S2: E6 – An Inside Look into the College Basketball Recruiting Scandal Part I

Through the insight of one of our club members who is very familiar with the high school AAU circuit (having played on the AAU team of Markelle Fultz, now of the Philadelphia 76ers), we dive into how and why high school players would accept bribes from colleges and shoe companies, and what it means for college basketball going forward.

Bringing in discussion on the inner-city basketball scene, whether college athletes should be paid, the revenue uses of the NCAA and big-time college programs, and the John Calipari 30 for 30, we assess how such a serious scandal could happen.

Part II will take a look at where the affected teams go from here.
