Are Duke fans worried? I have yet to see any evidence that one of our guys got paid. Our compliance office and coaches aren’t dumb. The FBI raids were 6 months ago. If a current or former player was dealing with someone who was raided, I’m sure the coaches knew about it long ago. Anything that happened without their knowledge won’t matter much. We might lose a few players over a few hundred bucks and a bloomin onion, but so will all the top teams. This will lead to rule changes and life goes on.

I'm not at all worried right now. I think if they had anything significant on us, they would trip over themselves getting it out there.

Wait......I am worried.
I'm worried about can Bolden play the way he has been with the nose thing.
I'm worried about is Bags coming back and if so, how will the team respond.
And I'm worried about Trent or Allen hitting a shooting slump at a bad time...I think that's about it

Lonzo said everyone is getting paid. This whole thing is ********. Let’s just admit that it’s happening and figure out a solution.

What if we found out that there was dirt on Bagley, and that is the real reason he’s sitting? Just a random thought. That would really suck. Good thing I just made that up and it’s not real.

Matter of fact, is there any video of the moment he hurt his knee? I don’t even remember anything like that happening.

Considering this is the same “sports” organization that post stories entitled “Did Grayson Allen Trip Again”
The news stations here in Raleigh had the story tonight but only showed Duke and State. Yes it was an ABC affiliate.

Yikes... Miller’s going to jail if true probably. And Zona will be in big trouble. Man this is getting crazy..

One and done rule needs to be axed. This is out of control.

Another article as well about the coaches and agents... mentioned are Miles Bridges, Brian Bowen, Lauri Markannen, Jarell Martin to name a few.

Goes in detail about how agents communicate with the coaches to steer players to a program. MSU and IU were trying to get Bowen but the agent wanted a guarantee of players signing with them in exchange

All the Duke talk is click bait. $106 dollar dinner (which 1. could have been paid back OR 2. been just the Agents tab for all we know) is nothing compared to $100 grand. Duke is fine. But AZ is looking rough. And while I like Izzo, he can't withstand anymore garbage right now. Between these FBI implications about a MSU player and the other allegations at MSU, MSU can only stand by him so long. Shame, I really like Izzo.

Don't be surprised if whomever wins the naty title this year has to give it back. This mess could take months or a year to sift through. Once people start doing plea deals, look out. Fortunately I think Duke is going to be okay (let just hope Bags knee heals up)

Ohh well I meant Duke wise so maybe we were on different pages.

No that's why I was confused when you were saying "I know nothing and that means nothing, etc."... I was talking about college basketball and how more will be uncovered soon. This morning was only detailing two agents. Coaches and shoe company conversations will soon be leaked and we just saw that with Miller and now another article with MSU and IU.

No harm feelings btw.

Duke, UK, Texas etc. most of us knew this was going on, the ones who didn’t were just dumb fans who bought their school was the only one squeaky clean

****. When I brought up the idea that Duke, UK, and Kansas would be included in anyway, I got hammered. Didn’t take a rocket science to figure out that if they were going to come after a lot of teams regarding recruiting improprieties, they had to include Duke and Kentucky or every other fanbase would call ********.

I’m surprised that Carter is mentioned. He would’ve been one of the last kids that I would’ve assumed had done anything wrong. Just have to hope that it doesn’t make him ineligible for the tournament. I’m somewhat curious if any of this has to do with resting Bagley because K knew this was coming down.

I thought the same thing but I do remember him flexing and grabbing that knee during play in the 2nd half against uncheat. My wife deleted the recording of the game or I'd go back and look for the time in game where I saw it....

Generally, the NCAA will require the player to pay back the money to a charity of their choice but also sit out quite a few games....Indiana had players a few years back who had to sit 9 games for small amounts of cash....one kid receive $200 and had to sit 9 games. If Carter received $106, he's going to be required to sit and that might mean during the tourney... I sure hope this it.... as long as there aren't any recordings of our coaches discussing paying kids money, I'm good! agents are relentless coming after these kids and it's gets a little murky with lunch and dinner meetings... The NCAA is full of crap...they come for kids who take a plane ticket and get a free meal but don't do crap to a sh*t Hole program that allowed their student athletes to take fake classes and punish current Penn State players that had nothing to do with sick individuals doing the unthinkable to kids...

If an Olympian wants to go to college to compete in their sport then they can’t get sponsors. I can’t remember which one it was but either Katie Ledecky or Missy Franklin turned down sponsors to be able to compete in swimming in college, it might’ve even been both of them that turned down sponsors to be able to compete in swimming in college.

Sure but Kyla Ross, a part of the “Fab Five” group of gymnasts toured the country, made appearances, is in a Wheatie’s box, etc. Unless she virtuously turned down royalties and money for ALL of those things...Now she’s flipping for UCLA.

Thats reassuring So Cal, because I had the same thought as you and Denver. I kept trying to remember him injuring his knee vs UNC but drew a blank. Then the thing w/Ayton came out and the 100 grand and fact he and "Bags" were on same hs team....One cant help but wonder...

However K's track record tells me if a kid and/or their parents ever said "how much you offering coach?" K retorts "we dont do things like that here." Has any coach ever had more to LOSE with such a mark on their record as Mike Krzyzewski??? No way.....

How about Lance Thomas $100,000 jewelry purchase? Blue blood schools always get treated differently when violations come up until now lets see what happens now that so many big time programs are being exposed.It has been going on forever.

Lance bought/borrowed that with agent money, and wasn’t it after the season was over?. Duke has zero ties to that directly. Who gives a crap what the kid buys himself with money an agent gave him?
