The more schools (especially "elite" schools) that get tied up in this, the lesser the eventual penalty for Louisville and everyone. If there are 40 schools involved, then it ends up being a "systematic issue" and everyone just gets a slap on the wrist and we move on like nothing happened.

The Daily Kansan is like the UConn Daily Campus. All they are saying is that there are documents responsive to their FOIC request that the university can't disclose due to the investigation. That doesn't equate to evidence of wrong doing. I think the FBI is likely investigating every Adidas school, and others.

I think Cal is smarter than traceable payments at this point - he's probably slipping kids bitcoin
No one is completely safe from having their kingdoms come apart. Let's just say it would be prudent for those players that are hitting up the "Caliperi system" for more monies to do so in a non traceable way as well so as not to get caught up in blackmail.

And the "Caliperi System" is in quotes because it is alleged and not proven. Might be a total fabrication.

Yeah, it could merely be something related to an arrested, or soon-to-be arrested Adidas employee who also had legal dealings with Kansas as part of his official duties.

If it were an NCAA thing, this would be an accurate take, but this is an FBI investigation. They don't get tired, or consider something too big and start reducing sentences. They are happy to put 40 folks behind bars if they have the evidence. They don't give a rats ass if this is Kansas or The University of the Incarnate Word. They simply don't care what it does to college basketball. They care about whether crimes were committed or not. I get that at some point the NCAA has to start giving out punishments, but if they FBI whacks a school, the NCAA isn't going to be able to just sweep it under the rug.

True but having the FBI open a file on you isn't a good thing.
Don't think it says that. It just doesn't say that they are.

It only says that there are some documents related to Kansas in some file, somewhere, that they can't give over because of the ongoing investigation.

Right now it's Schrodinger's investigation. There's no way to tell whether or not they're being investigated, so this story adds no value.

Ongoing criminal investigation. You don't want the FBI going over the details of your organization. Best case scenario, status quo, worst case scenario is your univ. pres. doing a perp walk.

At this point its pretty safe to say that Squid is crooked but has really done his homework on how to not get caught. Its kind of like peds. You assume the top guys in all sports on something and youre problably right.
