If the FBI knows the players who got the money, those players should be permanently ineligible to play college ball. Any of those players de-commiting might not be a factor, unless the NCAA takes a year or 2 to do their own investigation to see if recruits violated their amateur status and then knowingly signed documents stating they hadn't.
And the proof of the conspiracy to defraud is in the players signing paperwork saying they are amateurs. The Universities, for one, have been defrauded.

Originally posted by ShockCrazy View PostMy question would be aiding and abetting what? Loss of amateur status? I mean these companies can offer the players shoe deals out of high school. The only reason it doesn't happen happen is because of amateur status and the deal having no value if the player isn't playing somewhere for exposure.
The interesting thing will what will be the NCAA's plan of action towards its member institutions found to be involved knowingly or otherwise in this situation. But even more than that will there be some major changes in the way big time College Football and College Basketball are governed and operated in recognition of the financial behemoths they have become.
As far as Adidas goes the NCAA is the least of their worries right now. They will have plenty on their plate with the Feds.
