Lets wait and see. If coaches start ratting each other out then nothing is off the table.

If this happens, will they even have 68 programs eligible for the NCAA tournament this year? :D

They would have to go to the staggered probations to allow enough teams to be eligible for the cash-cow NCAA tournament for the next 5 years! :p

If the players were business executives and a head hunter steared them to a Fortune 500 company, the head hunter would be paid, and the executive would be paid. It's not against the law for a player to be paid, it's against an NCAA rule.

Ummmm, Jay Williams showed up with a paper bag full of $25,000 bills at a restaurant where Kevin Love was eating with his AAU coaches, the Pumps, and tried to hand it to Love's father in order to induce him to eventually sign with the agency he represented. Duke was also recruiting Love at the time.

it has to do with receiving financial aid from the federal government when they shouldn't qualify because of the payments. They are defrauding the federal government
 
If the FBI has a lot of actual proof, the NBA may need to have another draft in a few weeks with all of the high level players who are about to become ineligible for this NCAAs season.;)

Except the coaches then certified to the NCAA that the players had amateur status, which was fraud.

Not as long as the NCAA is a member organization that allows for unbalanced influence from the biggest money-making institutions. It's not in the P5's best interest to allow a P5 member to get the death penalty (which I assume you are referring to), and it's not in the NCAA's best interest (or ability) to try. And the G5 and other institutions are afraid to say anything about the discrepancy in treatment. There are enough P5s in the FBI case that this will be handled with an "internal solution." Expect a statement such as "the sneaker companies and AAU teams must control their people and we, as institutions of higher learning, must take the high road and ensure that everyone understands and follows the rules. That is why the P5 has created a task force to tackle this important issue. We are glad that Louisville, Auburn, Arizona and the other named schools have taken steps to stop the practice by terminating those involved. The task force will report back with suggestions in the next 36-60 months."

Nothing will happen... but it's fun to watch.

If this is the case, than this situation will surely be the death of the NCAA.
