- This is just astounding. A basketball player playing basketball. A real “threat to integrity.”Source: Houston senior guard Rob Gray has been suspended one game by the NCAA for participating in a church rec league game this offseason. He will not play in @UHCougarMBK season opener tonight against McNeese State.
- The players provide the NCAA members free labor that is sold for billions during the entire season.The NCAA provides free wi-fi to student-athletes at all of the team hotels during the DI men's basketball championship.
- 16 years ago today, LeBron played his first ever game on national TV... and, in bigger news, Jay Bilas had magnificent hair.
00:00 - Only athletes are presumed guilty, immediately suspended, and must prove themselves innocent. Quite a contrast to coaches facing allegations in the FBI investigations and federal prosecutions...they are presumed innocent until proven guilty. What an amazing concept.Ohio State is holding out defensive end Chase Young, a Heisman Trophy contender, for a potential undisclosed violation of NCAA rules, the university announced Friday. es.pn/2qxLDtS
- UCF is 13-0 after beating Auburn, but had no shot to compete for the National Championship. Every game counts, huh? Not so much. Scott Frost and UCF should’ve been in the playoff.
- A playoff system that leaves out an unbeaten team, and ranks that team 12th (behind 3 loss teams), is NOT legitimate. Every game counts? Nah.
I’m sorry Sister Jean but fans don’t belong on the court. Jay Bilas will be sending you to Alcatraz- Coaches getting in a postgame fight. Not players, coaches. Calling timeout and pressing in a blowout instead of running out the clock, and can’t shake hands without acting like big babies. Weak and foolish. There are multiple degrees of culpability, none more than Howard. Awful.
- Hey NCAA: since you have now admitted that college athletes are professional, how about righting past wrongs and reinstating the records of Reggie Bush, the Fab Five, and countless others you mistreated over the phony concept of amateurism? It was unfair then, and clearly so now.
