I think it was one of those offers that got rescinded after he turned them down. Kinda like Charlie being your 1st choice.  

I think your wrong!

Mack's research is not UT quality.  And Jurich was never offered the job, but wanted the job.  Just like Briles.  Thankful we didn't hire either.

Hopefully this will topple the AAU circuit and bring some balance back to amateur basketball.

I think I read that an AAU coach with ties to adidas was arrested as well. Did anyone else see that?

Kansas?

Just hope none of the universities that we root for become involved in this - I also agree this will be ugly and deep and might dispel the innocence of the NCAA recruiting world in all sports.

I'm only speculating, but I doubt this type of corruption in the NCAA is limited to basketball.  Does anyone else think that the probe may extend to college football?

It’s does but the AAU circuit is a different animal and individual players make a big difference.

It’s sneaker companies in basketball.  Definitely a different animal.   There is not near the money in any sport other than basketball in shoes.  Bron & KD make more than 30 mil a year in sneaker endorsements alone.  Bryce Harper signed the biggest shoe deal in baseball history with UA for one million a year over 10 years.  A million a year is also a great deal for football.  Kids don’t buy cleats to wear to school.  But walk the halls and see how many Kobe’s or Jordans you see. 

Football is more of a booster issue, as Mack was saying. 

By the way, has nothing to do with AAU which is an organization that sponsors all kinds of youth sports.  So far Adidas and Nike, which have circuits along with UA, have garnered most of the attention.

Thanks for the clarification Hoops.  Glad Skechers isn't involved.  Btw, they don't pay me nothing to wear them.

Pitino suing Addidas for emotional distress.  He’s claiming he didn’t know anything.  If he’s lying or not this will be bad.  Everything will come out in court.  The school and Addidas may just pay him to keep some things hidden.

Skechers don't get the respect they deserve. Putting the hush puppies out to pasture!
