FBI Arrests NCAA coaches for corruption

[ivet]

Ya'll underestimate Slick Ricks true powers. UL will have an Ollie North to take the heat away from Slick Rick. Same with UNC.

Well today could be fun...

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.

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

It sounds like Quinnerly won't suiting up for Arizona, but it doesn't look like he'll be eligible to play anywhere else either.

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.

The story I read said $100,000 to Bowen, in four installments, to commit to Louisville then sign with Adidas when he goes pro. Another recruit in the 2019 UL class a similar deal.

To put this in hoop lingo: FBI w/wire taps is the No. 1 overall seed, NCAA Committee on Infractions is a 16 seed

Interesting...

Creighton loses out on Bowen with L'ville, Nova loses out to UA on Quinerly, Nova loses out to Miami on Lonnie Walker and Chris Lykes. Hmmm, this might get ugly. It looks like this is all about Addidas, at least lets hope. I really, really hope (pray) that the BE teams stayed clear of this nonsense.

I agree. Another thing to think about is that - if coaches start getting fired - the coaching carousel starts churning again.

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

Actually, I predict that Cleveland State is in BIG trouble.

The coaches were identified as Chuck Person of Auburn University, Emanuel Richardson of the University of Arizona, Tony Bland of USC and Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State.

They were among 10 people charged in Manhattan federal court. Others included managers, financial advisers and James Gatto, the director of global sports marketing at Adidas.

If I were a mid major school, I'd make sure all my athletic department secretaries take those candy dishes off their desks...
