Duke’s Coach K Wants Players to be Paid

Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski addressed the FBI’s investigation into NCAA basketball after Duke’s win over Syracuse on Saturday.  

The Blue Devils have a player on their team, freshman Wendell Carter Jr., that is currently linked to ASM Sports and Christian Dawkins.

Coach K has some thoughts and pretty much says, without actually saying it, that players should be paid.

Via The News & Observer:

“It’s a horrible time for the game,” Kryzyewski said. “The game has been on its knees begging for change for years. Sometimes unless something horrible happens you just don’t change. We need to change. We need to take a look at amateurism and define it differently.”

Hmm.  This sounds a lot like the words of a guy who is already paying players and would like the rules to be changed to make it legal.
