St. Mary’s just stole a bid I believe.

Imagine that... parents want their kids to have the best educators and educations possible and they’re willing to pay more for it to happen even if a kid can’t get in on their own merits. Almost like we live in a relatively free market.

Anyone going to the P&L? I'm headed up to KC tomorrow evening and will sporadically be around P&L Thursday and most of Friday. Willing to buy a few rounds if anyone is in the area.

Yep. No one said a word when simmons went to LSU. Of course, he didn't really win there so does it really matter? One thing I've noticed about this thread in the last 2 pages is that some need to read up on what the investigation is all about. This thread covers it well and is only 6 pages of comments. It is more than enough info to figure out "why it is illegal to pay players." I still think there is a huge reckoning coming this summer. I hope KU is ready to do the UNC thing and just file lawsuits like crazy against the NCAA. I have a friend that worked the PR on the UNC deal and he said KU needs to be aggressive as fuck to be on the right side of this. Self is going to have to risk his reputation to get KU out of the woods. I hope he is willing to do that for the school that made him HOF worthy.

Checking in from Tulsa.... had a good go of it on bumble and hinge. Started out down here with a couple of low mediocre girls. As I have said, I need at least a 1.5 point handicap in Tulsa. There are hot women, they are all just scooped up and married by age 24. So I get here just over 3 weeks ago and start to prowl. Knock down a couple of 6's about a week after I get here to get the juices flowing. Then in the last week I have drilled a former budweiser bikini girl and and a girl who I think is a HARD 8 or a soft 9. Her body is definitely a 9 with some big fake boobies that kept popping out of her deep cut shirt as we pounded a bottle of sake. I'd give her face an 8 or so. The budweiser girl still has the body shape and probably only weighs 110 or so but you can tell she's lost the tone. That pussy is tight as fuck though. Finally, I hit hooters about a week ago with some friends and the waitress kept asking if I was bradley cooper. Naturally, I signed a napkin with my number on it and a note that said "you'd make it big where I'm from." I didn't think anything of it and she started texting me on Friday. I told her if she was 21 I'd buy her a drink. "I'm not but I have an ID that say's I am." So I offer to have her come over to my place and "knock it out" and she says that her week is busy with midterms. We're working out a study break between our schedules this week. Turns out she's verifiable 19. She's insane but fuck it. Finally, scheduled my vasectomy for 4/11/19 so I don't get anyone pregnant. Riding the heater while I can. Noodz will come from the hot ones as soon as I can get them.

Did he go down in their game? It seems like every time he tweaks an ankle KSU fans speculate his career is over.

We win the league and he probably wins it. We didn’t. Culver and tech did. Hard to argue for Lawson.

The crime is that allegedly the student athlete does not know his eligibility is being killed. So adults are brokering deals and bribing people and directing kids without their knowledge, effectively ruining their amateur status based on the rules of the NCAA. It is alleged that the universities didn't know and that makes it fraud because the universities are spending millions on kids who are not eligible to play. The whole case is built around the idea that the kids and the universities are unaware this is happening.

You're 100% right for the most part. I was talking more about how KU fans shouldn't be talking about how the tourney is more important to us now than the regular season. If you hear a KU fan try to downplay the regular season then they are an idiot.

Its meaningless to KU fans and it should be. We haven't built our egos on that. If any KU fan sees winning the tourney title as a better deal than winning the conference regular season then they are an idiot. Even in our best years, I have only looked at the tourney as extra games knowing that we are battling for a 1 or 2 seed in the real tourney. If we could outlast the teams we are battling (say its UNC or KU for the last 1 seed) then I care more about lasting 1 more game than UNC than I do about actually winning the tournament. If we win, we win and its always great to win a game, especially some of the great games the tourney has produced. The party is just awesome. I'm coming up to KC next week and will be at the tourney on Thursday afternoon and Friday evening. I'll be buying drinks.

My guess is that a player fucked another player's girl.

Wow two clones yelling at each other in a FT huddle. That lockerroom must be a mess.

Huggins got so drunk last night he didn’t shave today and prohm is trying to act like he has control of his team. What a show.

Jesus Christ clones.

The problem is Texas is probably the worst matchup on paper for us. Could get bounced and end up a low 4 seed. Crazy to think that’s bad for a program but damn. The expectations are insane, even when you know they’re insane.

This season blows.

This is the exact Kansas team that loses in the first round.

We just suck. We don’t deserve a share of the title if we were handed it.

of course that’s whats going to happen. They won’t sell more than 5000 tickets for first round games if KU isn’t there. KSU would be decent too but KU fans sell out these venues. It’s about the money at that point. Not seed

You're not necessarily wrong with him being a "bad" coach in the big12 though. I think that speaks to how good the coaches are in the big12. If you started to move the other coaches in the league into his shoes, would they win how he has? I think Self, Beard, and Huggy would be better. Kruger, Prohm, Drew, would be about the same or a little better. Weber and Shaka would be worse. Boynton is still an unknown so I'll reserve judgement there. In the worst case scenario he might be the 7th best coach in the league. In the best case, he is the 4th or 5th best. TCU is a shit basketball school, but it isn't a bad spot to land given the area and that it is in a big conference. They definitely aren't getting anyone better though.

They were denied within 24 hours by the judge, which I thought was weird. He did deny without prejudice though saying they are free to appeal to another judge. I'm not sure a judge wants to be a kingmaker in the deal, but the FBI/prosecutor probably doesn't want the evidence released to the NCAA. Thought being that if the NCAA rules that the schools were complicit then it could jeopardize the integrity of the investigation being that the charges were that the schools were defrauded because they didn't know. I think the NCAA ends up with the evidence in the end. Maybe the judge just wanted to give the second trial some cover by not having people speculate based on leaked docs from the first trial.

DO still sucks. Please win Ut.

Would really love some help tonight. If KSU doesn’t lose tonight then this thing is over I think.

Pretty good review here. So if his offense and defense aren’t great but aren’t really the sole contributor to the underachieving then what is? Can he just not inspire? Does he have the ISU problem of nice pieces but no one cares about the team/program? No pride? Say what you want and trash him all you want, UT would probably be in the E8 by year 3 and maybe sooner. I hope UCLA gets their head out of their self righteous ass and hires him. It’s good for CBB when UCLA is relevant. Pitino has his problems (and night even bring his problems) but outside of Mack he is the only cant miss hire right now.
