Yahoo story: Maryland receives subpoenas in connection with federal investigation of college basketball corruption

It's unreal that Kansas hasn't gotten hammered with sanctions yet

No chance this has something to do with Under Armour hiring Diamond Stone’s father the second he went to Maryland

YEP.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

Always a good sign when you search a basketball program on Twitter and several of the top results are FBI accounts

Could be a la Kansas hiring Danny Manning's father, but Maryland's not KU. On the other hand, it's the same KU one-time Maryland recruit Silvio De Sousa ended up playing last season. Nothing ever appears to go pear shaped in Lawrence, but should KU be found guilty of misdeeds KState will likely pay the price in Manhattan, the Little Apple.

Diamond Stone is mentioned in the probe. We all knew this 3 years ago.

Sure, but that was the FBI's 1st investigation of Maryland and the 1st subpoena announced back in February. This is round 2, a second FBI subpoena focused on Maryland's recruiting of Silvio De Sous.

"The second subpoena involves Silvio De Sousa, a talented forward whom the Terps recruited out of IMG Academy in Florida two years ago. De Sousa, a childhood friend in Angola of current Maryland center Bruno Fernando’s, committed (to Kansas) in August, after many recruiting analysts predicted he would follow Fernando to Maryland."

Lots of money wasted here

Well Danny Manning was what? 25 years ago. Different world.

Yup, just one of the most widely known examples of a recruit's father being hired. Same game, just different payers, modes of payment, and larger # of bucks received by recruits, families & friends.

Ha... Jeff Long negotiated similar language to Danny Hurley's in his AD contract. Sign of the times.

People continue to believe that the FBI intervened to enforce the rules of the NCAA when in fact they intend to incriminate them. I don't know who's covered their bases and who hasn't, but we're about to find out.

As I've repeated ad nauseum, Herbst is walking herself into a grenade on the Ollie buyout. I do not think she means any harm but she is risking a whole lot of trouble with people a lot more powerful than the NCAA.

It's easy to get caught up in the maze of agents, sneaker people, and AAU coaches, but everything still traces back to the NCAA and the institutions. They're making money illegally and have been for a long time. The most you can do is plead ignorance to the crimes and hope they buy your story. Otherwise, good luck finding a job again.

As I've repeated ad nauseum ...

If potentially nothing else, you've certainly nailed your "ad nauseum" with ad nauseam.

Wow, Long's contract extends beyond any federal, state, NCAA or Conference investigation leading to restrictions or probation for (KU's) hoop program and extends to football and even women's basketball and women's volleyball. Women's volleyball? That's some proactive CYA, but no scholarships for women's golf, softball, cross country, crew, etc.?

Interesting that Chief mysteriously goes on vacation as this news breaks...

Kansas is in Lawrence. Kansas State is in Manhattan.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Kansas is in Lawrence. Kansas State is in Manhattan.

C'mon, play along with things going pear shaped in Little Manhattan. You know KState will be held responsible for any KU misdeeds! After visiting both cities/towns a few times each, I should know the differences. Lawrence is nice, Manhattan not so much. My bad, thanks!

 

[Paesano]

To the guy that once said, "Paesano thinks that everyone that beats UConn for a recruit is cheating", LOL!!!

For the record, I never implied it was everyone. It was just certain coaches/programs and Maryland was one of them. The Diamond Stone case was obvious to anyone that didn't have their head buried in the sand. The clincher was that he spurned his home school.

 

[Palatine]

It couldn't happen to nicer guy.

According to internal documents kept by Miller's agency, ASM — published earlier this year by Yahoo — former Maryland player Diamond Stone was paid $14,303 in an apparent effort to steer him to sign with ASM when he left college.

It has occurred to me, missing on Stone started Ollie's downfall. If we had landed Stone we certainly would have performed better post NC.

 

[Purple Stein]

Can’t we be more efficient and just subpoena the whole ACC at once?
