Zion got paid to go to Duke

[jr4750]

Brandin Knight agrees.

 

[Alsacs]

Everyone who saw the movie Blue Chips knows how this stuff goes down.

Syracuse got screwed in 2015. The fact we took it is such garbage.
The NCAA doesn’t care about fairness. I am glad Oliver Luck got screwed from the XFL he led the charge against us.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Duke is making some news lately...

I agree with everything in the blue box, but it’s stunning in its hypocrisy, with the Zion sitch playing out right in front of him.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

if you get a million from anyone and dont report it its illegal. even if its gift for nothing

At the federal level, this is wrong.
If the gift is under $15K, then it does not need to be reported or accounted for. (Some states have their own gift tax rules. NY has no lifetime gift tax, just a bad estate tax rule.)

If it is a gift of OVER $15,000.00, then it must be reported BY THE GIVER, but no taxes need be paid on it, as long as it is less than $11.5M (cumulative life time total). IF a gift tax is due, it is the GIVER who pays it, not the receiver. The receiver of a GIFT owes no tax liability for the transferred asset. Its a gift, not income or compensation.

When there is a condition to the "gift", such as go to Duke and play basketball, and I will give you money, that is, IMO, compensation, not a gift, and is, therefore, taxable.

There may be some tax recapture of previously non-taxable gifts which are made within 3 years of death (gift causa mortis), but only if the recapture of those gifts bring the estate into a taxable amount.)

Agent suing Zion Williamson alleges new housing, luxury cars for parents while at Duke

Wednesday's court filing also calls for Mike Krzyzewski to testify.

If the NCAA decides to do anything, this probably goes back to at least Jabari Parker. That would be exactly 200 wins.

 

[dan7800]

I will say this. It is common knowledge that Zion's family was provided a house.

I am sure "jobs" were given, and "rent" was paid. Might be the same guy who took care of Duhon's mom. Big booster and company.

 

[GFTakedown]

They will play the Cam Newton card and Zion/Duke will get a pass while the parent's will be punished!

Owned by a Thomas Morris...Duke alumni. SHOCKED I TELL YA.
$950,000 value
Almost $5,000 rent/month.

3 Luxury vehicles (Escalade, Yukon, GWagon)

But they could afford it right.

That house, alone, ought to be enough evidence to warrant crushing penalties.

Gilbert Arenas has claimed top players get 200k to go either Duke or Kentucky.

I mean What is the point of the NCAA if it is so selective in who it goes after.

Schools that play by the rules ought to sue the NCAA. Fans ought to sue the NCAA. We’ve all been watching and participating in fraud.

That's basically what got USC sanctioned in the Reggie Bush fiasco, which also came out during litigation with an agent.

go to the dictionary for "impunity" and you'll see a pic of K's smug god-bless-america face

 

[Ldavid]

Nothing changes until schools like Duke and Kentucky get punished.

Kentucky has been punished multiple times. There is an established cultural acceptance and encouragement of cheating. Most schools would have had the death penalty by now.

 

[Cusefan0307]

They def paid for Cam Reddish too. There were videos of he and Rich Paul meeting before he even played a second at Duke.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

The penalties have to be far more severe than one missed post season. If you can thrive by getting away with ‘murder’ for decades, and then lose only one tournament, you’d almost be stupid not to cheat.

[orange79]

Oh.

Well, if Dick Vitale says Duke said they didn't do it, that's good enough for me!

 

[capeorange]

Now that's funny!

I wonder if Zion or dook will pay to settle.

 

[Todoubled23]

LOL unbelievable. Duke investigates Duke AGAIN. Finds absolutely positively nothing AGAIN.
