That is what hung Will Wade his first time at LSU. Dumbass got recorded talking about paying a player.
The paper trail from the Adidas scandal brought down a lot of folks. But I don’t remember hearing another head coach incriminate themselves on an FBI wiretapped line. But Will Wade sure did. That is either hubris or stupidity. Just like this current situation.

As soon as the athletics became something people would pay for and schools would profit from its hard to see how that's going to stay amateur by nature. There's too much desire to win.
Do you think that pro players should be allowed to come play in college? Right now you have some guys that have played professional basketball for years trying to come play college basketball.
I see that as being a tad different than paying an 18 year old high schooler to come play for a team.

Doesn't seem very innovative really
Off the top of my head Michigan relied upon Yaxel Lendeborg and Aday Mara to win a championship
Wade is filling up the roster with what is available. There are schools paying huge money to five star high school kids and there are guys like Wade picking up veterans who have been floating around.
The Aday Mara guy on Michigan started playing professionally when he was 16. Is that different?
What's the objective rule we should enforce? It isn't amateur status when they all get paid. Apparently you can get 7 or 8 years of eligibility from the NCAA now. Maybe the NCAA could get serious about academic progress? I'm skeptical that they do that properly.

It would be inappropriate if the college players were amateur players. But they aren't. The high school kids even get paid. The really good European players are getting paid before they turn 18. There aren't any amateur players in the higher tiers of college sports people pay money to watch

Yaxel Lendebourg never played pro, he played 3 years at a community college, 2 years at UAB, and his final year at Michigan.

European pros should not be allowed to play college basketball. Freshmen 18 year olds should not be facing guys 8-10 years older who have years of professional basketball under their belt.
If you think that coaches should be allowed to fill out their roster with the best, what if Alabama decides to pay Brandon Miller enough money to come back?

Love him or hate him, don't care. Wade has a personal vendetta against the NCAA; he's now exploiting their own rules against them and as an LSU fan, I am down for the ride.

Do you really think all NCAA basketball players are receiving NIL? If so, we can just stop this conversation now.
If you believe what you say, that there are zero amateur athletes, then colleges should be allowed to play anyone they want. Even current NBA players. Even current NFL players. The best that money will buy.

Jeff Goodman likes cock more than Aggie fans. You think Will Wade is the only one doing this?
And this embarrassing melt only proves that Will Wade is doing great. The entire sport is beyond scared of him.

He's just another older player who isn't really an student and floated from college to college as a mercenary. Perhaps I am being unfair but I view the one and dones and the floaters who transfer repeatedly as just another type of professional athlete masquerading as amateur student athletes
If he graduated with a serious major he actually earned I would take it back.
I just don't think 99% of the starting players on competitive teams are what we can honestly call either amateur or student athletes. They got paid. They move from place to place to better professional opportunity and they seldom seem serious about the education part that is supposed to define them

So you fault a guy who played three years at a community college for transferring to UAB. And you fault him for playing two seasons at UAB, graduating, and then transferring to Michigan because he had a one final year of eligibility left due to covid.
You do realize Lendebourg graduated from UAB before he transferred to Michigan? That would seem to rule out your mercenary description.
And you consider that equivalent to a guy playing college basketball for a few years, entering the NBA draft, playing professional basketball for a couple seasons, and then returning to college. That is what you are arguing.
How much money do you think Lendebourg raked in playing 5 seasons at a community college and UAB?
Consider this.
Lendebourg is leaving college basketball at the age of 23. He is leaving with an associate degree from Arizona Western College, a bachelor degree from UAB, and a national championship ring from Michigan.
LSU is trying to bring in 5 guys who are 23-25 years old.

The NCAA is letting them all play. I don't particularly like it but if we're five or more decades into kids pretending to get college educations and getting paid it's hard to mobilize any outrage over kids getting to come back and get paid by the colleges.
What I wish is functionally impossible (or at least very unlikely). I wish the ability to participate in the NCAA was actually dependent upon getting a real education. If you really convinced me the kids (18 or 24) were going to school and getting a real degree I would be happy with the rest of the pretense of morality. I just don't believe most of the kids are leaving with that in return for working for the school

Alabama didn’t fire Nate Oats for being caught on an FBI wiretap paying players
Will Wade was heard on a wire tap discussing Javonte Smart. LSU suspended Smart until the NCAA investigation was complete. The NCAA cleared Smart to play after missing only 1 game because they found no evidence that he took money.
John Calipari lost his mind because Smart chose hometown LSU's "offer" over Calipari's offer.
