When this is all said and done everyone is going to be on the list.

No question.

Everyone is doing something shady to get these kids. The only question is to what level.

And it's not remotely surprising the shoe companies are involved.

The UCLA Bruins are paragons of virtue.

The Arizona landscape is littered with dead bodies from people that have crossed the former HC Lute Olson and the University of Arizona.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if any school was named, including UCLA.

College sports is corrupt......it's why the athletes should be compensated. Compensate them and you can eliminate almost any shady factor.

Louisville is fucked btw. Hey look Kentucky and Duke not listed!

Everyone with an ounce of common sense knows those weren't the only schools/companies/coaches doing this, just tge only obes caught today.

I used to respect the hell out of Louisville. Still do really, but come on man. You're better than that.

Come on. Dracula is the original Teflon Don. Pitino gets caught cheating all the time and nothing ever sticks to him.

I know they were too busy with the North Carolina investigation most likely.

Nvm. They're fine.

After a Google search, the worst thing I saw from Duke is some jewelry scandal from 7 years ago.

Pearl should be gone though, as should Pitino.
From what I see Pearl isn't involved. In all these cases it was assistant coaches that went rogue and were trying to cut side deals to make money for "commissions".

If the head coaches weren't involved and this was going under the table (as it appears to be) then the head coaches are clean. The dirty assistants should be gone, there are going to players ruled ineligible and more than likely sanctions for the schools.

If the schools lawyer up and throw the assistants to the dogs they shouldn't get hurt too bad. There hasn't been anything published about the players actually taking money which I'm going to be interested to see if that happens because these were "fake" agencies setup by the govt in a sting. If the players were paid we will know because that will have to come out.

This is a very different deal than anything we have seen before.
