If Pitino is fired or "steps down" and I do mean if because he has survived two serious(should have been fired) situations at Lville already he will be coaching in the NCAA in two years. If Pearl can get resurrected four times then Pitino has at least one more life in him.

They already received a call from a coach who is interested when they drop the hammer. Perfect fit:

Disgraced former Baylor coach Dave Bliss resigns from Southwestern Christian University

He's much smarter than Rick he would've had the hookers murdered!
 
You would have to believe that Nike is probably doing somethin similar.
 
The part of this that is very odd to me is with this activity is so widespread, how is it being kept out of the light for so long? What kept some 17 - 18 year old kid from bragging to the wrong person? It seems to me that there must be some pressure coming from some direction that is preventing it from coming out. I understand that there were always insinuations and allegations but federal indictments usually mean are the result of some very heavy duty investigative work. Just how were they able to keep all of this under wraps for so long?
 
I'm going on record with Bruce Pearl as the FBI informant. He's the Whitey Bulger of The Departed.

Someone said a 30 for 30 on this? More like a 270 for 270. Ken Burns couldn't condense this in to a 2 week docudrama.

Northbound just posted the issue with Mo Bamba above. Where there is smoke there is fire.
 
The ACC has to be so damn proud of the programs they took form the Big East huh? BC can't win anything, they're dreadful. The Cuse is never going to be the same program while being treated like a rented mule in that conference and Louisville, while talented is best at "financing the student athletes and houses of ill repute".

Nice choices Swofford!
 
While this is riveting stuff, especially given the schools involved so far, what is really scary about this is that many people have thought this has been going on for decades and is widespread throughout D1 athletics. If this is the case, and many more schools start to get investigated and more apparel companies start to get investigated this could tear apart the revenue producing college sports. I'm not saying end them, just totally mess them up for a while. It may lead to changes that are good, but those of us who like college sports may not like some of the things we will hear. I would think this would be widespread mostly in the cases of high end recruits that the apparel companies think have a great shot at making the NBA and not all recruiting. Why would Addidas for example pay to influence a two star unranked recruit to wear their shoes? But we may not like what we hear over the next few weeks.

Gatto would never have expected to go to jail and Adidas will separate themselves from him quick. He's going to tell ALL;)

“I don’t know anything about that,” Bowen’s mother, Carrie Malecke, said when contacted Tuesday by the Courier-Journal. “I don’t know anything about that. I’m not aware of anything like that. Not me. I had no idea.”

Bowen's father, Brian Bowen Sr., could not be reached for comment.

This will be the response of most if not all families.

Newsflash.. this has been going on forever. My guess is no five star picks a school without being compensated some how. Let's not be surprised that this is going on. What's surprising to me is that they got caught.

Yes but this is different. This is not the NCAA and minions. This is the FBI, Federal Prosecutors from Manhattan bringing felony charges and one might expect this to be something that continues as we find out in the future who will be singing. Thought I read in one of the articles that this investigation has been going on for years. We shall see.
 
Remember when UofL fans called UConn "cheaters" after the Larry Taylor game?

The NCAA is indeed toothless. The FBI is not. Congress is not. This is likely the tip of the iceberg. Does anyone thing that jailing college coaches, AAU personnel and sneaker company people will have no effect? Really?

Definitely agree. When the FBI and the boys from Southern Manhattan get involved it can really get big quickly. I think this will continue.
