It really was a way the NCAA could attract NBA level talent so they allowed intermediary corporate actors to make it happen as long as sausage was made covertly. It became permissible because it was permitted; thus everyone did it, but still only a few benefited meaningfully. That is why the investigation is a deflection of the NCAA’s actual role. When this became known, they needed to own their culpability. “We, the NCAA knew this was the way of recruiting in the one and done era. We accept responsibility and have changed the way we will monitor athletic companies, reps, and corporate money going forward.” But instead, they looked for scapegoats while protecting the viability of a few select institutions who actually signed Williamson and others.Gqcolorado wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 6:06 pm Again, I don’t disagree, but saying ‘it’s how everyone played the game’ is the absolute worst.
Other kids were doing it. I hate that shit.
It is now Kafka level insinuation and capriciousness.
