Duke basketball player likes his jewelry!

The reason the NCAA exists is to prevent an unfair competitive advantage. Why don't you post something contrary.




Timing of lawsuit is immaterial. NCAA just needs info that an amateur athlete came up with 100K while in school.

That was certainly one of their goals. Read the first couple pages of the manual if you think that's their sole purpose. Also, check out the philosophies behind the current rules changes. They're eliminating most of the rules designed to prevent competitive advantages. They realize that it's impossible to create the environment that the current rules sought to.


The lawsuit does matter. Evidence is required to punish a university. I think you would want some evidence before your school was punished for having a kid throw $30k down on some jewelry.

The down payment was $30K. The balance of $68K was the issue. It was "settled". I wonder how?
:question:

The evidence of the $68K default is public record. That's evidence. Show me where an amateur athlete gets that and we're cool.

I missed this earlier so some of what I posted may be wrong, but here's a list of NCAA constitutional references cited by the Executive Committee (which has representatives from 22 different schools):

Penn State - NCAA.org

here's the motion explaining their actions:

Nice research.
That's a lot more than just making it up as they go.

Obviously another thing you comment on without reading.


So we know, but the NCAA doesn't? You're really reaching now.

What do you know? That Coach K is handing out five-figure checks to Lance Thomas?

If anyone's reaching here, it's definitely not me.

Probably with him paying them from his NBA salary. Any more thought-provoking questions for the board?
