Yes, one of the better D3 programs historically. I don't know what the success rates actually are (and this case is way different) but guys who play at a high level where they're at almost always succeed and contribute moving up a level.

Conflicting reports out but Duke may be moving on from Junior Smith, or at the very least pursuing other point guards for that class. **** Cal
UNC just needs to be happy they're gonna land Seventh and be done with any NC talent for that year

To touch on my last post, looks like Derryck Thornton and Kobi Simmons are the targets.
Giles and Tatum aren't mentioning Smith now in their "package deal" fwiw

UNLV is getting on all these list for highly rated guys but seem to be getting no love from the big time local guys.

I don't think Michigan will take a 2015 recruit now with Duncan Robinson on board. They also got a commit from Jon Teske yesterday. Seems like the stretch 5 that Beilien likes but can also work with his back to the basket.

Welp NCAA just lost the O'Bannon case, NCAA inhibiting schools from paying players is an anti trust violation according to the judge. (like I've been saying)
college sports is about to change whether you like it or not.

By the time they exhaust their appeals and this undoubtedly ends up in the Supreme Court it will be a while before effects are seen.The NCAA will drag this out as long as possible.

This will be in litigation hell for a while, they won't out without a fight. Sucks cause I want my ncaa football and basketball games.

The NCAA can drag this out as long as they want so long as the end result is kids getting paid what they are due. If its fifteen years before we see the change in place, its still a win. A big day in sports.
Just curious, you guys think the payouts will be flat equal for all players on the squad or will the stars get more lucrative "deals"? I understand the NCAA cannot set up payout caps below the cost of attendance at the university (so to some degree, the low is set) but in terms of recruiting the next known Wiggins, Parker, Clowney, etc. these deals would surely be a deciding factor if some are more profitable than others.

I don't agree with the minimum based on attendance thing simply because the varying price of attendance at different schools...This whole thing is one giant pandoras box..The ruling only applies to Division I Football and Mens basketball,what happens when the womens basketball team sues because their names and likenesses are being used also but not receiving any compensation...Or women start wanting to join the football team so they can receive compensation,or players from other sports get mad because they aren't receiving any money.

On a semi related note...how do UK fans feel about potential life after Calipari? Are ya'll worried about all the penalties and sanctions coming down the minute he dips?

The level of complication is so overstated.
1. Women and other sports can sue all they want but if the sports don't generate profits then they will be entitled to a percentage of zero.
2. You can "want to join the football team" all you want nothing other than their inability to compete is stopping women from being on college football teams, if I remember correctly college squads have had female kickers.
They aren't going to stop playing college sports, ultimately colleges willl spend less money on arenas, and ridiculous practice facilities and spend it on players.
I read the rulling, The NCAA should be breathing a sigh of relief, the players are likely going to appeal.
The judge declared restricting payments outside of scholarship to zero to be an anti trust, but she said capping it to $5000 wouldn't be. The players have to appeal that, she doesn't really have the power to determine what the cap should be.
The NCAA doesn't want to face reality but really if I told them at the beginning of this you only have to pay the players up to $5000 they would be jumping for joy.

Thought that would be a reality this summer. Can't believe Coach Cal didn't dip for Cleveland. The timing, money, and opportunity were picturesque.

Nahh,I don't think anything will happen,I think he's running a clean program or as clean as anybody else(Word to UNC)When you're one of the most scrutinized programs in the country it's hard to get away with things,not impossible but hard...Just yesterday the AD did a radio interview on KSR and said he believes Cal will end his career at UK..Granted the NBA has the prestige,the Cavs have Lebron,and Cal probably has a chip on his shoulder from that mess with the Nets,UK will throw anything and everything at him to get him to stay they finally found a coach the fan base likes,Tubby was respected but not liked and Gillispie was pretty much universally hated.Around here Cal is basically God plus he's about to get a slice of the 210 million dollar media deal so his pay is about to go up a lot..

Will Cleveland's initial offer stand, more referencing the length and money involved in the initial contract.
