  • Somebody told me and several others that most NCAA coaches know who the cheaters are but don't tell on each other. They also said Louisville is AAA ball compared to what other schools are getting away with including school(s) in our own state. That somebody won't be named.

      Back in the HCEF days, the word was that those from the UNC coaching tree would not schedule each other and refused to schedule known cheaters. Later during Fogler's last year's at USC, he said something to the effect that he couldn't compete with what was going on at UF in regards to recruitment.

        Interesting coincidence?
        We've known for awhile that athletes tend to be loyal to these companies. So that "revelation" really means nothing. The question is whether any bribes took place to keep that loyalty. I just don't think we can read too much into this until the FBI releases something more concrete than coincidence.

        • I think the FBI is just looking into any school that gets 5 star recruits at this time.
          Marge: The plant called and said that if you don't come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in Monday.
          Homer: WOOHOO! Four day weekend.

            It isn't that they "remain" loyal, nor are they worried about "bribes" to keep them loyal. I believe the FBI is interested in how they became "loyal", before choosing a college.

                • Auburn just announced they are holding back two players, presumably to avoid the potential of vacating wins. My bet is Arizona will make a similar announcement this week!

                  • More news. This thing is looking more and more like it will be huge.


                    Sources: College hoops corruption case poised to take down Hall of Fame coaches, top programs, lottery picks


                    Multiple sources who’ve been briefed on the case and are familiar with the material obtained by feds told Yahoo Sports that the impact on the sport will be substantial and relentless. Sitting under protective order right now are the fruits of 330 days of monitoring activity by the feds, which one assistant US Attorney noted Thursday was “a voluminous amount of material.” That includes wiretaps from 4,000 intercepted calls and thousands of documents and bank records obtained from raids and confiscated computers, including those from notorious NBA agent Andy Miller.

                    “This goes a lot deeper in college basketball than four corrupt assistant coaches,” said a source who has been briefed on the details of the case. “When this all comes out, Hall of Fame coaches should be scared, lottery picks won’t be eligible to play and almost half of the 16 teams the NCAA showed on its initial NCAA tournament show this weekend should worry about their appearance being vacated.”
                    For reference, here's those 16 teams:


                    The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

                    • Wiretaps from 4,000 intercepted calls, thousands of documents and bank records obtained by raids and confiscated computers, and 330 days of monitoring activity conducted by federal investigators have potentially bombshell information that could compromise as many as 50 college basketball programs.
                      The bolded part was done by me for those who want to quickly see the most significant info.

                      • For some of the older posters, I go back to Lester Earl and his Lexus driving, apartment complex managing mother. Somehow after the Louisiana native's departure from LSU ended up on probation form his one season in Baton Rouge. His mother relocates to Lawrence to go from the welfare roll to apartment manager driving two Lexus cars, which she allowed Lester to drive, only coming to light after a minor injury accident in Lawrence. Historically there is a lot of smoke with the program, including money being left in the pocket of "guest jackets" at country clubs hosting booster club speaking engagements, which certain key KU players would attend. Time will tell but I am not holding my breath for any news on the FBI investigation.

                          Even non-key players were getting benefits in Roy’s last years. I have it on good authority from one such individual.

                              Perhaps KU could become an "attendance center" of WSU.

                              At the very least they should lose the ability to advertise.

                              I'd be happy if someone just forced them to remove - or at least re-phrase in a more accurate and honest manner - their KDOT sign on the turnpike just south of the south Wichita exit that says "KU Wichita Campus" The way it comes off now is like a dog marking territory that doesn't belong to him, to say nothing of the fact that it describes something that literally does not exist..

                          • If what is being reported is true this is the best news for the NCAA. If it is as wide spread they will just say we can’t punish all of the power 5. It will force them not to punish programs, but make them to change their model, where this stuff can go on legally.
