I'm convinced if it were not for him stimulating discussions, this forum would be pretty dead in August.😜 Is Scott short for Michael Scott? It's all a big hoax and I want to know who's behind it!

So how many Nike teams were in last year's final four? That line didn't give the coach much cover. 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Dan is getting some real zingers in here... "Kansas, after all, famously cried it was a victim of its shoe partner, Adidas, when it was revealed Adidas helped them try to land top prospects. Then it immediately turned around and signed a new, long-term deal with Adidas because it needs that Adidas money and, if it were honest, the help with recruits, too." ...and let's face it...they knew what was going on. Weren't there emails between Adidas and Self about helping recruit players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do seem to recall a WaPo article written sometime ago that suggested Tim Langford was in a bidding war with the shoe companies to sponsor a team that he could run. Perhaps Adidas was willing to sponsor a team (which is within NCAA rule) while Nike was only content with ensuring Romeo made it to one of their teams. Perhaps the Langford's didn't want to engage in any shenanigans that would question his eligibility. I'm going to go with the latter so I feel better about things. I believe Romeo played for an Under Armour sponsored team the year before and they typically don't get the recognition that EYBL and Adidas Gauntlet do. addidas paid him $100,000.

You don't land 3 of the top 4 recruits in the country by accident, Zion was rich long before he got drafted. duke players have been paid for years.
