Get those bastards

No way, not Sparty!? Hit piece!

 

[jontaejones]

Is that really what we're talking about here?

Is that what dozens of people at the FBI who make six figures have been doing with their time for the last 10 years? You cannot be serious.

When they say, DUKE, UNC, KENTUCKY, TEXAS, MICHIGAN STATE, etc, then they have a captive audience, and quite frankly, it gets attention right away from the Least interested fans! This is your tax doIIars at work folks!

Funny part of all this is this is just one small agency. This agency only has Kyle Lowry, serge ibaka, Fred van fleet, porzingas, and miles turner

 

[Hitman Hart]

lmao, Wake is the only Big 4 school that isn't involved here. Thank god this is happening in 2018, and not 2008.

Does unc have to vacate last year's title?

I actually think the schools that just paid for a dinner are relatively innocent here.

The only thing interesting is that there is actually some hard evidence of what everyone already knew what was going on. Imagine if they investigated a large agency. There is probably a reason they did not do that.

Kyle Lowry could be declared ineligible.

We could use him...

 

[ellupo]

I knew Nebraska was clean

Nobody knows if any program is clean. Most are not.

 

[Hitman Hart]

The oddest thing about that list is that Brendan Haywood's name is on it.

Haywood played his last collegiate game in 2001. lmao, Dean Smith recruited him to UNC.

I get that, but absolutely 0 of this us surprising. CBB is a cesspool. I am not sure even how to clean it up. The product has degraded and dirtbaggary has increased over time. This season is important to fans, but if true reform comes from this I will be happy. That mean that this season gets a black eye

Among those: Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan State, USC, Alabama

Exclusive: Federal documents detail sweeping potential NCAA violations involving high-profile players, schools

Looks like there's going to be some explosions here soon.

From UK's stance, Bam is only thing that has me worried.

Noel was already in the NBA when he took a loan from his own agent at the time.

Knox having dinner isn't a violation. If the agent paid for it then he would simply need to pay it back and nothing else would happen.

Bam, again, could be a big deal hear along with some of others from other high profile programs. I'll be waiting to see what all comes of this.

 

[UKnation87]

Most of the "Yahoo Sports" articles are simpIy click bait!

Also, let's not pretend that the NBA doesn't have a hand in this. If these players were allowed to go straight to the NBA, they wouldn't have to worry about how to eat during their 1 year in college. Just a thought.

 

[Deep Creek]

Well shit. Not only can my school not make the Good Boy list....we can't even make the Bad Boy list!

 

[douggie]

It appears that NC State and Dennis Smith are the heaviest into money at $73,500

Suspend Bridges for 4 games, Izzo for 4 games then pay whatever needs to be paid. Go over board with the penalty.

That seems to be what it means. Lowry and the two other Villanova players had been out of college for years.

Agent Client Lists - RealGM

Why the hell would Kyle Lowry take a loan of 5K though? He makes 28 million a year?

Not that I doubt any Villanova players have done that. I'm sure some have.

 

[mall3013]

I thought for sure the Buckeyes would have been there.

I'm glad we didn't make the list.
