Bob Knight had a few words for the NCAA and Notre Dame when he was in Indy this week. Here are a few gems:
'"Today I could take Steve Green as an incoming freshman, and if Steve had the ability to play in the NBA, he only has to pass six hours in the first semester -- six hours with a D. The second semester he never goes to class and we could win the NCAA with Steve Green never having attended class," Knight said.
"That's not what college basketball should be about. The NCAA is totally negligent not only to what would be best for the game, but what would be best for the kids that play the game." '
'As for Notre Dame, Knight said the Irish, an independent in football and Big East member in other sports, should join the Big Ten. He referred to a couple of players from the gold-medal winning 1984 Olympic team: Sam Perkins of North Carolina and Chris Mullin of St. John's.
"They were two smart Catholic boys," Knight said. "They should advise Notre Dame to go in the Big Ten, because there are some dumb Catholic boys up there. They have no idea how much it would change their recruiting." '
