Report: Harvard testing NCAA rules
Harvard does not award athletic scholarships. Yet the group of six recruits expected to join the team next season is rated among the nation???s 25 best. This is partly because Harvard coach Tommy Amaker has set his sights on top-flight recruits. It is also because Harvard is willing to consider players with a lower academic standing than previous staff members said they were allowed to. Harvard has also adopted aggressive recruiting tactics that skirt or, in some cases, may even violate NCAA rules. Two athletes who said they had received letters from Harvard???s admissions office saying they would most likely be accepted have described tactics that may violate NCAA rules, including visits from a man who worked out with them shortly before he was hired by Harvard to be an assistant coach.

Notice it has a smell of a Dukie involved ..... one might wonder if coach K has rubbed off on his old stuff. Make you wonder why K gets the kids he gets. It sure isn't because he has personality

Notice it was an ex Dukie involved. Coach K probably does the same dirty tricks, I believe he once was asked about getting players parents job's and vehicles, but it was a friend that offered those things not the school. Once a cheating Dukie, always a cheat!

If you asy Duke cheats, then you can say that North Carolina, Kansas and UCLA cheat as well. Just because Duke gets top recruits doesn't mean they cheat. North Carolina has 3 McDonald's All Americans this year - I guess they cheated to get them. UCLA has a couple as well - are they cheating? Or is that the reputation and national notoriaty of these schools that makes high school players want to play for these programs?
Let's not beat around the bush and turn a blind eye to say that the majority of NCAA basketball schools are more unethical than cheating - but having said that, this now poses the question - is being unethical cheating?
