TMZ Strikes Again- Kentucky Basketball Players Subject of NCAA Probe?

KU players in trouble!!!

My daughter's face says it all.

 

And Cleveland State prepares for another flogging.

 

Kansas is in trouble?

 

UK possibly being investigated isn't much of a shock. I just wanted to point out that TMZ appears to have it first.

 

I don't know about any of you, but I always try to use 'insinuation' in news reports as often as possible.

 

I heard Don King say "insinuendo" once and thought, "If that's not a word, it should be!"

 

Without more info, I'm not sure how much they actually "have" here with just some vague contention that the NCAA is "interested" in four players.

And my guess is this largely relates to already known allegations that have been floating around for quite awhile. The NYT already reported a few weeks ago that Bledsoe's eligibility is being investigated, and I'd bet the agent allegation is about the relationship of Wall's agent with that Clifton character who was Wall's AAU coach and HS handler.

And I'm sure one of the "current players" is Enes Kanter. The kid briefly played in one of highest paying professional leagues in Europe. He claims he's still an amateur because he received no salary for that time, but there are lots of rumors that he was paid for it under the table.

 

Correctamundo.
