Court system is sooo slow.

What does this mean if anything for Miller, Self and others? I haven't been following.

This is good for the schools involved

These guys could have taken a plea deal for a lesser sentence but gambled they could win in court. Wonder if the other guys will take a plea deal now.

What happens now? Nothing? Everything?

The assistant coaches that were indicted are next. They may plea following this result.

Then? Who knows.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Wow!!!!

So what happened?

It's going to be wild how many of these sneaker company guys and assistant coaches go down as scapegoats for the schools and head coaches that benefited from it.

Realistically unless schools like Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, UNC, etc miss out on post season play, lose players, or even have coaches fired than this entire thing is a waste of time.

Assistant coaches, handlers, and reps going down in court means nothing to any of us.

UNLESS I am missing something

Anyone wonder if the NCAA will let this get old and cold and then just punt saying the FBI didn't find any schools or coaches complicit.

That’s the next shoe...

>>Two additional trials in the case remain. In February, former NBA great and Auburn assistant Chuck Person stands trial for his dealings with Code and Dawkins. Three additional former college assistants, Emanuel “Book” Richardson (Arizona), Tony Bland (USC) and Lamont Evans (Oklahoma State), are scheduled for April, just after the Final Four.<<

I think people confuse this with an enforcement of NCAA rules. It isn't that. The conduct charged here is a federal crime. Most recruiting violations are not.

These things may or may not also be recruiting violations. It's up to the NCAA to determine that and punish the violators. It will be interesting to see what happens. But I would suggest that these criminal convictions are a lot more of a deterrent to this specific behavior by the shoe companies than any NCAA sanctions would be. So schools that maybe wanted the sneaker company to help steer kids to their school should see that dry up.

Oh, so they'll go to Nike instead? College sports is a racket.
