Oh man, if I had fuck you money I’d be very very much on board for this.DrPepper wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 6:14 am^^^^^^^CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 11:07 amThis is where I will beat a dead horse and again shed light on the absolute trashiness that is the fact that Udoka, being one of the biggest stars in a multimillion dollar entertainment industry, has seen his mom one time in the last 8 years all because of NCAA rules.
This would make an awesome tv commercial to play during the tournament. The anti-NCAA commercials to run a long with the “most of us will be going pro is something other than sports” commercials that the NCAA pays for.
There could be an organization like the truth.com is to tobacco.
Might as well file it under the "nothing matters" thread on the Pol board, but: this is your reminder that we're on NCAA death's doorstep for (1) a player who never played a game for us, and (2) a guy who sat out a year over $2,500 (after getting cleared initially), and who never even knew about the payment.ousdahl wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 7:45 am My favorite part is how UK fans are in blame-the-whistleblower mode, saying the real problem here is the Louisville fan who called it out, and that the vid itself doesn’t matter cuz it’s an old vid from “a couple weeks ago.”
Meanwhile, anyone else who pays any attention to college hoops would have been surprised UK players aren’t getting cash by the handful.
We aren’t clean, but the reality of what’s trying to be proved is amazing to think about, isn’t it?jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 8:36 amMight as well file it under the "nothing matters" thread on the Pol board, but: this is your reminder that we're on NCAA death's doorstep for (1) a player who never played a game for us, and (2) a guy who sat out a year over $2,500 (after getting cleared initially), and who never even knew about the payment.ousdahl wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 7:45 am My favorite part is how UK fans are in blame-the-whistleblower mode, saying the real problem here is the Louisville fan who called it out, and that the vid itself doesn’t matter cuz it’s an old vid from “a couple weeks ago.”

Perhaps, but youre less cynical than I am inclined to be.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 8:56 am Honestly, Clay Travis is such a boob. Sensationalist journalist making sweeping conclusions over some kid's snapchat.
Players do get cost of living funds each month (recall that we withheld Selby's to pay his restitution punishment). You save a couple year's worth, it can total up to a couple thousand in cash or so.
Not that Hagans isn't dumb for posting it, especially in this environment. But, the situation is most likely benign.
And that is a lot more OK as a message board poster than a national "journalist" with a very visible platform.TDub wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 9:28 amPerhaps, but youre less cynical than I am inclined to be.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 8:56 am Honestly, Clay Travis is such a boob.

If we're betting, and you take this explanation (along with any other "benign" explanation), and I get the field, I like my chances.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 8:56 am Honestly, Clay Travis is such a boob. Sensationalist journalist making sweeping conclusions over some kid's snapchat.
