I had a similar conversation with a former ACC guard about the ability to play the same games to compete. He made it clear that your tobacco road powers all have very strong connections ( call then inside guys or whatever) within the NCAA and it's been that way for years. Until that changes, the playing field will not even out. It's the collegiate athletics organization that is too big to fail or too hard to replace or gut and thus here we are. Bias and corruption are no doubt evident but who is going to take on the case of cleaning things up? The FBI stuff brought a lot of intreague about possibly exposing the NCAA but lately it's all crickets. So for now we have to live with being unable to play the game the same way.
