More and more articles coming out about the out and out criminal behavior of shoe companies like Adidas and now Nike paying players and family members thousands of dollars to get them play for certain teams on the AAU circuit and influence then into going to schools that they want them to.

Talk of payments being arranged for Zion and Langford from Indiana. So far no actual proof they made the payoffs but lots of E Mails show it was in the works. Newest one is Nike trying to arrange money for a 13 year old freshman who thanks to the rules changing to allow seniors to go straight to the NBA will probably never play college ball.

It's just obvious the college coaches and shoe companies will beg borrow and steal to get these elite players. The NCAA made the big announcement a couple of months ago that 6 programs would be getting served with notice of level one violations in a matter of weeks. So far NC State and Auburn have been identified and nothing on the others and were halfway through August.

I guess it's true another article I read that said people just don't care about these things as they've been going on for decades and virtually nothing ever happens to the cheaters including the multi millionaire coaches who as long as they win the fans totally support them.Just more evidence the NCAA is worthless
