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

I'm just happy that, unlike at North Carolina, our players can actually read.

But unfortunately, it looks like our coaches can't spell...

On page 22 it discusses addressing a higher bid by a 'rival company' but doesn't name it. Obviously, the FBI knows which company and has a lead to follow to at least 1 other company. That means plenty of other recruiting low life's competing with this group, are sweating whether they have been wire tapped, have Undercover FBI agents amongst them etc. Love to see this bleed into programs that seem to attract 5 star talent.

Let's just hope they can read.

FYI you can live-stream the press conference about this at noon on Facebook: U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York

And coming off the Anthony Weiner sentencing yesterday, the Southern District of NY is having a great week.

An interesting process component of this story is the effectiveness of the US Attorneys' office in the Southern District of NY to manage the case. There was a reasonable amount of political chatter when Preet Bharara was fired as the US Attorney at this post. They currently have an Acting US Attorney in place as the nomination/confirmation process is likely to get political and delayed. This will be the most high profile case that court has taken on since Preet was fired and that team will be under the microscope.

All this just means we’re closing to the death of amateurism?

Once the forensic accountants get a hold of apparel company ledgers this investigation is going to get a whole lot broader.

I would love to see Louisville die a horrible death.

They’ll be praised for the heroism in staring amateurism in the face. Pitino for prez

What's the big deal? Most programs have coaches that do this. These 4 just happened to get caught in this sting. Next time, it will be another 4 or 400 who get caught.

Any audio stream of the press conference?

 

[Dove]

There was a thread about a kid withdrawing...errr...bugging out at WKU last week. Any connection to all this?

Anyway...our beloved game is so dirty. Thankfully, not our Husky dogs.

Lville fans trying to convince themselves everything is fine is glorious.

We got dragged through the mud, humiliated, and banned for the apr. you see what all these schools do and get away with while being protected. Lot of salt and rightfully so

I think it means amateurism has never actually existed

This is the first time I actually kind of like Fraschilla...

Hopefully this leads to the elimination of the 1 year rule. Lot's of these 5* guys had no place in college in the first place and were ready to make money off their talents.

 

[UConnStats]

Rough day for the guy who is supposed to be turning Enoch into a star.

Pitino is gone. I give it 2 weeks.

Relevant section from the documents

"...in the scheme to facilitate payments to Player-12 in order to secure Player-12's commitment to attend University-7. CODE explained that another Division I university ('University-4') was offering Player-12 $150,000 'and we're trying to keep him from going to one of their schools.' ... GATTO confirmed that Player-12 would be a rising senior in high school."

University-7 is Miami
University-4 ... Kentucky?
Player-12 is Immanuel Quickley
