That's a noble goal. How do you propose that be accomplished?

Research the contractor(s) being used.

Call the US embassy or nearest consulate, and/or the American Commerce Club of Beijing, Shanghai or wherever.

Find and contact organizations that monitor such crimes.

Visit the production site unannounced.

Ideally, this would be done before starting production - with follow ups from time to time.

2025 Transfer Portal News/Recruiting

B
The transfer portal doesn't play favorites - it really does not matter if you are winning or losing on the court - players are going to leave your program. Take a look at some of these teams:

UCLA - They had a dream season. Final Four - Finished 34-3. SIX players, including their entire freshmen class - GONE to the portal.
USC - Another dream season - 4 players entered the portal - including a pair of pivotal freshmen.
Notre Dame - 4 in the portal.
IU - 6 in the portal

Now sure - UCLA and USC still have a ton coming back and will surely reload - but the portal is going to take kids - several most likely - year in and year out - no matter if you're winning or losing the court.

Looks like Waddell is still in the portal. Any chance he comes back as there could be a path to playing time with Heide and Colvin gone?

6'7" wing with handles.

I would guess the parting was mutual, so I’d be surprised if he comes back. Unlike Heide who I think would’ve been able to come back. Also, not seeing any path to playing time, talent just isn’t there imo. Waddell might even have to go down a division if he wants a scholarship.

Playing 10 guys is unnecessary

Not if it lets you play at 100% intensity for 40 minutes. Several of the teams that gave us hard times played 10 guys against us. And kept the energy and intensity ramped up.
You didn't see tired guys on the floor for Purdue this year? At times? I sure did.
8 was not quite enough.
And not if your starting guys getting overmatched at times by super quick and long defenders. If only we had a couple of OTHER guards that are really tight defensively and could pressure full court at full intensity those opposing guards and help wear THEM out so they can't dog on Braden and Fletch so much.
Oh wait, we DO.....

Transfer and Benter and West and it seems highly likely that Matt really may have a 10 deep.
We may find out if he's got it in him.

Catchings In Portal

Unlike scholarships, NIL can be given, and NIL can be taken away. The NCAA cannot regulate it. If a high profile recruit is promised NIL money to sign with a school, but doesn't meet expectations, he can keep his scholarship, but lose the real reason he signed.

Probably happened to some of IU’s mercenaries when DeVries took over.

Going off what you’re saying I really don’t understand the reasoning behind increasing scholarship limits to 15. 13 was already plenty. Seems like the only thing it will do is hurt the smaller schools by allowing the big schools to hoard more talent. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

He manufactures in China because it is way too expensive to manufacture in the United States and still make money for the products he sells. U.S. manufacturing is pretty expensive believe it or not, particularly because we have to pay our workers a lot more. If you add that to the amount Amazon takes for using their platform to sell, it's just really tough for a small business. It's a newer business that can't keep up with these changes, so probably won't be able to last through the turmoil to obtain any benefits Trump is promising. But, again, I think his business may just be one that Trump thinks America shouldn't have, so maybe it's good.

Has he ensured his product is not made with slave and child labor, and in safe conditions?
