Do you remember the last thread on UofL hookers? I'm interested to see how squeaky clean a certain poster continues to think these victims . . . I mean players are.

I love his quote regarding the unexpected signing of Brian Bowen...

"We got lucky on this one," Pitino told Meiners at the time. "I had an AAU director call me and ask me if I'd be interested in a player. I saw him against another great player from Indiana. I said 'Yeah, I'd be really interested.' They had to come in unofficially, pay for their hotel, pay for their meals. We spent zero dollars recruiting a five-star athlete who I loved when I saw him play. In my 40 years of coaching this is the luckiest I've been."
It funny, I can just perfectly picture a mob boss sitting behind a heavy wooden desk talking to the feds saying almost exactly these words. "I swear, the gold bars just fell off the truck right into my lap."

But I am more concerned that we are making a federal crime of every activity. It is only up to an aggressive prosecutor or making the wrong person or group of people angry and the crime already exists.

It is not that I am saying that what the big guys are alleged to have done is right but rather just because an act is unethical does it need to be illegal. Just because an act is stupid does it have to be against the law.

Good that the unethical activities of those accused are revealed. Though most of those who really care already knew the unethical activities were going on. But should this really be a federal crime?
I truly appreciate a healthy dose of skepticism with everything, thanks for that interjection.
