- U.S. isn’t worrying about Canada and missile defence, says Obama adviser, Ipolitics.ca, January 11, 2018.
3. It feels like every day another NBA player or coach is speaking out against the ostensible corruption in college basketball.
In the wake of Yahoo Sports' story on the findings of an FBI investigation that exposed potential NCAA violations involving high-profile players and programs, Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy called the NCAA “the worst organization in sports.” Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball said “everybody knows everybody’s getting paid.”
LeBron James, whose words carry as much weight as anyone's in the sport, labeled the organization “corrupt.”
James didn’t offer a solution for fixing the integrity of the college game, but he’s not alone in believing an expanded and fortified G League could be a realistic alternative for high school players debating whether to enroll in college.
James didn’t attend college, heading straight from high school to the NBA before the league installed the one-and-done rule in 2006. Non-international drafted players must now be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft and be at least one year removed from the graduation of their high school class.
“Obviously, I’ve never been a part of it, so I don’t know all the ins and outs about it,” James said. “I do know what five-star athletes bring to a campus, both in basketball and football. I know how much these college coaches get paid. I know how much these colleges are gaining off these kids. ... I’ve always heard the narrative that they get a free education, but you guys are not bringing me on campus to get an education, you guys are bringing me on it to help you get to a Final Four or to a national championship, so it’s just a weird thing.”
