Several assistant coaches arrested in corruption scheme

[black francis]

Finally, Kansas going down for cheating

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.

Didnt the NCAA recently say that head coaches were responsible for the actions of their assistants?

Every coach in the country is shitting in their pants right now. Living the dream to possibly spending a little time in jail

Sounds like FBI's investigation is still ongoing. No doubt many of these assistant will flip in fear of prison time

All of the head coaches at these programs listed could be in serious jeopardy of losing their jobs. Which would be the following:

Bruce Pearl(Auburn)
Rick Pitino(Louisville)
Sean Miller(Arizona)
Andy Enfield(USC)
Mike Boynton(Oklahoma State)
Jim Larranaga(Miami)

3 of these teams had FF aspirations this year(UL, Zona, USC) and another was considered a sure fire top 20 team(Miami).

You really think Pitino didn't know someone paid $100k for Bowen? I find that damn tough to believe.

His job isn't in jeopardy, but its probable that Evans' actions were under Brad Underwood. Underwood is now @ Illinois.

 

[Skerpokes]

Something tells me Rick Pitino is screwed

Fire Sean Miller

This isn't the first time.

That may be true, and probably more than likely is the case.

Ignore that post @ericd7633

Evans is being investigated for his actions while he was an assistant at South Carolina.

Yep, that's correct. Apparently as part of the recruiting of Thornwell and Dozier, I believe. Who were the main reason they made the FF, that's crazy.

Thanks, i had no idea uconn was ranked in the 50s.

I'm glad this starts to shed the lies that Duke was nothing before K. Duke had been a strong program before.

Duke wasn't the Duke of today by any stretch but they did play for a National Championship in '78 and a Final Four (I believe) in the 60's as well.

Duke had 4 FF's before K. K wasn't hired until 1980, so you have to imagine that back then, 4 FF's was a solid number.

Vic Bubas is in the college basketball HOF. He took Duke to 3 FF's in the 1960s. He won 4 ACC Tournament titles. Throught 2017, the only ACC schools that have 4+ ACC Tournament titles are Carolina, Duke, State and Wake.

They only got behind the curtains with Adidas and Adidas schools.

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

Auburn is UnderArmor

 

[Hitman Hart]

If the list does expand, I wouldn't be shocked if NC State was on it. Gottfried landed a couple of highly regarded recruits out of nowhere.

I hope I'm wrong.

They are if they are acting on behalf of the school. These guys were putting money in their pocket and exploiting the schools' players.

It's just a very different deal then what we have seen in the past.

Not good for Arizona:

And now we know how Arizona shot to the top in the recruiting world.
