(Editor’s Note: CampusBasement was able to obtain an audio recording of chatter between Syracuse basketball players in the locker room this morning, after a shocking affidavit was released by the New York Daily News regarding the Bernie Fine/Jim Boeheim civil case. In the document, plaintiff Bobby Davis alleges that Bernie Fine’s wife, Laurie, has had sex with many SU basketball players over the years. The following transcript includes some reactions by this year’s squad.)
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
(Long silence. Some sporadic coughing can be heard.)
PLAYER #1: So…
(More silence. Someone whistles an unrecognizable tune quietly.)
PLAYER #2: Yeah.
PLAYER #1: Um…
PLAYER #2: I guess maybe I should get checked out.
PLAYER #1: Yeah. That’s probably a good idea. Yeah.
PLAYER #2: Yeah. And you’ve been also, uh….?
PLAYER #1: Yeah, yeah I have. And you have–
PLAYER #2: Yeah.
(Deep sigh. Unintelligible mumbling.)
PLAYER #3: You guys are really gross.
PLAYER #2: Oh yeah? You think so?
PLAYER #3: Yeah.
PLAYER #1: Hey, then you wanna explain what your “really important overnight meeting at Bernie’s house” was all about then?
PLAYER #3: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
PLAYER #2: I do. It was last year.
(Pause.)
PLAYER #3: Shut up.
PLAYER #2: See, I knew it!
PLAYER #3: I’m so mad. This makes me want to airball terrible circus treys and turn the ball over!
PLAYER #1: So we’ve all…all of us? I mean, we’ve–
PLAYER #2: Yup.
PLAYER #3: Yeah.
PLAYER #4: Yeah.
PLAYER #5: Mmhm.
PLAYER #6: Yes.
PLAYER #7: Yuppers.
PLAYER #2: Come on, man, what did I say about saying “yuppers?’
PLAYER #7: Sorry.
PLAYER #1: So it’s all of us?
PLAYER #2: I guess so, yeah.
PLAYER #1: Awkward.
PLAYER #6: How did we not know about this?
PLAYER #4: Hey, has anyone else not gotten their anonymous trash bag full of unmarked bills yet this month?
