look like rec league soccer unis (the shorts, at least)

9/14/2012 4:24:43 PM

Why don't we just go ahead and get No Fear to make the unis for us since we appear to be moving in that direction.

9/14/2012 4:27:26 PM

It's not block s-tate, it's nsctate. Because that's how damn stupid it is.

9/14/2012 4:28:40 PM

we should just play every game either shirts or skins

The built in bra is freaking awful. What the heck are they thinking. I agree with the folks who have suggested a very classic look with very little bullcrap all over the jersey and shorts. Time for people to start emailing Debbie...

Cincy is sponsored by Zubaz now?

Smart move releasing it now. 24 hours of bitching from the interwebs before the attention switches over to bitching about the football intro video.

Not really anything new in the article about Purvis...mostly just quotes by Gottfried

I'm ok with the shorts. The color fade gradient looks retro 90s but it's passable.

The jersey isn't great. This needs to stop.

I thought last years' were terrific. Even the all blacks looked great. DY did a great job appealing to the older fan base with the classic 70s/80s look. This just looks like a copy/paste from the football uniforms to basketball.

9/14/2012 7:55:00 PM

wow, new unis kinda suck.

9/14/2012 8:09:52 PM

Tyler lewis loves them, I hate him now.

9/14/2012 8:34:26 PM

The panel above the lettering screams "women's cut."

The gradient on the shorts is ridiculous.

9/14/2012 8:51:21 PM

it's not asking too much of them to find something good and stick with it. last year was great, stick with those.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/ex-nba-guard-sam-cassell-rips-ncaa-denying-221141586--ncaab.html

Sam Cassell's son denied eligibility. Doesn't bode well for Purvis. I would really like to see some instances of people being cleared to play.

9/17/2012 8:47:58 AM

Why does the NCAA check classes, why not just check accreditation agencies? (I'm assuming there are many, independent accreditation agencies for high schools?)

9/17/2012 9:07:04 AM

I heard that Gottfried supposedly said that we should hear an answer about Purvis's appeal this week

9/17/2012 9:27:24 AM

Haha that is 3 speculations in one short sentence

9/17/2012 9:39:03 AM

ok, here's what gottfried actually said (he hopes to hear something this week)

"At the same time, the NCAA should be credited rather than criticized for cracking down on the diploma mill prep schools that have popped up in recent years. Notre Dame Prep may very well be legitimate, but those that do offer sham classes designed to ease the academic burden for basketball standouts are giving academic-oriented prep schools a bad name."

So, they're going to crack down on UNC right?

9/17/2012 9:49:22 AM

Cassell does have a point though. Since ncaa cant crack down on schools it does so indirectly th rough the kids

This.

9/17/2012 10:08:14 AM

^^ Shouldn't universities be the ones who decide that kind of thing? If a school is good enough for a university, why does the NCAA have a problem with it?

9/17/2012 10:32:21 AM

A couple of ESPN blog articles popped up this morning about us:

It's nice to see the attention, but come on ESPN

I wish that would make it so...

9/17/2012 12:39:45 PM

If Purvis is not cleared, will he have to leave NC State to play basketball next season (2013-2014)?

Since he has been cleared to attend classes by NCAA, does that allow him to sit out this year and play next year or is Purvis still in the same boat that Sam Cassell Jr. is in at Maryland?

9/17/2012 1:22:45 PM

he will be able to play here next year, since the ncaa cleared him to attend classes. i didn't realize that was a possibility before it happened, but apparently it is.

9/17/2012 1:37:57 PM

^thanks

Seems like parents of prospective NCAA athletes should not gamble on such a matter despite any assurances they may have gotten

9/17/2012 1:46:28 PM

^^ Next year as in January 2013 or next season?

9/17/2012 2:07:45 PM

Oops, sorry. From what I understand, as it stands now, if we don't hear good news from the latest appeal, then he won't be able to play until next season. So there is the possibility that he could head-out to Europe or something. Hopefully he'll get cleared soon, and this will all be moot.

9/17/2012 2:11:14 PM

PURVIS FREED! w00t!

Wait, wait. Today Thorp resigns AND Purvis gets cleared. This past weekend we get a verbal from Barber, NCSU football win AND a UNC football loss. What parallel universe are we living in right now. I reject your reality and substitute my own.
