Allonzo Trier popped for PEDs again, suspended for the year

 

It’s really the least shocking article ever.

Top programs pay top players.

 

I read it, shrugged and went back to sleep. A coach took miles bridges parents out to dinner, what a scandal.

 

I’ve been to the redwood lodge and it’s not that good to drop $70 there wooing miles bridges.

 

how I sleep every night knowing my dad Jay would never be involved in any of these scandals

 

Boy I can’t wait until it’s revealed that he is lol.

 

It literally happens at every program. I don’t get why people pretend it doesn’t. That article is cool to read because it gives specific details but you really don’t learn anything you didn’t already know.

 

prob will

oh well

 

Wasn’t trying to be a jerk by the way, just poking fun

 

oh I know, no worries

 

Jay Wright uses Dove so you know he's clean.

 

Dove has too many detergents in it

 

Bad ROI for NC State with Dennis Smith

 

And whats gonna happen? They wipe all of last season? Not much there to wipe tbh

 

the thing is that most of this isn't even coach related, it's agent/player. the biggest thing this will affect are teams potentially sitting out carter/bridges/sexson/etc because of risks about ineligibility

 

Looking forward to Coach K having had no earthly idea any of this was going on at the program he's run for a thousand years

 

Shoutout to Uncle Phil for the ultra-clandestine bag drops, you'll never get us NCAA *crosses fingers*

 

It was a 103 dollar meal Carter's mom ate with an agent. Come on. Get out of here with this "any of this" nonsense.

Let’s be clear on exactly what’s happening here. Yahoo! Sports is pushing out a press release for the FBI, which is acting as the enforcement arm of the NCAA. That all feels like a bigger scandal than a spreadsheet that shows, among other things, a basketball recruit’s mom receiving “hundreds of dollars in advances” from an agent.

Yahoo!, the cops of sports media, have been humping this story hard. (Last week they promised the ongoing federal case would “fundamentally and indelibly alter the sport of college basketball.”) And why not? They’ve got a source, the feds themselves, leaking them evidence and Old Testament-level doom-saying about how good the feds’ case is, and how everyone should be terrified, which is something the feds only do if their case isn’t that strong and they want to pressure people into flipping.

Pay the kids.

 

Nah:

16.01.1.1 Restitution for Receipt of Impermissible Benefits. Unless otherwise noted, for violations of Bylaw 16 in which the value of the benefit is $100 $200 or less, the eligibility of the student-athlete shall not be affected conditioned upon the student-athlete's repayment of the benefit to a charity of his or her choice. The student-athlete, however, shall remain ineligible from the time the institution has knowledge of receipt of the impermissible benefit until the student-athlete repays the benefit. Violations of the bylaw remain institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1, and documentation of the student-athlete's repayment shall be forwarded to the enforcement staff. For violations of Bylaw 16 in which there is no monetary value to the benefit, violations shall be considered institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1; however, such violations shall not affect the student-athlete's eligibility.

It's a simple just pay it back at that level.

 

Bridges' Mom was 400, though? Wouldn't that not apply there? Says 200 or less

 

Ah, I dunno what Bridges was, I thought I read it was like $70 though.

 

article specifically talks about a 400 dollar withdrawal as well as a dinner for bridges

obviously this is going to be a case by case thing as opposed to an overall hammer

 

Meh. Let him play. I dunno what the next level up is without doing more research.
