OFFICIAL 2018 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD

[nako xl]

I have to imagine. I'm hearing two families of current USC players on the hoops team received benefits.

But they’re saying for SC it’s two players who haven’t played at all while ineligible. SC basketball may self sanction. Sucks in a year they’re projected to be a top 10 team.

I root for Duke BB though and they don’t cheat

Except for Maggette, Duhon, and Lance Thomas

Rumor Is MG3's name popped up in relation to that case


Do you root for any local teams outside of the Jets ?

I wish Michigan BB still dropped bags like the old days

i'm hearing it was Melton and an incoming freshmen, which, if i had to guess, was the O'Bannon kid. I'm posting up in the college b-ball thread. Dis gonna be good, even if my program goes down. We have a 30 for 30 coming on this subject.

Michigan b-ball was my squad growing up. I rocked #41 in high school because of Glen Rice. One of my favorite players of all time

 

[trueprada]

On this date in 1913 @GeorgiaTechFB played game #1 at Grant Field. The oldest on-campus football stadium in the FBS turns today.

UAB will be honoring hospitalized kids at Homecoming by wearing their names on the back of their jerseys.

Lou Holtz: I Basically Know What It's Like To Be A Black Man Targeted By Police

"I don't really know what they're protesting?"

Kaep has made it known from Day 1 what he's protesting. People just took the Protesting the Anthem narrative and ran with it.

You know what Lou, let me help you out

nako xl Wasn't Louisville AD Tom Jurich the guy high on our list prior to us going with Swann? I want to say he passed on the gig?

Die hard rooting interests are the Knicks first and foremost, but I hate them, and the Jets. My college teams are completely based on schools older family went to and put me on to (or I attended.)

I didn't move to the US til I was 9 so "local" is relative. I was a soccer fan before everything (United.)

 

[witnesskb24]

Titans and Buckeyes

Basketball super boring to me especially the NBA

 

[Bobby Layne]

Bobby the one that snitched

 

[witnesskb24]

At least we know Ohio states bum *** bball program isn't involved with this

Could've been decent if they were

No we don't. JB is clean and be thankful for that

 

[Bobby Layne]

As long as your not compromising the health and safety of the athletes, and the rest of the student body and community, the W's are all that really matters. You don't get extra points for being clean, and assuming you actually get caught, vacated W's is a meaningless punishment. We know who won the games, and we know how these sports operate by and large.

I appreciate what JB's done for the program but Fisher >.

I want Michigan to have "clean" programs in the sense of not covering up serious crimes , and making sure these guys at least leave the school with a decent education. I couldn't care less about everything else.

Fab Five were quintessential '90s. Miss those days, crooked or not.


On the same note, this NCAA bball FBI saga is playing out like a soap opera.

 

[trueprada]

Finally had a chance to do a thorough read-thru on the FBI/college hoops probe.
Two thoughts:
1) Duh.
2) Look out, college football.

 

[Bobby Layne]

How much are legitimate agents and shoe guys actually involved in the recruiting process though? The 7 on 7 circuit is the only thing remotely resembles the AAU circuit in basketball, and because of the nature of the sport, an agent going after a kid as HS senior is much more of a risk.

I'm sure the agent thing has happened with some elite kids, but I doubt it's anywhere as widespread as what is happening in CBB.

Good question for Sony Vaccaro. Been around for a while. I believe there's a documentary on it on Netflix, too, regarding sneaker companies and college athletics.

As Bomani said, the only issue I take with it all is the coaches, who in exchange for kick backs, are setting kids up with money handlers who may not have their best fiduciary interests at heart and may even be seeking to exploit them.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Miami definitely beating Duke Friday night

The whole system of men's basketball and football are massive exploitations. There is no doubt they are seeking to exploit them.

C'mon maaaan.

Check your PM's bro.
