Jay Bilas said that "[we; the NCAA] need to play the players". Would this honestly solve the problem?

No, because now it's a signing bonus. Also, can Campbell pay as much as Kansas? Do you set a salary cap? Bilas must be worried Duke is next.

Bilas was on The Big Lead's podcast and it really short (20 minutes), and his comments within the first five minutes are fascinating as he doesn't believe those arrested really committed a crime as charges since the FBI is claiming that the universities were the one's harmed by the shoe company, players/families, and their employees (coaches).

No school will unless they have the means to fundraise the $750-1.5M to equip every team in every sport. 

 

Plus, Russell is leaving the uniform business to focus on retail.

Until Under Armour decided to go after Notre Dame, the cash amount given to schools was relatively small and not many P5 schools received it, even if they could by state law.  Cal, UCLA, Wisconsin and Louisville were in before this and the bubble has burst for various reasons, including this case.  Last week's announced new Kansas/Adidas deal is not yet signed, so these numbers are likely to change and go down.

No, but they can't compete under the current system either.  The lack of a level playing field is the  least of the concerns with regards to player compensation.

In non-shocking news, Pitino received 98% of the money from Louisville's old Adidas contract.

It's really apparent that Pitino, former AD Jurich, and former school president James Ramsey were grifting the university and its foundation for themselves, family and even former coach Denny Crum.

Of course, the natrual thing for the NCAA to do occurred.  They formed a committee.

The recent news of a federal investigation into fraud in college basketball made it very clear the NCAA needs to make substantive changes to the way we operate, and do so quickly. Individuals who break the trust on which college sports is based have no place here. While I believe the vast majority of coaches follow the rules, the culture of silence in college basketball enables bad actors, and we need them out of the game. We must take decisive action. This is not a time for half-measures or incremental change.

 

Therefore, I have secured endorsement from the NCAA Board of Governors and Division I Board of Directors to form a Commission on College Basketball, which Dr. Condoleezza Rice has agreed to chair, to work with me in examining critical aspects of a system that clearly is not working. The commission will be composed of leaders from higher education, college sports, government and the business world, as well as accomplished former student-athletes. Specifically, the commission will focus on three areas:

  1. The relationship of the NCAA national office, member institutions, student-athletes and coaches with outside entities, including:
    • Apparel companies and other commercial entities, to establish an environment where they can support programs in a transparent way, but not become an inappropriate or distorting influence on the game, recruits or their families.
    • Nonscholastic basketball, with a focus on the appropriate involvement of college coaches and others.
    • Agents or advisors, with an emphasis on how students and their families can get legitimate advice without being taken advantage of, defrauded or risk their NCAA eligibility.
  2. The NCAA’s relationship with the NBA, and the challenging effect the NBA’s so-called “one and done” rule has had on college basketball, including how the NCAA can change its own eligibility rules to address that dynamic.
  3. Creating the right relationship between the universities and colleges of the NCAA and its national office to promote transparency and accountability. The commission will be asked to evaluate whether the appropriate degree of authority is vested in the current enforcement and eligibility processes, and whether the collaborative model provides the investigative tools, cultural incentives and structures to ensure exploitation and corruption cannot hide in college sports.

 

More frequent flier miles and hotel points for those selected!

 

Committee membership includes Grant Hill, David Robinson, John Thompson II, Mike Montgomery, and retired Florida AD Jeremy Foley

And Oklahoma State has been subpoenaed and it seems the Feds want to pinch the kids for fraud.

 STILLWATER — Oklahoma State University has received a subpoena from a New York grand jury asking for all documents and communications regarding "actual or potential NCAA rules violations" by players and coaches of the men's basketball team, The Oklahoman has learned.

The subpoena is linked to a college basketball bribery investigation that earlier led to the arrest of fired OSU assistant basketball coach Lamont Evans and some assistant coaches for other teams.

The subpoena is far-reaching in the types of records being demanded, requesting emails, text messages, cellular phone records, social media messages, computer records and a host of other documents and electronic records covering the time period from Jan. 1, 2014 to the present. Even handwritten notes in the possession of OSU regents and employees are being demanded. Evidence of men's basketball NCAA violations is just a small part of records the grand jury is demanding.
