Avenatti's credibility not the best right now, true. But then again, everyone rolled their eyes and said, "Oh, it's just Jose Canseco" when he said a lot of MLB players were on the juice.

Even guys with issues are right sometimes.

Of course, it's just whining to think shady action might have something to do with uo's sudden success in attracting 5-star basketball talent.

Not too hard to believe given that schools get paid huge sums for athletic/supposed athletic non-athletes so they can get in to school? I mean you couldn't pay me to go to lsdtr but well, money talks and 5* athletes can earn a lot for their schools.

Besides, it's sorta boring reading the same stories that we were reading 40-50-60+ years ago. Rattle a few car keys at a UCLA game?

tsdtr doesn't need to directly pay - offer as sweet, do-nothing job for the parents as a Nike employee, everything is kosher - and we know that happens.

Even still, they appear to still be going the full-cash angle anyway - this isn't the only recent accusation. e.g. www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/louisville/2018/10/02/lawyer-more-schools-tried-pay-brian-bowen-commitment/1498942002/

What I have noticed is that nobody is claiming we are paying any players; where's all our well-heeled alumni willing to grease some palms to improve our tourney chances?!

GO BEAVS!

I fully believe Avenatti is likely telling the truth about the payments AND that Avenatti tried to extort NIKE. The two are not mutually exclusive, hopefully investigators will realize this.

Agreed. they are actually both a type of corruption, so it's not hard to believe that both are in practice.
