2018-2019 College Basketball Season
They got caught, now they have to pay the price plain and simple. If they have a good assistant head coach they should be fine. I don't think they make a final 4 run though, but ya never know how it plays out. That is why I like basketball, any team can win during the tourney.

Very worried about a possible ACL tear for Marques Bolden on Duke based on how he landed.
Ya that did not look good. They can't really afford to have another guy down. White needs to really step up.

He was caught cheating, there is no justification for keeping him around.

“Caught cheating”... So you have seen proof of money being given to a player? I haven’t , nor will you...
The hypocrisy of some of you is baffling, There's no moral high ground in the mud of college recruiting.
The list of schools discussed on the FBI wire taps in question:
Alabama, Clemson, Creighton, Duke, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Maryland, Michigan State, NC State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Seton Hall, USC, Utah, Villanova, Virginia, Washington, Wichita State Texas and Xavier.
Spare me the moral outrage...

It's not moral outrage, he was caught on tape discussing offering to pay a player. That should end the career of any college coach.
An Auburn coach was caught doing the same last year, he was canned immediately.

Cam Newton’s Dad asked for 180K (could be proven), couldn’t prove if he got paid. Cam played, Auburn had a great season, Cam won a Heisman.
If we were competent , we would have pulled an Auburn and locked arms and went “All In”, and printed shirts...
Bruce Pearl had a show cause, and Auburn still hires him.
Thanks for beating Tennessee today, we play Vandy in less than a hour for the outright title.

Who is Joe Alleva?
Vols took it on the chin today. Actually, they stuck their chin out and let Auburn pound on it in the second half. That's what happens when they play dribble ball with no movement and forget to help on defense. When they played ball movement with the pass, they were in control. Bruce did a good job inspiring his squad. He is a good coach that got a raw deal from the NCAA with the multi year suspension.
Not looking good for Duke.

Like I said, not trying to claim high ground. If it had been Chizik on that tape offering Cams dad money I have no doubt he would have been fired. Instead it was Miss St booster.
I think any program will fire a coach for offering to play a player.
I was shocked to see that happen.

Joe Alleva is LSU’s joke of an Athletic Director.

The optics are certainly bad, yes. You never want your head coach on an FBI wiretap discussing a “strong-ass offer” with a convicted middle-man about what is presumed to be freshman guard Javonte Smart.
Yes Wade is on that wiretap. And Wade is also on record discussing a potential payment to Florida State freshman Balsa Koprivica. But the burden of proof is on the NCAA to find that an impermissible offer was made to Smart and that Smart accepted said offer.
Neither Wade nor LSU has been found guilty of anything, what if after Wade takes the stand, the NCAA isn’t able pin him for any wrongdoing, and the leadership who didn’t have the guts to stand behind their guy in his most trying time has to welcome him back? The NCAA isn’t investigating LSU basketball; Will Wade is not on trial.
Unless there’s some big revelation coming from the Feds, Wade isn’t likely going to incriminate himself on the stand. The NCAA may never get anymore than what they currently have.
Stand by your guy. Or don’t and tell him to get out of Baton Rouge back in October when the transcript was read in court. But don’t choose a half-measure, suspend him 30 games into the season and hope the NCAA goes easy on you if and when sanctions are handed down.
Go on a Final Four run, and if some wrongdoing took place, THEN let the incompetent NCAA try and nail you. But don’t get cold feet the night before the biggest day for basketball in the past decade and admit to something you haven’t even been accused of. Our administration is the biggest joke in the SEC.

There are two teams on that list I root for, KU and Duke. Yes I'm a Duke homer since about 1982. At least I don't see my Badgers on that list.

Coach K said after the game that the initial diagnosis for Bolden is an MCL sprain, NOT the ACL. So same ligament injured as Zion, but Duke doesn't know the severity of the injury, it may be more severe than Zion's injury.

Safe to say that Tennessee either really sucks at offering or doesn’t when it comes to basketball lol

Tonight’s game in Baton Rouge, looks more like a protest than a game...
