melo?

[PoppyHart]

Let's say there's a stud recruit who's surname/nickname happens to be Melo.

He has a 50% chance of leading us to a National Title and years of bliss.

He also has a 50% chance of leading us into years of despair and NCAA sanctions.

But not both.

Do you want to recruit this kid?

You seem to be presenting an all or nothing proposition -- either win it all with a "dirty player" (no pun intended James) and not get caught, or not win it all and get caught.

Given my natural aversion to risk I would pass on this player. Enough of the sh!tstorms. Plus, if you don't win it fair and square what have you really won?

50% chance to win a national championship? That's a snap accept all day.

We happen to be recruiting a young fellow by the name of Melo Eggleston--class of 2017.

Another Fab Melo? No thanks.

We've learned our lesson and hopefully won't self-report anything ever again. That's the message the NCAA sent, anyway. Therefore, I think we're safe to snatch Melo 3.0 up for a shot at another Title.

Al Davis said it best, just win baby win.
