What would you say if there was a verified recording of Izzo on a wiretap discussing a $100k payment for a player?

Just curious. Completely hypothetical, this has not happened and will not happen to my knowledge.

I know what Steve would say but what about the rest of you. Again, this is not hearsay, it is something you can actually listen to yourself.

I would say he's got to go for being stupid enough to talk about that shit on a phone.

I’d prolly just abandon college sports for an undetermined amount of time at which point I’d probably come back to it. Maybe eventually

He gone, and what dr. strange said^

(even if I disagree with players not getting paid)

Goodfellas: whata I say to you? Never talk.. didn’t I say never talk on the phone?

by **tGreenWay** Sat 24 Feb 2018 - 0:16

Yeah, if the evidence was irrefutable, he’d have to go, just like any other coach. I would then probably quit college basketball entirely, because Izzo cheating is easily one of the last things I ever thought I’d see.

What about a video of Alan Ruck drowning in a 50 gallon drum of personal lubricant. Because Alan Ruck drowned in a 50 gallon drum of personal lubricant. RIP Alan.

I'd say he had a great run but lost his mind trying catch K/OlRoy.

Start the coaching search because he's gone.

Implausible scenario, regarding that being discussed over the phone.

by SawGreen Sat 24 Feb 2018 - 5:40

He would have to go. I would feel bad, then say he should have pressed more and played more zone.

by **steveschneider** Sat 24 Feb 2018 - 6:35

Heh, I would say just pay the players already. Here’s my question does the current climate make it less likely for a one and done to come back?

Look at Donovan Mitchell. He wanted to come back to Louisville and play this year. Instead he went pro and has taken off. If he had come back all the reasons he would have come back have been stripped away and he would have been stuck in Louisville in a miserable situation and had to of endured the public shaming that comes with NCAA bs.

I just think it’s too risky in today’s climate with the feds monitoring. We are finding out the line between being an eligible team and a penalized team is more tenuous than we all thought. Even miles bridges may have the one reason he came back stripped away from him.

I'd say that's the most stupid thing I've ever heard..

Izzo, of all people, should know that the player will need (at least) twice that amount if he wants to snag a Mio hottie.

by **Floyd Robertson** Sat 24 Feb 2018 - 6:46

Here's how the tapped conversation went:

Shadowy Agent: Hey Iz, $100k gets you five star guy I have
Izzo: Fuck off (walks off camera)

End of story

Clearly you missed when he paid some guy a few bucks to coach at a summer camp and got suspended for a game. And now he supposedly had dinner with a family friend? He's out of control. A rogue coach that makes up his own rules. And let's not even get into how he doesn't kick players off the team for not committing crimes.

Sounds like there’s more info coming. Today it’s Arizona tomorrow who knows who it will be. Could be us, could be our hated rivals, could be a team we don’t give a fuck about. Either way I think this is an existential crisis for college sports and is the perfect time to reform it.

Except reforming it will make college football and basketball professional leagues

I would be disappointed in Izzo and then I would move on to the next news story. I'd look forward to the football season followed by the next basketball season same as always. Nothing would really change for me unless MSU was not allowed to play basketball. Then I'd have to find some other form of entertainment to take the place of MSU Basketball. I'd probably watch MSU Hockey instead.
