I’m not sure I’d describe hiring escorts for your recruits as “cheating”.

I think this is a big thing people are overlooking. While against the rules for a good reason, it’s also the sort of thing that gives a very, very small advantage at most (and probably no advantage in the big scheme of things). Saying they need to vacate a title because they were using hookers to recruit is a big difference from, say, the whole team being on PEDs or having wider hoops on their end of the court or something.

EDIT: Sorry saw T-Cups already made this point.

Would you describe paying players as “cheating”? Same thing, but with different currency.

It’s certainly a big violation, and I have no issue with the vacation of records. But “cheating” just doesn’t fit the bill as a description of what happened, in my opinion (same with paying players). Cheating is an on-field thing to me.
