Pretty much every top 100 recruit is getting benefits. And many beyond. People need to accept reality. And you can guarantee that these top 10 guys that are suddenly going to Gonzaga are getting something from someone.

Cracks me up that people think that Self's actions are somehow far worse than what's happening at other programs. Mike Brey even said that Self's relationship with Adidas is no different than others.
