[QUOTE="ESPNjacket, post: 402994, member: 2775"] There was no evidence linking Pitino to the strippers either. Free Rickie! Buffers. I think you are underestimating the influence of the "amateurism" narrative. The NCAA isn't good at much but it is good at selling the idea that the only way college sports can work is through scholarships. Remember a few years ago when the stipends were passed? There were people threatening to never buy tickets again if the players got a couple hundred dollars per month for miscellaneous expenses, despite what was called laundry money being the norm back in the '50s. That narrative is strong. Most people don't realize that the NCAA started using the "student-athlete" term in the '50s in order for the members to avoid the potential of having to pay workman's compensation. This is straight from Walter Byers. [/QUOTE]
