I swear, I didn’t hear it mentioned once during the coverage of the NCAA national championship game on Monday night.
I didn’t even hear it in the oodles of postgame coverage on SportsCenter afterward.
I guess nobody wanted to take the sheen off of this one, ahem, shining moment.
But shouldn’t it have at least been mentioned somewhere during the course of the game that college basketball’s newly crowned national champions — the Kansas Jayhawks and coach Bill Self — are under NCAA investigation and have been accused of five massive Level 1 violations while their two sneaker-company bagmen sit in prison for bribing players to sign with KU?
That’s right, Jim Gatto and Merl Code, two former Adidas employees, probably couldn’t even watch the game Monday night (hey, bedtime comes mighty early in the federal penitentiary), yet Self was able to celebrate a national championship while making about $6 million annually under his new lifetime contract.
Move over, Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk and make way for Greet, Cheat, Compete!
Well, since the telecast on Monday night didn’t think it was important enough to make mention of Self being accused of major NCAA violations, allow me to end this broadcast with a rendition of “One Shameful Moment” (sung to the tune of “One Shining Moment.”)
“The ball is tipped,
And there you are,
Coaching for your life,
And paying for Uncle Bob’s new car.
For all those years,
Gatto took the rap,
He’s in federal prison,
How did you avoid the wiretap?
In one shameful moment, your opponent is beaten,
One shameful moment, you’re the national champion of cheatin’.
That's all I have to say about any grandstanding motherfucking cunt blathering on about this fucking shit.
Everybody was soooooooo quick to suck K's cock this tournament. But it's on the fucking wire tap that Zion wanted 100K and we didn't land him. But he played for free for K right. Literally fucking fuck everyfuckingbody that is carrying on here. [Reply]

Not exactly “free” - Zion’s family got to live in a 950K luxury home on campus owned by an alum.
Nike execs on text discussing payment plans for Zion, calling the push to get elite players to their schools is a “war”.
“Texts and emails allegedly detail Nike’s willingness to pay high schoolers, including Zion Williamson”
