How to Understand This

[OrangeinBoston]

There is a team that is likely to go to the Final Four. Accordingly they, and Kentucky, may very well dominate the spotlight right through the national championship game. Now, this team also had an issue early in the season with alleged sexual abuse by a coach. That's still in the collective conscience. It turned out that there was less there than met the eye. But, as a smart reporter would do, Robinson assumes that there may be fire where the smoke was. So, he digs around and finds evidence of something. Looks like it's already been self-reported, but no matter, the average guy won't know what that means. He is on the phone with ESPN, CBS, etc. etc. "Do I have something for you! Something that you can run with for the duration of the tournament! This will create incredible fan interest by giving them a common enemy to root against, boost ratings through the roof, and generate record profits for your networks." Money begins to cross palms. Story comes out the day before the BE tournament begins, the week before the field of 64 is announced.

If you think this is coincidence as Yahoo states (I almost died laughing when I read that), then I have two towers in lower Manhattan I will sell to you cheap.

P.S. Just to get ahead of the anti-conspiracy folks out there - it's not about a conspiracy. It's about $$$$$.

yahoo got a good reputation for investigative reporting and they probably want to contrast themselves with espn. "those jokers at espn went after the salacious nancy grace crap and didn't even notice the real and serious institutional scandal like we did"

Indeed, money is really the driver here.

I cant wait until we win the national championship and then watch these people to try and turn up the heat to get answers. Going to be fun to watch.

JB must be the new Jerry Tarkanian. Hopefully there are no pictures of any of our players in hot tubs with grown men (for many reasons).

I just find it odd when the Corey Magette thing happened at Duke was it blown out of the water like this? Did they threaten to vacate wins and suspend K?

I would look it up myself but I am trying to finish up my scouting report on LIU Brooklyn.
