College basketball is for suckers/Jaylen Brown likely to Kentucky negbang

Submitted by Erik_in_Dayton on

Following college basketball means Michigan having to take down two Final Four banners when Duke has twice made the Final Four while (likely) playing ineligible players.  http://straighthoops.com/articles_9.html

Following college basketball means losing Mitch McGary for a year b/c he tested positive for marijuana once even when McGary's punishment in AA for being caught with a small amount of the stuff would have cost him nothing more than a $25 fine.

Following college basketball means losing recruits to a school - Kentucky - that openly flaunts the luxury apartments that its players live in.  http://larrybrownsports.com/college-basketball/kentuckys-housing-chef-flat-screens/153247

I'm mad as heck, and I'm...going to sit here and be mad for a few more minutes!  I say this calls for a negbang!

I don't see how it's ok to have a special basketball players only mansion-dorm. Why not just say everyone who's lucky to win a spot in the mansion-dorm also gets a free Camaro and $50,000?

Don't even tell me those guys attend real classes. Forget Kentucly

...the players aren't allowed per NCAA rules to live in dorms that aren't also available to students.  Kansas, to my knowledge, gets around this by having really nice dorms that athletes but also some students live in.  Kentucky's basketball dorm apparently takes that a step further - there are no non-athlete students, it seems.

Here's what I'm hoping:  Brown is already a silent commit to UM, and Sam and Bacari and just messing with people to have a little fun.

This is true about following college sports in general. I mean, a pretty bad dude just for drafted number 1 in the NFL while Devin Gardner will be lucky to catch on as a FA. It sucks, but Michigan will be fine.

Back when I was in AA, late '70s, it was only a $5 fine and you could pay by mail. Back in '70s there was no drug testing for athletes either, which was good thing. That's all I'm going to say about that even with the statute of limitations.

Of course now it's legal in my state and the sun still comes up every day.

I hope its just to make "The hat dance" more interesting. Its like these recruits didn't just see him get out coached for the championship with a better team. Duke was good but Kentucky was loaded.
