it's a free country, the kid has the right to make some $$$

it's up to illinois and kansas to understand if the kid will bail on Wisconsin, the kid will bail on them

tampering should be enforced

apparently that's not the case any longer

I hope Illinois gets drilled with this, and that Storr is declared ineligible.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the games in the "February swoon" where they went 2-6 and Storr's points in each of those 6 losses was 28, 14, 20, 14, 21, and 14.  In every one of those games, he was either the leading scorer or second leading scorer (and usually only by 1 point under the leader).
So, if Storr was shopping himself around, his play didn't reflect it.  I suppose you could make an argument that if the rest of the team knew about it, it may have affected their play, but that is somewhat hard to imagine with the typical desire to win for most players.

This is not to say that I disagree with the sentiment though.  If Storr was truly shopping himself out, there should be reprecussions.

I looked at the scores too, and you have to wonder if the others knew.

I'm guessing they did.

Isn't Outkick like the NY Post for sports?  It's not full on National Enquirer "bat boy lives", but it's clearly just click bait?

Once again, let them be employees, let them unionize, and lets collectively bargain all of this out.

Or just put the old transfer rule in without exceptions.  I still don't understand how the NCAA isn't allowed to set their own eligibility rules.  Otherwise, what is keeping a guy who is a good college player, but not a pro, from playing college basketball for a decade as long as he's an enrolled student.  I don't see how the NCAA regulating that is any different than saying if you transfer, you have to sit out a year.

All 15 players on the All-Big East 1st, 2nd and HM teams are gone.  Either portal, Draft, or out of eligibility

Looking closer, only three people listed as non-senior/grad students in the bunch. One is a top-5 draft pick. One is a fifth year guy who I guess had eligibility left, one is a junior who won conference player of the year and went to the draft. 

As far as I can tell, the only transfer is a fifth-year guy who was on the team through the last coaching change.

So, UW now has 3 transfers coming. All are from mid-major schools and came either cheap or free.

Gillis could absolutely contribute at ND.  Figured Morton would transfer down a level.
Morton to Colorado State.  That makes more sense.

Hmm, didn’t see the reporting about the price tag. Interesting.

It's a weird sort of beast.

It was started by an ex-Jim Rome caller and eventual Deadspin contriburoty, who kind of crafted a sort of bro sports site/radio empire that just kept growing and adding stuff. At some point, he leveraged some fame from being sort of anti-political against ESPN, and then kind of realized that being very political was a better bet for him.

It's now sort of a fusion of politics, sports and politics of sports with a keen eye for aggregation and messaging. I think they have some good stuff somewhere in there, but the grinding out spicy stories that are lightly reported and raw political commentary seems to pay the bills.
