Was this the other shoe to drop that 'not Chico's' always talks about?

MU82 brought it up days ago.  That newsman instinct is still intact.

Glad to hear this, of course.

I dunno about that, but I saw it in like the 50th paragraph of an article on UNC's situation and had to do the old double-take!

So the MU Track team gets the hit then;)

The two shoes that were mentioned on the site were Air Jordan XXXI Lows which were issued to the team but were also made available to the public (I have a pair).

The second pair is the Air Jordan IVs which has been dubbed as the "Marquette" or "Cal" PE (player exclusives). Couple things to note about this shoe. This shoe came out with very limited release back in 2013 (no current player would have been on the roster). It was given the name "Marquette/Cal" simply due to the color scheme and the fact it followed Air Jordan IV releases for Oregon and Georgetown which featured specific logos/branding associated with the schools.

BTW the Cal/Marquette colorway is often faked:

Yeah. That's not great.

Eh.

[cheese ball chaser]

We finally get to be part of a scandal and it's for lame shoe selling?

[wadesworld]

Wojo better throw this in the PowerPoint going forward.

"You will be at 1 of 4 schools that Jordan brand gives exclusive shoes that only you and the people in this program get. Look at the demand for them, people would pay over $3K for shoes that you'll be getting for free. Only for you to wear."

We were involved in some things, but most of the younger fans don't remember. 

Al pissed off the NCAA a few times and they had investigators crawling all over campus. 

There was also a FBI investigation regarding Al and his brother, who was a notorious gambler regarding fixing of games.  No one seems to talk about that, but thankfully Coach Al was not involved.  One of his brothers had some serious gambling issues.

I believe it's at least addressed in Dick Enberg's McGuire one-man show.

It did two separate runs last year for the 100th of Marquette Basketball. No idea when it will be back. I would guess it will probably be years before we see it again. With Dick Enberg having passed, it may be less likely to see it get another run.

[Jockey]

Not a big deal even if a current player sold them. Might be suspended by the NCAA for one game. No problems for the school.

Yep.

[MU82]

With Dick Enberg having passed

Did the recipient of the pass make the layup at least?
