TARRYTOWN, N.Y. — Knicks forward Michael Beasley isn’t holding back on the state of college basketball.
In the wake of the FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball that led to the firing of Louisville coach Rick Pitino on Wednesday, Beasley was asked how corrupt the whole process is.
“Man, you guys are just catching on,” Beasley said with a smile at Knicks practice.
After finishing up at Notre Dame Prep (Mass.), the 6-foot-9 Beasley spent one season under Frank Martin at Kansas State — alongside Billy Walker, who briefly played for the Knicks — before becoming the No. 2 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.
Asked if college players should be compensated, Beasley highlighted his own college experience.
