At some point a family member will go postal. Once a one and done is ruled ineligible, and the FBI has a money trail (and maybe tapped conversations) there's no reason for them to play nice. They're going to sing publicly and privately. We're going to hear, "Yeah, we got $100k! So damn what! How much is the school making? How much is coach making? How much is the sneaker company making? It's a hell of a lot more than $100k! And the NBA tells my kid that he can't make a living for a year so he has to be a slave to a bunch of leaches! We took the money from [Fill in the School], but turned it down from [Name a crap load of other schools]. By the way, we also took it from [Name a school that got the original commitment] and they were pissed when we bailed after getting more!"

I listened to an interview of DanWetzel on the ride home and he sounded irritated that the FBI got involved. I wonder if he heard bad news from his buddy?

Dan Wetzel , what an idiot. I guess he has no clue what laws were broken.

They would be stupid if they did that. Basically a confession for the IRS. I am pretty sure they didn't report those funds on their tax return.

This is laughable. There's no way he had no idea this was happening under his nose. I agree with another poster in this thread, and with or without the existing probation, even if he had no clue he should still be fired/resigned for lack of control/oversight with his own program.

For a guy with the power that Pitino has, I am absolutely amazed that he never seems to have any idea of what ANY of his assistants are doing.

Doing his best imitation of Chevy Chase in Fletch - "THANK GOD, the FBI..."

"Save me from these horrible, mean, selfish people (his assistants) who keep going behind my back to sully my good name and the reputation of this fine, upstanding institution for higher learning." This guy is absolutely the biggest piece of s&!$ going.

Yes Rick, it is true... Bruce Bowen just "fell into your lap"... and according to you, it did not cost you a dime!... Except that it did... $100,000 worth. Oh, but of course, you knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about that part.

What a complete and utter buffoon... a shameless, sick, ego-maniacal, take-no-responsibility-for-anything loser!!!

As shown in the attached Gatto made three phone calls to Coach 2 who based on the description in the indictment could be nobody else but Pitino. These 3 calls were made days before the Bowen commit. So the sneaker rep who is financing the deal is making calls to the coach just before the commit. Nothing to see here.

It would be interesting to see how many times Gatto called Pitino in previous months.

Based on the precedent set by the NCAA in the Cam Newton case, as long as the player themselves didn't take the money, they should be good. If all the money was accepted by a parent or representative, and the player "didn't know", then the player is eligible in the eyes of the NCAA. That sounds like I am being sarcastic and ridiculous, but I am not. That is actually the precedent set by the Cam Newton and Auburn fiasco.

The NCAA closed that loophole after that case. You are now accountable for any impermissible benefits your parents receive without your knowledge.
