Coach K cheated in the 2015 National Championship game by pressuring referees at halftime

In the 2015 National Championship game against Wisconsin, Wisconsin was dominating the game, and at halftime, Coach K went and talked to the refs, and they called 13 fouls against Wisconsin in the second half, even though they averaged 12 fouls a game, so he obviously was cheating.

While the foul disparity is a recorded stat, 'cheating' is a subjective interpretation of a coach working the officials.

AAU coaches are the real victims in the NCAA scandal because players force them to profit off their likeness

The players are the ones who are victimizing the AAU coaches by putting them in a position to profit off of the players.

The NCAA rules eventually changed to allow NIL, effectively admitting the system was broken, but legally players were never 'victimizing' coaches.

Big Baller Brand, by being the only shoe company that's not implicated, could have just cornered the market.

Big Baller Brand failed for many reasons, but not because of the FBI investigation. They did not corner the market.

John Calipari has actually been an undercover FBI agent his entire career

I think maybe [John] Calipari has just been an FBI agent his entire life. I think he just gets in, finds out all the dirty deeds going on at these various campuses... He is Donnie Brasco, and so he just drags down his opponents.

Purely satirical and conspiratorial; there is no evidence Calipari is an FBI agent.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
