    What a clown. Hopefully UW and Romar were unaware that ASM gave Fultz money but I doubt it.

    Cheating to only win 9 games is an impressive level of incompetence.

    And obviously bitch boy Basnaight is still trying to defend Romar on Twitter. Unreal.

    Whatever as long as Football is unaffected who gives a fuck.

    He needs more pay.

    Taking $10,000 to play for Romar was dumb.

    This is romar apologists worst nightmare. Which most of us knew would come out eventually. EVERYONE is dirty in college sports. I'm sure basenight with make some shit up, but i wonder if his crystal ball had fultz getting cash?
    They will say it was all Chillios and that Romar had no idea
    Basnight will also say it was all Chillios idea to hire the dad of the the number one kid coming out of HS in Porter the following year... lol lol

    Hiring Porter's dad was a great move. It's not cheating if it's legal. It's not like Romar was hiring guys to coach anybody up anyway, hire assistants who can bring in the most talent.

    Jen did the right thing to fire Romar anyway, but hiring Porter isn't even close to making the long list of things Romar fucked up.

    It'll be interesting to see what level of involvement Romar and his staff had. What ASM was doing with Fultz to "sign" him as a future client was their own arrangement, and I'm not really sure what use they would have had for Romar/Chill/whomever. At the same time, given how close the coach and recruit relationship is, there's almost no way that they didn't know this was going on, and it's probably a question of did they just look the other way, or did they have any active involvement in the scheme.

    Chillous always concerned me because of his AAU/Nike conpnections and speaking to buddies in AAU coaching the guys that do it full time to make a living are typically slimy as fuck.

    Between this and now the Seattle thug at UA getting busted (again), Romar should burn.

    Legal yes ... but clearly shady and exploiting a loophole

    I honestly don’t care about the Porter arrangement ... was what it was. The problems with it IMO was always that LoRo used to cry foul about such arrangements because it “wasn’t doing things the right way” as an excuse to his performance (or lack thereof), then he started moving to the dark side to get the players he claimed he needed and not only didn’t win, but actually started winning less.

    I have to believe UW was generally unaware of what was happening - with the caveat that maybe once Jen got wind of shenanigans, that was the stake in Romar's coffin. If that's the case, then probably a light slap from the NCAA. Hell, maybe even she cooperated with the authorities to unravel this whole fucked up mess.

    No question Romar knew Chillios was a bag man.
