If the university was running a diploma mill to keep players eligible, I Would be “disappointed beyond all belief.” If the players were shaving points, I would be “flabbergasted and disgusted.”
Neither our school nor our team has done anything wrong. The only person I would hang by his gonads is the unnamed coach who delivered the cash to the unnamed player’s parents. We don’t know if the unnamed player even knew about the deal nor do we know if our HC knew.
What I WOULD like to know from some of you basketball gurus is who was the recruiting coach of record — the unnamed dude who was in contact with the unnamed parents of the unnamed player.
Adidas is our athletic apparel supplier and is the party with the most to gain from the unnamed player wearing Adidas Shoes and other apparel. I hope Debbie Yow has the schools legal staff searching for a way out of any apparel contract we may have with Adidas.
Even though the unnamed coach who delivered the cash is in deep, neither the team nor the school has committed a crime IMO. In any event hire the law firm that EweNC used and we will be found to be in full compliance with any NCAA rules and not subject to so much as a wrist slap.
It’s not like our HC had a slush fund like a certain coach from a school in the west had. Lighten up, Packster. This transgression by an unnamed coach from a former team doesn’t warrant being “flabbergasted and disgusted.” Let’s keep it in the “disappointed” but NOT beyond all belief category. 😉
