Take Arizona down!
Hello Mr. Stewart
Hot takeThank God Bazley didn't come here. Kid is bad news, from the way he ditched Cuse, to his self congratulatory article in the Players' Tribune, to his idiotic decision to go to the G League, to quitting the G League, to being on the take. Getting him would have been like marrying a hooker, immediate fun but ultimately a bad ending.
Just a couple of thoughts: First, the plausible deniability defense doesn't work with the NCAA. They always counter with the 'lack of institutional control' charge, which can generate some serious sanctions. Second, if the NCAA doesn't act decisively, I really believe that Congressional hearings could be the result. A lot depends on the coverage the trial attracts and the revelations that occur. The higher the profile it acquires, the greater the pressure on the NCAA to act in a meaningful way. Of course, it does have the cover of mid term elections to distract the public, but...
You're 100% right everyone in the entire chain from the athletes to the school presidents did know. The only problem with that was not one of them would say anything.This is all god damn infuriating. The entire college basketball world was clearly aware of all this going on forever, including the NCAA. There is no possibly way they didn't know. And meanwhile we endure 10 year investigations and the annual barrage of articles on the Monday before the NCAA Tournament starts about "Throw a dart at the rule book and you'll find a rule Syracuse broke." It's total expletive.
