Lots of Book haters need to do some heavy repenting!
Truth is the damned SEC and B10 been paying players for decades. Compare the USC Bush details to the Auburn Newton details. Only difference? SEC affiliation. NCAA promotes that corruption because the only thing more corrupt than that is Congress and our judicial branch.
Book is waiting for his formal or informal public apologies.
Throw CSM and Rich Rod in there as well.
Arizona and the State Board of Regents sure can screw things up!

How about the 'FIRST ALL #1 SEED FINAL FOUR'...

The Original one in 2008 when Derrick Rose of Memphis was on the take (JOHN CALIPARI) - All wins Vacated

Also in the 2008 Madness, OJ Mayo of USC participated. All Wins that season Vacated.

USC, Memphis..... good sacrificial lambs.

It ought to be a good Jeopardy question one day "It was the University that fell on the sword to create NIL officially" Who was University of Arizona. These players and prospects should be thanking Zona.

The Book situation feels like throwing someone in jail for having a few joints and then next year weed is legal to buy recreationally. The dude needs a redemption arc

Yea,crazy that after they made it legal, some people were still serving sentences for minor offenses.

ESPN needs to be the first to apologize. Screw those guys, especially Schlabach and Dukie V.

Yes, definitely feels like all the kids who in Arizona had to go through those TASC programs and then deal with their Records never getting "sealed" per wonky laws going back to the Sheriff Joe Arpaio days...

It's really a "nothing" burger with cheese. I don't think Tucson is the right place for Book, but if Tommy were interested in having him work the East Coast pipeline, then I would be all for it.

I just can't believe the whole Christian Dawkins 15 Minutes of Fame nonsense that destroyed Arizona for a couple years while Miller showed incredible RESOLVE to go out there and snag Nico, Zeke Nnaji, Josh Green, Brandon Williams, Jeter, etc and even the kid who never came because of "academics" Terry Armstrong?

Miller then got ruined by his own bosses and STILL found a way to make a team from Nothing. Akinjo, Jordan Brown, Jemarl Baker, Terrell Brown, Ira Lee... A lot of the results didn't match the hype, but some of those guys were 4/5* talents. Can't deny that.

Then the last straw to break the Penguin's back...

Koloko, Tubelis, Kerr, Dalen Terry.


And also from another post ---> Barcello... Terrell Brown went up to Washington and had a dominant season there. Seems like UW has never really put together a "TEAM" after the Isaiah Thomas years, but they do find ways to get Singular Talents in Basketball and Football.

Miller did everything he could after ESPN tried their best to sabotage Arizona.  It's a shame that they STILL haven't apologized (except Bilas, who surprisingly made a brief announcement...NOT on behalf of his entire shameful network).

Well get used to him because he is enroute to replace/add to the JimmyV Foundation with the DukieV... very sadly might I add as I wish people to be safe and healthy.
