Well today could be fun...

They might want to look into UNC and Kentucky...and while we're at it, UConn who tampered with a recruit who signed his NLI with us.

Stage One of DePaul's master plan to get back to the NCAA Tournament by having 250+ other schools declared ineligible for post-season play is under way.

Not if you're Sean Miller...

The coaches were identified in court papers as Chuck Person of Auburn University, Emanuel Richardson of the University of Arizona, Tony Bland of the University of Southern California, and Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State.

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.

Brian Bowen who had Creighton in his final 3 was also allegedly paid 100k to commit to Louisville according to this report. Im sure Pitino knew nothing..

I wonder if that could cause Jahvon Quinnerly to decommit...which would be great news for Nova.

wow. Just wow.

I don't know if Bowen would have picked Creighton. Sometimes it felt we had a good shot, sometimes it felt like we weren't in the running. It would have been nice to have been on an even playing field during the recruitment. If true, I hope all those involved get hammered by the NCAA. I know there is hypocrisy involved with the finances of college sports, but this goes beyond that issue. Federal Indictments will have a chilling effect on this sort of nonsense! At least for the short term.

Louisville is in big trouble.
