I tuned I to the beginning of the UC Witchita State game. The color announcer was talking about the arena named Charles Koch arena. Then he slipped with a Fruedian. He said that the Koch Brothers were the mafia bosses of AAU basketball. Immediately, he began to try to recant.
Ignore the politics here. This just shows what money has done to basketball and not just the NCAA. The shoe companies, agents, NBA and wealthy donors have their big dollars in the game.
There are lots of other sugar daddies besides the two in Witchita. It does help me appreciate why their program is so strong and lately seems to be an annual NCAA tournament team.
