October 13, 201510 yr If Andre was supplying the coin for this, that is one big concern out of the way for the Cards. No booster or school money used. I'm not an expert at NCAA infractions, but I'm not sure how if it is just McGee's money that it makes things any better. I'm pretty sure that a coach can't give a recruit a T-shirt while on a visit, so pretty sure paying for hookers would be out of the question as well.

I can't speak for the NCAA, but as a fan and a UofL graduate, I'm certainly not nearly as uncomfortable with the whole situation when it's a 25-year-old employee trying to act like a big shot than if it had turned out some booster or older coach was tossing him cash for these parties.
October 13, 201510 yr It's because they are white. No way I'm inviting the white guy to the prostitue party. He'll just want to take a bunch of selfies.
October 13, 201510 yr At no point in his time at UL was he a bench assistant. He was a grad assistant and then director of operations. Making that much as a DOBO is crazy... For some reason that just doesn't seem that crazy to me. Is this typically a 50-60k job?
October 13, 201510 yr Asked around a little more, and while it is high it isn't out of the ordinary for the power programs. Number I got for the job at UK is in the 225K range. Arizona, Texas, Ohio State and the like are in the 75-100K range. So, 100K is crazy high for about 98% of the sport, but on par with the top 2%... This makes sense.

I get that. I'm just looking for the standpoint of a possible NCAA penalty. I don't think they will care whether or not the head coach knew of any extra benefits or not or who paid for it, if they can prove that someone on the basketball staff did, than that should be enough to warrant some type of punishment.
October 13, 201510 yr What's your explanation for the extra 50K he was getting compared to what GT said his salary should be? Maybe he was good at it.........:sssh:
October 14, 201510 yr Did the actual print edition ever come out of this book? They supposedly have pushed it back to the beginning of next week. They have also promised that there will be a lot of info in the print version that, for whatever reason, wasn't put in the online version... :idunno:

October 14, 201510 yr Reason: to sell more books. Right. But if it turns out there's nothing new in the print version, that will be found out soon, and their story will continue to fade from the original allegations.
October 14, 201510 yr I would bet there's more in the print version. That's what happens when you rush something together and try to break it before you have the project completed.
