The best thing about that loss is UNC fans who have been so drat salty all year now have nothing to look forward to but the hope of not getting punished for a scheme that basically undermines any remaining, feeble justification for NCAA revenue sports.

When VT got Greenberg I was worried that it would start an arms race in the ACC and there'd be improved coaching across the board. Thank goodness for GT and Pitt.

Weirdness today in Raleigh: NC State assistant Bobby Lutz seemed on the verge of joining Pastner's staff at Georgia Tech, which would make some sense as Lutz is a good X-and-O guy and Pastner is...not. But right after that story circulated there was another one saying that Lutz was moving on from the basketball team, but only because he'd been kicked up into administration, where he will now serve as NC State's "Special Assistant to the Deputy Athletic Director for External Operations." Anyway, looks like State might now try to hire Florida Gulf Coast coach Joe Dooley to be the new main assistant and possible future replacement if Gottfried does well enough to move on to something else. I dunno, whatever. Kinda funny to gently caress over Pastner on like day 1 of his ACC tenure though.

Cholmondeley posted:Not to say "I told you so," but I loving told you so. I'll say this once, and then you or anyone else can dismiss this as "hating" or NC State homerism  or whatever. I'm done with it, and it's years ago, and I believe and have believed that it's not worth punishing the actual current players (coaches, officials, AD's office etc. would be another matter, but clearly that is never going to happen):The UNC misdeeds are an inevitable outgrowth of a disgusting and deeply unethical system. They did things on a scale nobody had previously attempted, and because of that, they will largely avoid punishment. But the system cannot be allowed to escape indictment in the same way. Things must change. UNC, like many schools, treated revenue-sport players as cogs in the vast money-printing machine of college sports, in which the overwhelming bulk of labor is done by those who receive nowhere near just compensation for their thousands of hours spent. But they weren't content to stop there: when it became clear that the actual scholarship requirement was getting in the way of their scholar-athletes maintaining eligibility—the entire enabling fiction of the whole drat thing—they didn't just pump out a few fake papers, or look the other way at plagiarism, etc., they colonized an entire academic department. And not just any department: they picked African and Af-Am studies—the department most likely to teach students about the long-term nightmare that is white colonialism. All in front of a state government that is absolutely ravenous to slash away at any sort of humanities inquiry that points out the state's moral bankruptcy. When confronted by this, UNC immediately sacrificed that department as well as their women's basketball team, scapegoating them and their advisors for the sins of the entire athletic department. And that, apparently, is fine. Who really gives a poo poo, so long as those football and men's basketball bucks keep pouring in? Certainly the NCAA won't do anything; they looked right at all of this, the clear evidence that this goes back at least to the mid-90s, and they balked at the whole thing. It's too big for them. If they go after UNC for this, they might as well just disband, and then they'd have to give up their ultra-cushy jobs and perks and lifestyles. Their entire structure depends on this sort of exploitation, and they just made clear in a naked, obvious way that this will continue exactly as it has for as long as they have any say in the matter. And nobody, but nobody expected any different. That is deeply, deeply disturbing, but not even a little bit surprising—when I tutored at the student-athlete center at another ACC school, the advisors were aghast, but also unanimous in their opinions that nothing other than wrists would be slapped; everyone knows how this game is played. Sure, it's extra galling that this is all coming out of a university that held up some bullshit "Carolina Way" and claimed loudly, longly, and knowingly hypocritically to be above all this. But if you think this is about "haters" and not about ongoing racism and economic exploitation—and if you don't recognize that the victims in all of this are not UNC's athletic rivals, but rather the students who were denied the education they were promised as a condition of their labor—you are a part of the problem. And even beyond that, every non-lunatic fan of college sports owes it to themself to ask if it's all really worth it.

Bird in a Blender posted:ISU also had a guy a few years back that had to sit for a year because he allegedly got paid some money to play in Germany. I don't think he ever ended up playing a game because of all the eligibility questions. That will probably be the case here. The kid's parents say he never got paid, the team says they did pay him, etc etc. He'll be in the draft next year whether he plays a game for State or not.

The Martin twins have transferred from the Wolfpack to the Wolf Pack. This seemed like a disaster when Abu was in the draft and there were no recruits. It could still end up being pretty bad if Yurtseven doesn't get eligible. But maybe the Martins had an inkling about that? I dunno, I've given up understanding how Gottfried handles aything.

NC State picked up Markell Johnson, who signed even though he'll mostly be backing up Dennis Smith Jr this year. They're also still in on Ted Kapita, who decommitted from SMU—though there's legit concerns about him getting eligible, which kept him from going to LSU last year and was probably the reason why he couldn't go to an SMU team already in huge trouble. Still a lot of ifs about the team, especially Yurtseven's eligibility, but they no longer look like they'll be out of place in the ACC next year. elentar fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Kapita signed today. If everyone gets eligible, State can now legitimately go nine-deep. A lot of those nine will be college or ACC-unproven, but it's still a lot better than going six-deep + walk-ons like some recent years. Been a hell of a salvage job, which probably means you can put the NCAA probation on the calendar in about 3 or 4 years time.

Every statement he's made so far has minimized the very, very serious problems Baylor faces and made him sound an absolute jackass, i.e. today saying he likes a "fixer-upper." This is not an home improvement show, and you can't just slap a coat of paint on this one, Mack.

So on the upside college basketball is close enough (Nov. 11) that all the preseason stuff no longer feels horribly premature. On the downside, Grayson Allen still exists and his Ted Cruz face will be basically omnipresent on all media all season long. elentar fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Oct 20, 2016 |

The NCAA cleared Omer Yurtseven to play after he serves a nine-game suspension and pays back $1,000 to charity. Not ideal but hey, he won't miss any ACC games. Absence will be felt most during ACC/B10 at Illinois, and the potential Paradise Jam game against Creighton.
