Doesn't the concept of amateur athletics get even more far-fetched when a conference can accept an investment of $750M+?

97, how did Arizona cheat so much more egregiously than everyone else? Why is there so much more hate as you say for Arizona over other schools that obviously cheat as well. (Duke, UNC, Kentucky, hell Auburn made the Final 4 this year and NO ONE SAID A WORD about Pearl) I've been trying to dissect t...

Really interested in who said this. “Sean Miller is really in a box,” said a person familiar with the details of the case. “I don’t see how he can testify and it would stay consistent with his past statements. And I don’t see how he can keep the University of Arizona without exposure.” https://spor...

It is completely baffling that Schlabach still works for ESPN and perhaps even crazier he is still covering this story.

He got completely played and started a firestorm over literally nothing.

Newport's post is riddled with confirmation bias. Sean Miller was the head coach at Xavier taking over a program that has historically performed well. Xavier was an independent until 1979 and until that point had made the NCAA Tournament once (1961) and NIT once (1959). Then was in the Midwestern C...

Let's not forget that the 2013-14 Warriors got bounced in the first round, and with largely the same team, Kerr improved them by 16 regular season wins and won a championship the next year. If it was that easy Mark Jackson wouldn't be back in the studio right now. And Kerr had never coached a game ...

I've tried to piece everything together (even statements that have been "corrected") and this one theory seems to be plausible for me. I am going off the assumption that the calls occurred in the Spring of 2017 and that Ayton's name did come up in some fashion. Schlabach on TV Saturday said Spring 2...

No mention of Ayton https://twitter.com/RKelapire/status/969002296561446912 After it became clear that Ayton could not be verified as the 5-Star recruit, ESPN changed the details of the story. Which 5-star recruit could they be referring to though? 247sports' article says the calls took place 6/19/...

Maybe Shaka Smart wants to get out in front of the pitchforks and go to a basketball-first school?

His 47-46 record at Texas now would definitely set up an interesting 4th season.

I mean fuck it, I am game for Romar Ball if he can find an assistant to coach defense :lol: next year = zero chance there is a better chance of Sean returning next year than Romar being the head guy in 2018/19 Since it seems like this has been in the works awhile, any names for head coach next year...

Thought this might deserve its own thread. ESPN has now changed their original correction and made no note of it. They still have the correction date/time the same. It has changed from the calls between Dawkins and Miller occurring in "Spring 2016" to just "2016". I have archived both versions in Wa...

I know it's probably been discussed already but why in the world would Miller be talking over the phone with 24-year old Dawkins about a player he ALREADY had signed to an LOI. At best Schlabach didn't vet his story with the details and if that is the case it is going to come with severe consequence...

Random question I know with the Alkins/Akot news, but is Talbott Denny on the team next year? He's fully expected to be granted his 6th year of eligibility (if he hasn't already).

With Lo Romar coming aboard I see Duval and Bowen getting a little warmer. Bowen's end-of-day reality will and should be who goes/stays from our current squad.

I personally would be most interested in Romar for his ability to actually coach a functional offense, that would be a welcome addition. Watching UW the past few years, their offense consisted of pushing the ball up court quickly and jacking up a shot regardless if any teammates had worked into pos...
