Would Fran pay $200K for a commitment?

The rumors/sources that have Davis choosing Kentucky are also alleging that the commitment cost $200,000. Davis Sr. has flat out denied everything.

Doesn't sound like Calipari at all... weird...

I hope not. Don't quote me on this but I think paying players in college is against the rules or something. I think I heard that somewhere once.

I dunno if I would pay 200K for a commitment, but if things don't pick up soon I might be willing to pay $50.00.

You don't pay cash.

You find a donor to make a donation to a non-profit boys & girls club which happens to sponsor an AAU basketball team and employ family members or handlers of the athlete.

Then, not only is it sleazy and borderline legal by NCAA standards...it's tax deductible!

Calipari needs to be taken down!

Sweet! I'm always looking for ways to take another tax deduction!

I HATE Calipari

I used to like Calipari, but he is a joke. What is the NCAA going to do to Kentucky when their graduation rate is zero? Oh wait, the NCAA is too worried about expansion and making more money to care. All Coach Cal does is get programs on probation, Kentucky will be no different.

What is amazing is that 6 months ago no one had heard of Davis. He just exploded on the scene this spring and those around him quickly figued out who plays the game...the money game. Coach Cal will find a way. If the kid leaves after one year, bad investment,probably.

 

[PCBHAWK]

Calipari is not a good coach.

He messed up on a crutial time out in the title game a few years back.

It seems like cheaters win in big time college sports, and it goes way back.

I dont think this story is accurate or true. The article has now been taking down and another reporter is bashing the one who released this story

Irresponsible report suggests Kentucky paid 200K for Anthony Davis - The Dagger - NCAAB - Yahoo! Sports

 

[fufred]

I don't buy the report for a second, Coach Cal never likes to spend more than 50k for a commitment. Ask Derrick Rose's family.....

This is fantastic. They get threatened by Kentucky, do more "research", and come up with the father asked other schools for money as well.

Father responds, "Thanks for ruining my son. Thank you very much."

No buddy if this is true, you ruined your own son for his college career possibly with your own greed that couldn't wait a few years...

Please explain the article to me as I never read it, I just couldn't get past staring at the massive Unibrow.

I know, I had a hard time with that one too!
