Wow!

I think I need to read this one a couple times and let it settle in.

Couple quick notes...

First of all, could a lot of Prep schools fall into this category of collecting players, schooling them as well as developing them on the basketball court.

This would just legitimize the whole process and bring the money aspect out in the open. No more 'cheating' or trying to figure out ways to provide money and other nice things for the players and their families.

I liked this quote: "AAU is like a meat market at the top levels. A brothel with pimps might be a better description, but it comes down to who can get who paid by who at a far bigger premium than how to develop boys into men and into basketball players."

And this quote: "And then there is the NCAA. Has there ever been a more hypocritical, half ass backward organization when it comes to 'trying to protect the student athlete'?"

Anyway, good find MR.
