So which bluebloods *haven’t* been named? Indiana?
No mention of Cuse...
Maybe it's not a coincidence that those are the two bluebloods that have had the roughest last couple years? (Because they're not buying recruits)
Plus Illinois, which would’ve been considered a blueblood alongside Syracuse and Arizona, until this decade.
I've been following college basketball since the 1950's. At no time would I ever have considered Illinois a blueblood.
Illinois a blue blood? Bawhahaha...they had a nice run under Lou Hensen in the 80’s with Kendill Gill and Anderson where they finally made a final 4 but bluebolld? Hahahahaha

Not to get too off topic but yeah Illinois is not a blue blood in my opinion although they have a much better history than some people think. The 11 “elite” programs in my opinion are Duke, UNC, UCLA, Kentucky, Kansas, Indiana, Arizona, Louisville, Syracuse, Connecticut, and Michigan State.

Agreed... Illinois is in the next batch of 15 or so teams with moderately long streaks of excellence

This has bigger implications than NCAA violations. This is tax evasion and bribery of public officials. AZ clearly, with its football and basketball issues, has a lack of institutional control.
Let's say school A is playing by the rules. Agents are illegally bribing players to leave early without reporting payments, agents are bribing state officials to get kids to school B, other schools are bribing players to come to their schools, and shoe companies are bribing kids to go to another school.
If I'm school A and I spent dozens of hours and $5000 traveling to Finland, bringing a kid in on an official visit from Finland, etc then I why can't I sue the agent, the shoe company, and the dirty coach who illegally paid the kid to go elsewhere for damages?
These people aren't violating NCAA rules; they're committing crimes.
