[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 584345, member: 1776"] It was pretty clear extracurricular's were going on at L'ville. From stripper parties in the dorm to kids being paid to attend school there (which Pitino may actually not have known about), there's plenty of evidence for that at L'ville. The trials have exposed very little partially because the government's case required making the assertion that the Universities were victims, so they didn't want most of the detail out there. it also only looked at Adidas, which frankly is running a significantly smaller operation than Nike. if you wanted me to guess i'd say more than 50% of power conference schools are breaking NCAA rules. But with L'ville, the bigger issue to me isn't whether they were paying kids - it's that they have a much more significant history than GT and put alot more resources into their basketball program than GT does. They pay Mack by himself over $4M. Our entire personnel budget is under $3M. They have alot more money to spend on basketball and they do so. That was what I was referring to, way more than any payments to players. Schools that are deciding to put significant resources into their basketball programs are the ones that are and will continue to do well. it starts with being willing to pay for a HC and his assts. Then it goes to giving bigger budgets for recruiting and facilities. That's a big reason UGA had a big recruiting class. With all their FB money the SEC has decided to spend more on BB and it will pay off for them. UGA is paying Crean and his assts over $4M yr. Book Richardson is on tape saying it is hard to recruit against SEC schools because alot of the kids are getting 30, 40K to go to school. Even if he is exaggerating some I don't doubt they are plenty of kids who should not be eligible by current NCAA rules. GT has largely been trying to play basketball on the cheap and as long as it does there is a ceiling to what it can do. [/QUOTE]
