LOL.

Maybe it's time to stop this charade and pay the kids over the table.

Bruce Pearl at it again

Beat me to it. Shocking

 

[UConnRock]

The biggest part of this story may be Sneaker companies being the supplier of cash to get the kids to commit to schools.

 

[The Funster]

WOW. I wonder if there is more to be announced.

 

[Son of Robert]

Surprised LSU is not represented here, but that could be poor speculation on my part.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

hahaha louisville and slick rick at it again. Go ACC!

 

[huskiesouth]

Quick read, assuming truthfulness of affidavits, the agent/financial advisor has already pled guilty to criminal charges and settled civil suit brought by the US Government, in exchange I would guess for turning on these coaches.

Not clear if any players or their families knew of bribes.

Some stuff you just can't make up. Were bribes paid in briefcases full of cash? No apparently paid by wire transfers, easily traceable through the Federal Reserve, duh.

Gatto looks like Adidas and Merl Code is Nike

Looks like its not the kids getting paid. The guys with the access to the kids. Ugly.

Brian Bowen: Louisville lands surprise commitment from Brian Bowen, last five-star in 2017

 

[HuskyHawk]

Wow. This is big. Might finally lead to some reforms.

 

[UConNick]

Welp UL in trouble again. Methinks this could be related to Brian Bowen's recruitment?

Edit: damn tcf beat me to it by a hair.
