What fraud? The players and their families got some market value for the players' skills, the schools got top recruits, and the sneaker company boosted the reputation of schools they sponsor and potential future endorsers.

Almost all the big mane programs. Most of them are smart enough to put enough distance between the head coach and the families to have plausible deniability.

Pitino, Jim Calhoun, Jim Boeheim, and John Calipari are/were some of the sleaziest of all.

Boeheim had a child sex abuser on his staff that took little boys on road trips, yet claimed he knew nothing about the abuse.

It’s also possible that some of the kids who’s parents were paid to steer them to a particular school didn’t know the parents got paid. If the money was big, that’s not likely because the kid would notice that their parents all of a sudden had some nice stuff.

I agree. Someone needs to challenge these criminal statutes as a violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These statutes only serve to allow colleges and the NCAA to protect their monopoly and billions of dollars in revenue.

I’ve read that their is talk of the NBA forming a “G” League so kids with NBA potential can make up to $150K for one year before being drafted. Only problem with that is that some of those same kids can make more money going to college for a year.
