OT: FBI has reportedly arrested several NCAA basketball assistant coaches.

Goes on to say it'll make headlines and that it isn't just about Pitino

For any of you who don't know, Matt Jones is a pretty legit, although not impartial, source

Judging by all the gif responses in that twitter post, the UK fan base has a strong contingent of tween girls.

Yup, they are already on probation from the hooker scandal.

That will be his alibi. "This all happened behind my back while I was preoccupied shoveling that hooker stuff under the table."

In case you're wondering what he'll be investigating. Freeh is there to work his contacts within the FBI and try to smoke out any technicality they can use to invalidate charges. So transparently sleazy.

FBI videos of Louisville recruiting:

l figure a white. blue-chip athlete like myself deserves something extra.
l told them l need a new tractor. Look at that thing over there.
But you did authorize the friends of the program to do what had to be done.
Butch's mother has got a new job and a new house with a lawn.
What they've done is untraceable. What l've done is unprovable.
They are well-coached by Rick Pitino.

Always said blue chips was basically a documentary with the names changed.

Also, my brother-in-law died in 9/11.

Curious on Miami if Laranaga just turned away from it and allowed it or if this happens to go hack to Haith who Fishy seems to have nailed for many years?

They have only been with Addidas for a few years so this would fall under Laranaga's watch.

This is only going to get bigger in my opinion. This is all about the sneaker companies competing to improve their brands by "signing" as many good players at as early an age as is possible to wear their gear. Addidas has been biting into Nike's market share and you can be sure they weren't throwing money around just to do it, they were working to outbid Nike.

I pretty much feel that if you are sponsored by a sneaker company (everyone) and have been in the mix for 5 star players (not everyone), then you have a shot at being involved in this on some level.

I'm hoping the NCAA was notified last night to preserve all communications and financial documents under a wide ranging umbrella. Disappointed if they didn't figure out a pretext to march in with a search warrant.

These are basketball coaches, not the Mob. There is no code of omerta with these guys. They are all going to sing, and loudly. If they came storming in with warrants, everyone may clam up and hire lawyers. By just letting it hang out there, people will come running to them.

What's are the chances they picked up some information related to NCAA football recruiting?

2. I'd wager a decent sum that the FBI had agents undercover. No way was this all external electronic comms being tapped.

Bunky?!

I think slim.

The dirty recruiting worlds of college football and college basketball seem to be pretty separate from one another.

I am selling all my Louisville brothel stock.

One of the more mind boggling things about all this is we've always known about the existence of bagmen in college sports, but it's totally crazy that there is now documented proof that the bagmen are actually international athletic apparel companies.

Louisville announcement - we have just been informed by the ACC that our membership in the league has been revoked. Any future questions should be directed to Susan Herbst and AD Dave who are en route to North Carolina to sign paperwork

please please please please.

Petrino and Petino? Would love it.

UL has a good football program with a heisman winner. It's never gonna happen.

I'm tired of hearing Louisville is good at anything. They are good cheaters and nothing more. Garbage in the big sports, garbage arena deal and garbage academics.

Where it gets especially interesting is when a guy like Book flips on Miller to save his own skin.

Try imagining how many shirts Miller has already sweat through today.

Personally, the question 'why would a Connecticut kid want to play basketball in Alabama' has been answered for me.

Weren't there questions about his father asking for money during his recruitment?

Slim. Most of the evidence is said to be hidden audio recordings. Most of the power players in football have such deep southern accents that you wouldn't be able to make out what was being said on the recordings, and thus would not have any evidence that would stand up in court.
