NCAA has an interesting dilema on their hands and it will be interesting to see how they progress.

Duke has shown that if nobody talks the NCAA will do nothing, I would suggest those involved in the McLemore deal do the same.

I'm not sure this is an NCAA issue. The AAU coach, and perhaps McLemore's uncle, took the money. Is there a prohibition against an AAU coach taking money from an agent's representative?

Great column, but how reputable is the author? Especially when you throw his brother into the mix?

From what I've heard, his older brother has been a great mentor to him - athletically and mathletically.

You mean he's a skirt chaser? Well, hopefully he at least learned that looks matter!

Nope - he "window shops" from time to time, but nothing more than that - and that is a good thing!
