Duke should be going down here. We'll see. Maybe East Carolina takes the hit.

not sure the NCAA will touch the almighty Duke  but it clearly shows how its not too hard to pay players in college basketball.  it just might come from a distant relative but there are ways

Some people in Wisconsin bitch and moan that they can't keep the state's top talent at home. This is why.

Keeping Sam Dekker is a rarity. Since then, almost* all of the state's top players go to blue bloods.


* Joey Hauser stayed home to play at Marquette, where is brother was.

Is there anything in this that suggests Duke was aware or participated if all this happened?

There was nothing to indicate that oSu was aware that one of its assistants was getting paid by Nike (or whatever the offense was).
