The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole

Fixed it for you. And 100% disagree. There was zero reason to use discretion here.

This wasn't even a close call. From all accounts this wasn't even a "loan" that was paid back. It was a large cash gift.

There are folks here that are just fine with that...mercenary payments...justice and equality and something something

It's not really relevant since the NCAA knew about it and declared him eligible anyway.

forgot that cal left a few years earlier-just paying it forward?

Can we open a Scoop fund to start paying the best high school sophomores in the country to move to Milwaukee for high school? Would help in recruiting them.

Probably help more to hire Antonio Curro as an assistant.

agree. But if the NCAA knew Hardaway paid for the move, and said he was eligible, what else is there?

If the NCAA did really know all of the facts, then I have flipped on this issue.

They may have thought they knew all of the facts and then learned there were more.

Was the NCAA wrong when they invalidated the ACT score of Derrick Rose after they originally cleared him as eligible?  I mean, they did have all of the facts when they got the original score report.  Were they wrong for what they did in that case?

I guess. But the NCAA should exercise discretion because their ruling is ridiculous.

Yes. Because the NCAA has no business declaring who should be academically eligible to play.

"Officer, the government has no business declaring how fast I can go on these roads. Now be gone and stop impeding my fun."

So you want a return to the 70's and 80's: no academic standards, illiterate student athletes (Dexter Manley), under the table payments everywhere. It's so unfair athletes have to take certain courses and get at least a 2.3 gpa with a passable test score to play sports and get a scholarship. Such injustice there.

The members of the NCAA are the ones who established these rules. And now they get mad when their own rules are enforced against them. If they don't want to follow them they can forfeit the tens of millions they get from the NCAA annually and go elsewhere.

Each of those programs who had the involved players suspended (if they were still on the team).  And, in case you (conveniently) forgot, the FBI has refused to share the information needed for the NCAA to nail those coaches.

You mean those wires taps already part of the public record? Due process?  Lol. If there was a hint of me or my subordinate bribing a party for business, my arse would be on the street. Will Wade even lied about it to his superiors and got reinstated. Poor Scott Monarch and his t-shirt in comparison.

Yes. The NCAA institutions should be allowed to admit whomever they wish. Especially considering the biases in standardized testing.

The key words in the articles, assuming the media got it right, is "upon FURTHER investigation" which led to the decision.  I take that as more info came to light

Discretion how though?? He's a booster, plain and simple. If you make an exception for him, then no one can be considered a "booster" and schools like Kansas walk scott free. Now if you want to use an instance where a season ticket holder shouldn't be considered a booster...I could see that. But he played for Memphis, now he coaches there, and he gave a family money, and the kid ended up playing at Memphis. I mean if that isn't the eact definition of a booster, I don't know what would be. Even if it was 11 years ago.

Hypothetical.  If i gave my neighbor $500 because he needed it to pay his mortgage, and his five year old kid grows up becomming a top 100 basketball player, should he be disallowed to go to Marquette based on the fact that I am a "booster" since I have made donations to the University in the past?  Even if they total less than $500?
