Is anyone shocked that big time college athletes are getting paid somehow, someway?

I'll translate it to D-1 hockey for comparison.

I have always assumed that blue chippers routinely get into the perennial contending schools despite laughably deficient academic records and, for that matter, brainpower. I assume Joe Rockhead skates a regular shift at BC, Michigan, NoDak, and Minny, and the only thing keeping the Ivies from doing the same thing is the utter nuclear Armageddon and donor anger that would come with exposure. "T'aint morals, tis money, that saves."

I would not in the least be surprised if a story broke that hockey players at the factory schools have their papers written for them by volunteers organized for that purpose by their hockey office.

I'd be pretty surprised if it was by the AD, even at a place where hockey is king. That's getting too close to the Pres.

But this kind of bald deal making and money laundering between the athlete, the AD, and a merchandiser? Yes, in all honesty if that happened with D-1 hockey I'd be genuinely shocked.

Now, with hoops and footbaw you have to slide the slime scale somewhere to the right for all these measures. But how much? That I just don't know.

I thought that was Calipari at UMass? What is Pitino's "Mickey the Dunce"?

The strippers/hookers for recruits. Maybe more like Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing".

Everyone knew that something like this was going on. AAU basketball is absolutely filthy and unregulated and that's the thing that basketball has that hockey doesn't. Football has been tilting that way with summer 7 on 7's and QB camps and this might put a pause on that.

Thought that was the Tennessee "hostess" program, but then again I assume every SEC and Pac 10 school has some variation of either pros or sorority girls lined up like a gridiron pegboard for recruit visits. The B1g would do it too but, you know...

The problem with this theory is I tutored the Stanford women's gymnastics team in 1988, and my friend tutored the Duke tennis team in 1993.

How enlightened of you, but you might have it all wrong.

I don't doubt all ncaa sports are bending rules but I doubt niche sports are as corrupt as big money sports

Nike has been asked to chat with the FBI.

Auburn has offered to refund season ticket money.

It's going to be a long year for NCAA hoops.

So you're saying Minnesota has a chance?

Unless they play Clarkson, yes.
