  Bilas was the guest I believe. He said college football has a cheating problem wherein players get off shore accounts and use debit cards. This makes the money untraceable. Crazy.

    Oh, the fact cheating happened is no surprise. But no one talking about it. No one investigating. Strange. Unless the feds are using NCAABB to test the waters.

  He covers college basketball which is a cesspool of cheating. And he went to Duke which is not looking so clean in these investigations. Pretty sure I read this week that a player who ended up at Duke had related parties that were looking for money. So IMO he’s trying to move the conversation elsewhere.

    Zion Williamson was the recruit’s name (and with a name like Zion it’s a wonder he didn’t end up at SUU what with a national park of the same name so close by). But Bilas has a point, why wouldn’t college football not be cheating. There is much more money involved.

      More money, but more people. It’s easier to buy 5 stars for basketball than to buy 20+ stars for football. On top of that, it is easier to keep a few basketball players quiet than it would be to keep a team full of 100 football players from talking.
      
      Not saying there isn’t cheating, but I don’t think it is as rampant in football as it is in basketball.

        Disagree. It is just as bad. 10 years from now Saban will be revealed as a cheater.

        He may be revealed as a cheater, but it will be regarding a handful of players per year over the course of 20-ish years. In basketball it is much, much worse.
