Money won't hurt them. K only uses about 8 scholarships per team so reducing those won't hurt them. Only thing to hurt Duke is banning them from post season play.

I love good conspiracy theories. Makes me curious where everything starts. Kind of like the movie Pelican Brief back in the day. Some guy at Nike probably said to somebody who told somebody who told somebody we really need Zion at a Nike school and the wheels are set in motion. No telling how high up some of these scandals can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem odd though when I do about 2 minutes of searching I can find out pretty quickly that it was common knowledge that Zion's family was living in a $1M home this season in a subdivision called Colvard Farms in Durham. Owner of the home is a Duke grad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In related news, Dick Vitale retires, effective immediately. More like: “In response to the pay for play scandal at Duke, the NCAA has banned their men’s basketball program from appearing on television from April thru October 2019. Full television access will be re-instated Nov. 1, 2019 with the NCAA agreeing to reimburse the University for any media revenue lost during that time. Coach K denies any wrongdoing but feels, although extremely harsh, the punishment is manageable.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiveoutofsix Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 There has been smoke for years. K involvment in USA gives him an outlet. Beyond that there has been smoke that I have been old enough to hear with Corey M, Brand, etc. The Chicago kids and Chicago AAU...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Gee, the minute I saw Michael Avenatti's name attached to this story, skepticism crept in. I'm not naive enough to believe that Duke basketball is as pure as the new driven snow, but when I see that idiot's name attached to anything, both eyes become jaundiced.
