Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 2880011, member: 1245"] I'm actually surprised there hasn't been much much more dirt than what has been reported. Through Adidas corporate accounts there has got to be a way to follow the money until it becomes cash or a cashed check. There has to be corporate discussions as to who they are supporting and how. Gatto and his henchmen can't possibly be laying out money for recruits without getting credit and goodwill from people actually in senior authority in each program. I would have thought there would have been more explicit texts congratulating each other, reporting how pleased particular head coaches were, etc. I also thought there would be more specific people dragged into the conversation by discussions of needing to beat the offers of Nike related to player X, and delivered to family member Y, for school 'Z' , by assistant coach … or runner … Plus, with the defense strategy of admitting the facts but declaring it only an NCAA infraction, proving things should have been an easy job. When this all started, the FBI came public saying if you have information you had best come forward because things will be much worse if the FBI is the one coming to you. It doesn't seem to me that any assistant coaches or people inside any program chose to protect themselves. If the prosecution is coming to a close, I'm surprised. [/QUOTE]
