Doyel article

Doyel: FBI confirms NCAA doesn't run NCAA basketball. Shoe companies do.

Not sure if posted already. Brief history of the shoe company/college marriage.
Pretty interesting anecdotes including cheating coaches bragging at the 2006 final four as well as a young Lebron accepting gifts fron "God".

"God gave it to me."

That's pure gold, gotta use that one.

Doyel is still a boob, but good article. Love how they feature a pic of JB and Hop though

Name names man, name names. I want to know who the SEC coach and recruit were Mr. Doyle. Was over a decade ago so name names.

And Big 12 school had to be Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Kansas, or Kansas St

My guess Kansas vs. Kentucky.

I'm not sure I like JB and Hopkins picture in an article about cheating. Implication without implication. "Adidas" right above JB's head.

I'm uneasy right now, maybe paranoid.

Another edit: Don't take this wrong, I don't believe JB or Hop got into this mess.

Hop sure looks thrilled to be there.

I can remember working up by the University of Michigan and one weekend they held an AAU tournament on campus in their field house ('96 or so). Up drives a yellow bus and a bunch of kids get of it,no big deal. But then all these high end luxury cars start showing up with kids close to 6'8" getting out of them,some driving some riding. Even one had had an entourage of bunch of older dudes wearing gold chains like they were Mr.T or something. At that time I had no clue who was who for recruits as the boards like this was never on my radar. Anyways being the wise ass that I am i walked up to Coach Fischer and says to him that Syracuse practices in Manley that is better than this place,their Gameday Arena as how can he draw all this talent in one place on a weekend to an event that was not listed anywhere in the news in Ann Arbor.
We went up to visit the football stadium and the B.B. Arena is next door to it. Well Fischer got security to escort out of the arena and my buddy says what the hell did you say to the coach? I said " the truth ".

So there was this building that was the official store of Michigan gear and after about 20 minutes being in there no other customers came in so I told girl if they want to increase their customer base they should start selling Syracuse Gear in their too. Man those people have no humor on that campus.

The article said the recruit was never named.
