How long before Dukie V is calling for Coach K's head?  Oh wait...

I'm shocked at how stupid these execs are. There's no reason to be exchanging cash or store credits. Fools.

Duke? Say it aint so! The bastion of purity and all that's right with college hoops. Ha.

Bluebloods get passes. Always. And forever.

It would be nice to see NCAA would do something about this but I am sure duke gets a pass.

Pretty weak take. Crying the blues about preferential treatment never got anyone anywhere.

Which bluebloods have ever been reprimanded?  UNC for the fake classes?  Was Dook investigated during the first round of Zion's exposure?  Did the Michigan State Title IX issue get swept under the rug for the basketball program?  Was Kentucky investigated when Bam Adebayo and Nerlens Noel's names were mentioned in the 2018 scandal?  Not to mention that UK was only slapped on the wrist with probation when Manuel and Chris Mills were caught red handed.

We'll see if KU is seriously penalized.  Their coaches were dumb enough to send TEXTS that specifically mentioned recruiting practices.  Regardless, Bill Self isn't Coach K or Roy Williams.  ESPN tried to make Arizona the scapegoat...and it didn't work.  I'm intrigued to find out whether the NCAA puts the spotlight on a major program when this entire debacle is settled.

We don't even know what all of the NOA's will amount to. People can take it personally, but Arizona pumped and dumped. We have nothing going on currently. It's still essentially the team Miller put together. The planned takedown of Miller is no different than the tweet about Auburn or whoever self-imposing when they lost their top 6 scorers.

The primary risk I see right now is seeing if Mathurin and Tube regress under the new coaching which could spook International recruits and then also if someone like Dalen Terry doesn't improve with all of the opportunity in the world - would validate the American recruits who didn't want to come on board. Still not convinced Nowell will show up, but hope he does, Dalen+Nowell will have to be living advertisements for gaining back the trust in the American pipeline. Dylan Anderson is probably keeping a close eye on this situation.

We have a really good idea of what's coming for most programs' NOA's because Oklahoma State set their bar. Their assistant took less more money than ours and they are on probation with minimal scholarship loss and a 1 year postseason ban (that wasn't even enforced during the appeal process).

We already served our self imposed postseason ban so we're likely on probation with a chance of 1-2 schollies gone.

Kansas is the only unknown because they weren't caught with the "same" violations as Arizona, OkSt, South Carolina, Auburn, USC, etc. It'll be interesting to see how they are treated.
