Something that seems really relevant to OU right now

Loans or lines of credit: "Say you've got a top-10 kid but you don't have a lot of money,'' one coach explained. "The agent will get a line of credit through his financial adviser for you in your name. When your kid goes pro, you pay it back.''

A couple of things I noticed:

1. Almost everyone HATES the phone call rule and essentially calls it a joke. Kelvin and crew just got caught. Like he said, everyone is doing it. That was interesting to me.

2. "Here's what I think happens a lot -- a team loses a kid to someone else and all of a sudden that someone else is cheating. Every time North Carolina loses a kid, someone else is cheating. It's like there's so much arrogance with them; they can't believe someone would rather go somewhere else, so the other team has to be cheating.''

Roy Williams is a whining little b****. He pulled that crap at Kansas, which is partially what got us in the mess we're in.
