[cornercommission2k12]

shyt thats all he asked for?

food clothing and shelter and a mans 1st priority. told the recruiters if your going to exploit my talents i want compensation and security for my family. asking for a job was noble and shows he has integrity. i hope no fake outrage comes from this.

Sad thing is if this story get legs, which it probably will, Duke will throw Zion so far under the bus

Bama moved Tua Talajdsljalgua family to Bama and gave them jobs/housing. You can't be blatant and give cats cash, but getting boosters/alums/supporters to do shyt like that which isn't "technically" illegal is the way to go. "Company" housing, "Company" car, and a bullshyt job to funnel cash to your people thru in large amounts is how you get down.

shyt ain't gonna stop.

You're only worth what a mufukka is willing to pay you and obviously these cats are worth a shyt ton of money which is why this stuff goes on. B-B-B-But student athletes my ass.
B-B-But you gettin a free edumacation!!

fukk outta my face. these cats are making your school MILLIONS and that's why yall doing all this dirty shyt under the table to get them on your teams and campus.

Duke didn't give him money. They game the system too, but if you think that program is doing it as crudely and brazenly as these other ones, you're crazy. I could tell you so many stories... shyt, one dude I knew about wasn't even a top 10 recruit, and a school down south called his father to let him know there was a truck waiting for him in a parking lot in the city the school was in. He flew in, picked up the truck, and there was a note inside: "check the trunk." 125k in a bag. His quote to my homeboy: "It was an 8 hour drive back home, and I ain't never drove so carefully."

And that's not even getting into how much sneaker money has always been flying around the travel circuit.

if they didn't give him cash, but "helped" his parents get better jobs and shyt, that isn't really illegal. They got Chris Duhon's mom a job to leave Louisiana and move to Durham making a crazy amount of money for a job she wasn't remotely qualified for. I ain't e'en mad. Get your money sista. Getting someone a job isn't really an impermissible benefit

Bend but don't break the rules.

Church.

Most schools aren't that dumb to blatantly fukk up like that. They let the boosters do the dirty work on the low.

I been telling yall what Duke do because my connections. They give the Black and white players access to the wealthy alums and they don't mind giving them business partnerships once they graduated or otherwise leave school. It's basically, a guaranteed means to wealth. That means a lot to any kid and his family. It's like a lottery ticket and all benefit. Not just the stars but the scrubs too. Laettner and Davis made 9 figures post Basketball. Duke is really a legit brotherhood. You not a slave at Duke like all of the public schools which only care about you while you there.

As long as Duke is like this, it will always dominate recruiting and kids will want to go there.

This is all coach K. He realized that kids want success and not just on the court and since alums are giving and love the team, this has been happening of late. That's while the players former and current are so vested into the program

 

[Trust Me]

If you want to get paid go to the BBB league. Don't try to soil the purity that is NCAA athletics

 

[Elim Garak]

They should be getting paid I have no issue with this

Duke gives players money through boosters and the promises of jobs/careers/always be taken care of. No doubt in my mind Zion is/was compensated handsomely to be there.

There’s no way in hell you land the top 3 players in the same class (and they all play the same position) without money

Duke Basketball do not give money breh. Not sure about other sports but Basketball doesn't do that.

The NCAA needs to pay their players a salary. They generate enough money to do it. Even if its something like 50000/yr thats enough for kids to live comfortably and not have to beg for extra meatballs on their fukkin spaghetti.
