This matter will be considered trivial once players can profit from their likeness, which is here, right? Zion was just ahead of the curve. When it comes to athletics, Rutgers is never ahead of the curve.

Unc has fake classes and duke paying players.doesnt matter, they will say its justified
Dickie V. would light the fuse.ESPN will never allow Duke bball to be "cancelled" or even banned from TV or post-season play. They would blow up the NCAA HQs before they'd allow that to happen.
Zion:s a PTPerDickie V. would light the fuse.
Pristine Coach K is outraged and knew nothing.
Unc has fake classes and duke paying players.
Duke will follow the UNC playbook. Fight the NCAA tooth and nail and in the end duke has way more resources and the NCAA is hurting for money now so duke will prevail.
I never get tired of theseNCAA will come down hard on Gardner Webb University for this!
He is the biggest fraud in sports history. Guy is a total pos.
The Zion case is nothing new. Puke has been paying players and getting their parents employment for basically the entire tenure of Cosch K. Players driving new cars was the norm not the exception there. As one poster noted - Gardner Webb is now on the NCAAs radar.
Exactly . Nothing new . The question would be when did duke start this ? Bobby hurley and grant hill’s families werent getting paid.
How do you know that? Jay Bilas says it was an issue when he was in college.
I think K plays the illicit game but I pay attention to the kids of guys who don't need money. In basketball, they seem to go to Duke most often (seems like Stanford is a frequent choice in football). This suggests that the program would be a top destination if everything were above board everywhere.Fraud? Listen he’s got dirt on his hands like every successful big time college coach. But he’s not a fraud . His championships and gold medals speak for itself. He’s actually pretty classy in defeat too .
You want a fraud? Look at the guy in Arizona that pays players as much as everyone and still can’t make a final four . ...btw I hate duke .
Where was that money coming from?RU should have outbid Duke for Zion.
