The Duke of Arguments

By Brad Hubbard | @bradhubbard


Jay Bilas never became a superstar in professional basketball. In fact he never played in the NBA just in Europe. He did turn into one of the more interesting color analysts in college basketball, a lawyer and at times an advocate for collegiate athletes to be paid their fair market value.

Jay BilasBilas played at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski and later coached under him while he went to law school. It would make sense that someone one who went to a world renowned university like Duke would be able to make arguments for paying student-athletes and debate such a view point with Oliver Luck who is an administrator at the NCAA.

With the college basketball season getting under way do yourself a favor and find a game that Bilas is doing analysts for. We think you will find him insightful, interesting and best yet, he knows when not to talk.
