Louisville coach Rick Pitino was asked about Bowen's commitment in June.

"We got lucky on this one," Pitino said at the time. "I had an AAU director call me and say, 'Would you be interested in a basketball player?' I said ... 'Yeah, I'd be really interested.' But [Bowen and his people] had to come in unofficially, pay for their hotels, pay for their meals. So we spent zero dollars recruiting a five-star athlete who I loved when I saw him play. In my 40-some-odd years of coaching, this is the luckiest I've been."

Things that make you go :thinking:

They need to pay college players and stop pretending they're amateurs.

agree. if the Universities are going to cash in.. then the players need to be compensated.

honestly, the whole situation is a gigantic mess and has hundreds of layers.

long story short answer - the NCAA is shady as hell

Sadly you're right. I love college sports but the universities should not be in charge of running these massive business, which is what they are now.
