    Your question is irrelevant to whether there was cheating with the IU program at that time. Players were being paid. UK got in trouble because of boosters. If UK is tainted, then why not IU for the same activity? To separate would make no sense. We have punished athletes and removed their...

    So please explain how Zion's family achieved a real step up in living situation when he was at Duke if that institution was on the up and up? They were living really large after his commitment. And you have yet to explain away Chamberlain's admission. IU was cheating as well.

    Scrupulous means that one pays attention to detail. One can be scrupulous and still cheat. The proper word to use is the term "unethical" as it means that they achieved and maintained their prominence through rule-breaking. If you want to post here, you need to step up your game. As I have...

    But isn't a "blueblood" supposed to be a historically great and respected family and thus team? But if that notoriety is achieved by cheating, how is that worthy of respect? Is not the designtaion of a "blueblood" meant to be a team to be looked up to? You are dodging.

    You like to move on when you have nothing to say. In this thread, you cited programs you think have great merit. These programs have been demonstrated to be serial cheaters. So the conclusion is that they achieved their fame and maintained it through cheating. How is this admirable? If anything...

    Purdue working on a top 10 Schedule!

    I looked at the pre-season schedules. IU played three good teams: Xavier, Kansas and Arizona. They beat X close and lost the other two handily. Purdue played four: W Virginia, Duke, Gonzaga and Marquette. They won all four. How was IU's schedule better? I did not count UNC as they were not a...

    Chamberlain finished at Kansas in 1958 after playing for two years there. Posted by you in this thread: "Sampson was a stupid hire, and he did break a trivial rule, would he have went farther given the chance most likely so. one bad apple doesn't spoil 100 years of running the cleanest program...

    You are willing to accept McCracken's words but not Chamberlain's. The question in this case to be asked is: who has the interest to speak falsely? Chamberlain acknowledges that he took money improperly from Kansas. He has nothing to hide in this matter at that point; there is no reason for him...

    Your denial means nothing. Chamberlain did not attend IU. McCracken was second-choice. What is he supposed to say: "We offered him money but not enough so we did not get him." Of course, he would deny it. "Assuming it is true..." in your post is literally meaningless. Your use of logic is...

    Are you aware that in his autobiography, Wilt Chamberlain explained that he went to Kansas instead of IU because Kansas outbid IU for his services? Given that is true, your comment of "...100 years of running the cleanest program in the ncaa (sic)" is ridiculous. They bid on Chamberlain. Do you...

    Again, you are dodging the point and being inconsistent. You acknowledge that IU "...has run a clean program for years..." while acknowledging Crean's improper visits and Sampson's calls. However, you implicitly acknowledge what happened before that. It is been recognized that IU paid players...

    You assume that the journalist even knows the origin of the term. Who says that is true? Also, as was pointed out, the programs that you identified all have a recognized history of cheating. How can a program be considered great when it has a long history of cheating? The supposed "greatness"...

    It is interesting to observe that you have decided that you yourself have the authority to determine the meaning and accuracy of words, even if dictionaries define those words differently. You might explain to us exactly who granted you the right to determine the meaning and use of language for...

    To answer your post: 1. It is not my home state but I do know how to spell it; 2. A previous post has explained to you that the misspelling was done on an IU football jersey with a photo showing it; 3. Since you have been previously advised of the source and reason for the misspelling, your...

    Not really, someone bought the last ticket on the Titanic. Based on the reports of Dickinson's NIL payment, KU probably ran out of money.

    I am assuming that the "ogre" to whom you were referring is the NPOY. I get it - you don't think that he is much of a player when compared to someone who has not played one minute of college basketball. The degree of 'insight" in your post is truly breath-taking. You are clearly a member of The...

    I think that you are missing the point. In the St. Peter's game last year, Purdue was victimized by St. Peter's physically mauling Purdue, not the inverse. Your argument is contradicted by the facts. If you want to consider a more correct explanation for the Big Ten's shortfalls in the...

    Xavier Johnson will be back..

    There is much more to a university than its basketball program or even the athletic department as a whole. That seems to be something that you do not appreciate. IU had its glory days in basketball. They are over, and have been for a while. The fanbase has a hard time accepting and/or...

    Rank the top 3 B10 for 23-24 season

    Now we know that you are trolling. IU lost TJD and Race. They replaced them with Ware and Walker. W & W combined totaled 9.4 ppg, which less than Smith did playing for Purdue and less than half TJD's numbers alone. Ware played for a bad Oregon team and his average was more than 2/3 of the...
