There were rumors out there that Heron's father was asking for 100,000 up front and 4,000 a month for as long as he was in college.

Bruce pearl is as dirty as it comes.

I believe it. Slice couldn't even land him and him and his pops was close. Heron visits one time and all of a sudden loves Auburn? They're involved with another kid from Brooklyn who his dad was mentoring. Mullin probably thought he wasn't worth that much.

Calipari doesn't pay recruits, get over it. He gets them to the NBA and then they make millions. He doesn't need to entice them by paying them under the table. Haters are mad he won't be named in this investigation.

thats stupid. $40k aint shyt to a 4/5 star recruit. the amount of publicity and attention you get from college is ridiculous.

uh, it's call disruption, nothing stupid about it. you're short sighted if you can't see how that would work.

aint nobody saying everything would change overnight...but if all the 5 star talent goes from high school to the minors, they'd be in the same position as college. tv would be forced to pick up these games since this is where the talent would be. college stardom/publicity/attention only exists because that's the only viable place top high school talent can go. if all the d-1 power conference talent was in a minor league, that's where eyes will be. furthermore they'd be free to accept the gifts, cash, etc. from agents/boosters, could have endorsements, and make money off their name - appearances, autographs, jersey sales, etc. can't take people seriously who don't see how a changing the paradigm to something like this (minor leagues) is immensely better for at least college football and basketball players.

if the minors really popped off, it would also pressure the NCAA to change their rules - let kids who had a "pro career" still be eligible for scholarships. kids could still go to play for NCAA teams AFTER the minors when it's clear they're not getting drafted. a 21-26 yr old would have a few more years to play ball/live in the limelight, they at least earned some money during their semi pro career, they'd be more focused on school and the life it can provide afterward since they now chose that path, NCAA teams would still exist just with slightly older talent, kids wouldn't be banging up their bodies, suffering career-ending injuries with nothing to show for it, and lastly, it might provide yet one more chance to gain the attention of NFL scouts.
