I mean, I don't think the world owes Duke basketball fans anything. They're spoiled enough.

 

It’s sad that when UNC players fill out resumes that’s the same response they get now. Seriously fucked up.

 

It owes *me* things though.

 

Tell me what classes you think Zion will be going to

 

psh. hell naw. Let the world give MSU a national title again first.

 

Not literal fake ones that fuck up his career and life. That’s the point. How do you defend this shit? It’s fucked and you, deep down, know it.

 

WVU has never won a national title

Sign me up for one pls

 

UNC fans be madddddddd.

 

Getting fake grades for skipping class and having other people write your papers is not too different (and that happens at every school). I’m not here to claim innocence of Carolina. But Zion isn’t there to be a student. He’s there to be an athlete. Whatever classes he enrolls in may as well be fake because he isn’t going to them.

 

Did I want Zion? Of course. Who didn’t? But college freshman dream teams have a poor track record in the tourney. Kentucky has one title to show for those teams.

 

lol you defend this? My god. We’re done here.

 

Lol the entire ncaa is corrupt but you still watch and support.

 

Yes the NCAA are, but if a team I liked were caught cheating— and hurting kids — I’d be irate, not double down on the cheating and defend it! Pay kids. Don’t fuck them over. Your school fucks kids over. That’s why they sued! Don’t defend this. Just don’t.

 

I’m not defending anything. I don’t agree with what they did. But I also don’t pretend that it isn’t an issue than runs rampant throughout collegiate sports. The whole system is corrupt and isn’t fair to the kids. Me acknowledging that isn’t defending anything.

 

Bagley does something every game that I start laughing out loud about.

 

Phil Booth fractured his shooting hand last night and is out indefinitely. That’s a big blow, he was just starting to get his game back after missing last season.

 

God damnit with these injuries this year

just get back healthy for the tournament. Thats all that really matters at this point.

 

can’t wait to hear Titus freak out on the pod now

 

OTL: Spartan secrets extend far beyond Larry Nassar

holy fuck fire izzo

 

It's no secret that for as beloved as Tom Izzo is, it's also an open secret that he's not a good human. All of these allegations absolutely suck, but Garrick Sherman, who transferred to Notre Dame let loose on Izzo calling him a pussy and some other potentially homophobic slurs when he thought Sherman wasn't working hard enough in practice. That was part of the reason he transferred away from the school.

Just goes to show, though, white males in positions of power are basically the worst people in the world.
