If you want this story to stick, you need more than Michael Avenatti and a jilted ex-agent making requests for admission without hard evidence.

It's routinely hilarious watching Twitter freak out every time there's some fringe possibility of a Duke scandal. "Wendell Carter was mentioned on the FBI list? DUKE'S GOING DOWN! Zion was mentioned in the Adidas trials? DUKE'S GOING DOWN!" Will Wade is *on tape* talking about paying players, and he still has his job, lmao. People think an ex-agent requesting admission will move the needle one millimeter?

One day, maybe hard evidence will come out. (Safe to assume that every major school will be implicated at some point, especially ones recruiting as hard as Duke does.) And at that point, a booster will be punished, or an assistant will be axed. Coach K will emerge unscathed, save for maybe some vacated wins, which would move him from the winningest NCAA coach of all time to... still the winningest NCAA coach of all time. And life will go on.

Til then, pay the fucking players already.
