U of U, Kuzma, Kentucky and others named in corruption scandal

Another major domino just fell... Archie Miller, head coach of Arizona, has been caught hand in the cookie jar, FBI wiretap, on the phone discussing a payment of $100,000 to possible #1 pick DeAndre Ayton.
 
The mandatory college rule is such complete and utter ********. These kids should be making endorsement money and/or play professionally the second they are good enough. Like a pro skateboarder or motocrosser or soccer player or...

At the very least, everyone should play by the same rules and those days are long gone. The disparity alone created by being in a P5 conference versus a non P5 will contribute to the ongoing gradual demise in the interest of college athletics. The fact that many schools ignore NCAA rules simply adds to that problem. With title 9 and the huge variation in donor money, paying players sounds easy but is an incredibly slippery slope and one that is far more complicated than most people think through. I am probably in the minority but I for one would like to keep amateur sports amateur. I have a little first hand perspective because I have a son who plays D1 ball. I am more than fine with what he gets for the time he puts in - which is a significant amount of time and it is year round.

While this is true, my bigger gripe is that the FBI spent over a year on this and God knows how many total man hours while we have terrorism and other actual important **** they should be concerned with going on in this crazy *** world.
 
The NCAA is so flawed. It can't be run like a business because some schools simply cannot afford to pay their players. If there was a pay system, the have and have nots will be so apparent. And if the pay scale is the same (lets just say minimum wage per hour), rich schools and donors will still compensate on the side. Its a lose lose scenario regardless.

The NBA needs to scrap the one year BS. That will help, but payments will happen regardless.

These kids are getting horribly exploited by the establishment, just like the rest of us, i have no sympathy for any of them. Transport them to the colonies if need be, they should know their place.

Where is the gratitude? They get to study in universities they'd never get let into or be able to afford because of the miserable reduced position of their parents. They have been extended the full pleasure of middle class privilege and lack decency and manners to be happy that these organisations make hundreds of thousands of dollars off their labour.

Amateurism is one of the most detestable lies in sport, it exploits working class athletes horribly, for the benefit of elites. It should be done away with as soon as possible.

Or they could develop the G-league(and a 22 and younger league?) to compete with the NCAA for talent.
 
18 year olds should go to the NBA if they think they are ready. If they aren't, GLeague.... The one and done garbage is bad for college and these kids.

I know through a friend’s friend that UK paid Eric Bledsoe too fwiw. Not that it’s a surprise. Most of us know this stuff is rampant, even at my beloved Sparty program, which I’ve now soured on. Even if the NCAA is a garbage body.
