Why was it mentioned about possible secondary violations by West Virginia on the recruiting signs for Adrian Payne, but no questioning of recruiting signs by Duke? Why is everyone else held to a different standard than Duke by the NCAA? ESPN had pictures of Duke supporters hanging banners out the window for Kylie Irving during his visit and no a mention of possible violations. If Duke doesnt get in trouble, neither should WVU.
