I have to imagine today's list is only the beginning. So far the Big East schools are all safe - hopefully it stays that way.

If there is any shred of truth to this, Pitino has coached his final game at Louisville.

We all know Louisville will get off with a slap on the wrist again. Doesn't matter what some schools do.

Four basketball coaches, Adidas executive charged in college payoff scandal - Yahoo! - 25 minutes ago

The bribes were paid to high school and college basketball players and their families to commit to playing at specific universities and also to sign on to specific financial advisors once they move to the NBA league after university.

In one case James Gatto [Adidas's director of global sports marketing for basketball] and others working with him were accused of paying $100,000 to the family of a high school player in order to agree to join the team of a university in the NCAA's top-flight Division I.

Another high school player was allegedly promised $150,000 to commit to retaining a certain agent once he moved to the professional level.

The athletes involved in the scandal were not identified. But the information in the indictments appeared to point to a player for Louisville, a perennial college basketball power already in trouble for providing prostitutes to players.

Gotcha!

Pitino and Louisville getting off if the investigation is done by the NCAA.
The FBI and the Federal District of New York are a whole different ball game. They play "Big Boy Prosecution"

Daily reminder that NCAA doesn't equal morally right. The government is claiming fraud of $5k pell grants. These kids generate millions for the schools and now they are bitching about losing a few pell grants. This is a rounding error for most school budgets. Don't wanna be that guy, but the lengths the government will go to keep blacks from making money is truly astonishing sometimes.

Uh it's more than 5k in pell grants, it's 100k to a player to go to UofL, 25K to assistant coaches and many other issues that are still coming out.

So which seam on the shorts are you supposed to cut to get the cash out?

Louisville is in big trouble.

Well, they were already in big trouble before this. Maybe the death penalty needs to be in play again.
