Pat Forde on Kansas' hoops recruiting (FBI-related)

[randomfan44]

Fans don't expect Ku to shudder the program but rather play on a level recruiting field with everyone else.

Only a K State fan would believe that everyone else is on a level recruiting field. That's the point. There is no level recruiting field in the current model.

Kansas has been giving money for years and everyone knows it

No, they haven't. Adidas has, just like Nike has. Only Adidas is doing about 10% of what Nike is doing. Big Brother Nike didn't get over 80% of the global basketball sneaker market by getting outbid by Little Brother Adidas.

Yeah, I remember that. The majority of the "impermissible benefits" were that a guy who saw a United Way video on the plight of Jackson and his family gave Jackson's mom rides from Oklahoma City to Lawrence to watch Darnell play and paid for some meals on the roadtrip when they traveled. He also gave her a loan to pay some medical bills. She couldn't drive herself and had significant medical bills because she was badly disabled in a car accident with a drunk driver that injured her and killed her mother.

The horror.

Lol oh my. What a take

Really? How about Darnell Jackson. He got paid by a booster. It’s a fact. He just got caught. How many didn’t get caught? You think they only paid him? You are nieve

Kansas will get a full pardon or plea bargain down to the equivalent of jaywalking. Nothing will happen. NOTHING.

Getting benefits from a booster isn't the same as getting paid by the school.

And it's "naive".

Getting benefits from a booster is a violation.

So you think the booster just decided with no instruction by the coach to start paying high school kids? Just out of the blue some rich guy decided I want this player at Kansas so I’ll give him some money? Riiiighhht. That’s not how it works dude

LOL you don't even believe that. And I am not naive enough to think it probably happens here at ISU.
Just cut the **** and spin.

Go back to your KU cave and stop trying to justify/ damage control this ****. Booster gives benefits it’s illegal. Your Nike this that ******** is getting old. Keep wearing those rose colored glasses.

The whole "yeah we cheat but Nike schools cheat more" is quite the hill to die on

Death Penalty.

I agree with the technical description that what happened broke the rules. I am just saying some random dude acting completely on his own by giving a kid's mom a ride to watch her son play isn't the same as "Kansas paid a player".

 

[randomfan44]

Do we actually think anything is going to happen to them? A legitimate punishment? Or will KU say, "We disagree, FU, we're not changing anything."

Also, funny about the booster vs the school. For example, let's say the law says my step-dad can't gift me unlimited money but he can gift my wife money. She just happens to get exactly what I need when I need it. Total coincidence.

Well, Kansas has already been punished by not being allowed to play Preston at all and having to be without DeSousa for an entire season.

What punishment should Kansas face for a coach saying he'd have to look into cheating if a recruit chose them and then the recruit doesn't choose them so they don't end up cheating?

 

[Go2Guy]

Kansas self reported the Preston situation as soon as they discovered it and sat DeSousa as soon as they became aware of his situation.

And who knows which way Zion leaned prior to getting paid by Nike to attend Duke.

Kansas lawyers will have to present a case that Self and staff (Townsend?) had, "no knowledge" Adidas was offering money to the families. what a joke.

The sad thing is you actually believe this

Your description of the booster's activity does not jive with the articles I read.

What a surprise.

Welp...I'm convinced. Bill Self is clearly too stupid to see what's happening all around his program.

Actually NCAA says they had no knowledge as well.

Wonder how KU will deal with being the victim in all this. Think they'll recover?
