Shocking again. No mention of mention of Diamond $tone?

Besides the other HC we may be glad Chill is gone too.....

The question for me is, are any of these schools even going to get punished? Or will the NCAA simply sweep under the rug and say there was too much corruption to individually punish. "We've rooted it out now". Which is BS.

That's my question also. And if the trial shows so many schools were offering money and the NCAA does nothing about it then you might as well throw out the whole NCAA model and start over.

Never really thought of it like this. The NCAAs inaction on this matter could be the 'excuse' the P5s use to break off and form a new world. Who knows?

I was in the room yesterday as a potential juror. For obvious reasons I was not picked

During opening statements Tuesday, attorneys for a former Adidas executive did not deny he conspired to or made payments to the families of high-profile basketball recruits.

"NCAA rules were broken," attorney Casey Donnelly told the jury. "We are not going to waste your time pretending these families did not get funds."

Attorneys: Ex-Adidas exec didn't break laws

James Gatto is not disputing that money changed hands. So now that that's out of the way what does the NCAA do? This is going to be very interesting.

Wow, I would have loved to be on that jury. Although I'm not sure I would want to be a juror on a trial that is going to last weeks.

Did you try and start a U-C-O-N-N! chant or something?

Uh, what about the claims they appropriated those cash payments to bogus expenses accounting wise? Isn't that laundering, wire-fraud, or something like that?

Oh yes, they're very Spartacus'd.

Judge mulling whether to allow Louisville escort scandal in college hoops corruption trial

>>You know a college basketball fraud trial is going well when, in trying to hash out what is and isn’t going to be admissible evidence, a federal judge states the following sentence in open court.

“So the rent-a-cops were in the dorm when the hookers were brought in …”<<

How is this fair to the schools that played by the rules though?

I had no hope that schools that cheated were gonna get punished before Monday, but after what I’ve been reading that fbi essentially told ncaa to stay clear until things played out, I’m hoping some big punishments come down. I hate seeing scumbags like Sean Miller still coaching out there

Well if the NCAA is saying it's O.K. to pay recruits with no retribution then doesn't that change the whole model? Opens up a huge can of worms. Do you then put schools in 2 categories - one that wants to pay recruits and another that doesn't?

Fans of schools like Louisville are confident the NCAA won't charge them/won't see a big penalty. I'm with you guys. The precedent would be insane. Considering the NCAA changed their rules to allow 3rd party findings to be admissible as evidence for enforcement, I think they're just waiting for the trials to end and for everything to get out and be shared with NCAA.

If they don't charge these schools, it would be pretty easy for a school that gets busted for improper benefits to sue the NCAA for selective enforcement. Even if the school didn't win, it would be a major black eye for the NCAA on top of all this FBI stuff.

Would this involve some sort of anti-trust issues given the non profit status of universities?

Will never not amaze me how these players are treated at every step of the system - formally and informally - as commodities, but the NCAA insists that they are amateurs and cannot be paid.

 

[huskymedic]

Sounds like @Fishy re: Tulsa and ECU... hmmmm

 

[JMick]

These are the kinds of comments that should lead the NCAA to punish schools and coaches that paid players. It's rigged against smaller schools and now it's all out in the open

So, big deal, no money was paid to the recruits who received only a non-monetary benefit, the local economy (sex workers, security company) received a boost, where's the harm?

Brian Bowen Sr. may testify Thursday, what he says could rock college basketball


If people are shocked by now they really haven't been paying attention lately, never mind for the past few decades.

Based off everything we know so far, I’m guessing this will implicate Miami and Arizona hard. Let’s start reaching out to Nico Mannion and Brandon Williams...

If so, hope it happens before AZ lands Green....so UNC doesn't then go hard after Precious.

I see no discrepancy. The cars don’t get the payment when they are bought, the dealership does. They are treated as commodities by all involved, including by the NCAA.
