Hello
gpt
Hi.  Looks like basketball is the right choice today.
human
Yeah did you hear about the NCAA lately?

gpt
It is the National College Athletics Association, I think.  Is that right?
human
That is correct basically they are the college program  for sports and it also includes the basketball, Suprisingly the FBI revealed that there was corruption in the NCAA. Corrupt connections with the shoe companies, agents, and coaches!
gpt
Shoe companies?  Well, if you can not trust shoe companies, who can you trust.  College ball is a great place for the NBA to look at talent.
human
*furrows brow* Well although theres great talent theres been some unethical decisions. And no punishment has been givne. The NCAA doesn't seem to be stopping the corruption taking place. IF they don't stop it it will get worse.
gpt
So is part of this money paid to players, who take phony classes?  There is a solution for that, the student body must get involved.  Players must take the same classes and get decent grades.
human
Correct, and because they haven't done anything rules have been put in place for students who have no intention of pursing their educational career. Supposably the game could be more popular if they went to college and a rule was enforced for them to study instead of getting straight into the NBA at 19 
gpt
It would seem that only a few teams are made from fake students.  But rules must be applied evenly.  There are no easy fixes.  I do not want a minor league for  basketball.
human
Well in the past five years actually almost half of the five star recruits and more then half of the one and dones have gone to just five schools.  The NCAA could use the rule already in effect for baseball but for basketball, like the rule that a student coming from high school or entering college must stay a minimum 3 years
gpt
I would hope the student player is motivated to stay.  Education is never a bad thing, unless you're young.  And you can make millions playing ball.  What does Condoleezza Rice have to do with any of this?
human
*eyes widen* I don't know what Condolezza Rice has to do with this I do know that people write to her most likely because she has the power to change the rules in the NCAA, but that last part is just speculating.  NBA allen iverson actually signed a deal with rebook to pay him 800k a year until hes 55 then at the end recieve 32 million in a lump sum! I guess you could start your own education facility what that kind of money.
gpt
I think Condi is associated with the FBI.  They are the ones revealed findings of corruption.  Thats a stunning amount of money to pay any one person.  
human
From personal knowledge I believe shes a politician, which does relate her to this.  NBA is an active member of USAB (USA basketball) which is also recognized by the FIBA (international basketball federation)  That is a huge amount! The nba is on the most four major sports and NBA players are the worlds best paid atheltes by average salary
gpt
I once attended a college basketball game.  Its funny how the game means so much to some and almost nothing to others.  More fun to play with friends than watch.  Have you ever owned Air Jordan sneakers?
human
Thats true that some people really care and some don't about basketball. I've always liked jordans, but lately i've been buying them to resell. Not a big fan of the NBA, but since people are they are willing to wait in line for shoes and create bots online to try to get them. I wouldn't be suprised if the shoe companies are a part of the corruption, they are pretty unethical since they use offshore labor!
gpt
It seems likely that shoe money leads to corruption.  Air Jordans were banned by the NBA.  Jordan wore them anyway and Nike paid the fine.  Not corruption, but the league was ineffective in rule enforcement.
human
Oh thats interesting did not know they were banned was that a specific type of air jordan or all of them? Maybe they were a specific color, He probably made his fine back by the exposure of the shoe. Yeah i believe the NCAA needs to enforce their rules more so the FBI and governing bodies don't have to get involved/ Nba explotiation is not new i guess
gpt
I have no idea about the color.  Nike can probably make any color desired.  Maybe people like Tim Duncan could help in some way.  He stayed in school for four years instead of going directly to the NBA.
human
So like one time people were getting killed over this specific colorway and thats why they got banned. I could get on really offtopic about jordan. If the nba followed baseball rules are learned from them, they would probably have less issues.
gpt
I see.  Well, if physicists were cool, "granny style" would be a thing.  Talk to you later.
human
*body relaxes* Talk to you late

*laughs* Cheryl Miller was robbed out of a life time of earnings by being a woman.
