            that's interesting, because it would be the first i've heard of any nike involvement. even if this doesn't mean that nike is currently part of the investigation, i can't imagine that they'll stay out of it very long-- and it could begin with something as simple as catching a handler on wiretap saying "oregon is looking at this kid, too."

                I just found this on Espn.go.com and thought it was an interesting tidbit of their article...

                "Balsa Koprivica: Koprivica, a 7-foot center and son of former Serbian pro player Slavisa Koprivica, was born in Belgrade and moved to the U.S. with his mother in 2015. He has attended three high schools since arriving in Florida, most recently Montverde Academy. He is ranked 42nd in the 2019 ESPN Top 100. He is considering Gonzaga, Baylor and Florida State, among other schools."

                  Interesting. Does this have anything to do with the topic at hand?

                    I believe that Balsa was linked to this scandal with one of the Florida schools. Gonzaga seems to be around a number of kids that are being recruited by other schools that are using questionable tactics.

                          Me, too. I’m assuming Fisher took the dirty laundry with him. Several sacks of it.

                            I read that article too. It names the schools, coaches, agents, and players linked to this FBI investigation, Balsa is on that list. Another article today on ESPN made it sound like he was considering skipping college and turning pro. I'm sure he could get on a Euro team easy enough.

                              No way I would ever get on that jury.....based upon what has been in the media, this is a tempest in a teapot with the criminalization of the NCAA Rule Book......What North Carolina did and got away with was the most shameful incident I have ever heard of..... it is one thing for a fan or a coach or a player or a agent to have broken the NCAA Rules, it is a completely different thing for a University to engage in academic fraud for years...
