It was addressed somewhere in this thread. I will say; there are two separate schemes here- one in which the players were getting paid big time to go to a college team. That's where UL, Miami, and South Carolina are in big trouble. The other scheme involves assistant coaches taking bribes to steer players to a financial advisor. That doesn't feel as "program-related" to me, and that's Auburn, USC, Zona, and ok st. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Pitino? Sure. Jurich? No doubt. Could even be the university president. That would be big news. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

SWEEEEET! There's hope for UK-involvement yet!

Pitino ain't gonna last the week. He will at minimum be suspended by Friday 5:00 pm.

Makes me happy to see Rabby saying that!

Entirely possible! EDIT: But apparently not entirely likely!

Miami Herald reporting that "University-7" Is University of Miami. Very disappointed in Larranaga if allegations are proven.

Not the ones that successfully produce convictions for corrupt payments. Those successful cases use historical evidence to predicate, and then record contemporaneously.

No. Not in the real world. The resources and level of federal criminal behavior that is warranted to be actually charged is so, so much greater than most anybody outside of the process perceives. Is it technically possible? Sure. But that's usually where it ends.

I think that the NCAA is far closer to "toothless" than "corrupt."

If they haven't been recorded by now, it's overwhelmingly likely that there will never be a way to sufficiently prove it for probable cause to indict, and beyond a reasonable doubt to convict. And I'm pretty sure that Barnes, Swanigan's adopted father, ain't gonna be talking.

FWIW: One of the indictees today is the Sean Miller assistant from Western Pennsylvania that has been with Sean the entire time Sean has been at Arizona. If I were Sean and Arizona, I'd be extremely nervous.

We will never know.

To quote the sage Dean Wermer...they are currently already on "double-secret probation."

Something like that!

Don't worry about who that is; he's already been put into the witness protection program. He's rumored to be wearing a disguise that makes him look like a liger.

You guys may think I'm overstating it, but when the episode is finally settled...my prediction? Louisville Basketball = SMU Football

And, Pitino's new nickname is now gonna be: "COACH #2, THE BIGGEST D!CK-SWINGER IN THE BUSINESS"

The only calls they would find valuable are from players' families. Instead, that tip line is gonna be filled with a bunch of calls from UK yahoos screaming about how: "Louervill gonna ged it this-a time! "

Let me try to address the NCAA's (lack of) involvement: To effectively investigate corruption the primary evidence that invariably will produce convictions is the recorded conversation between the bribe payer and the bribe recipient. The NCAA, even if they desperately wanted to, has NO tools to record conversations. None. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART: When the FBI develops predication to record, and especially when they introduce an undercover agent, the existence of that technique, and of the investigation is completely closely held; to the case team ONLY. WHen I say 'closely held', that means that other FBI agents in New York who were not on the case team had no access to case materials. The failure to do so could produce false exculpatories, and could present a significant safety issue for the FBI undercover agents.

No mention of any joint participation by the NCAA in the investigation at the USAO presser. To me, that means that the NCAA does not have access to case materials, and will literally not be able to proceed on their own anytime soon.

A coach that hasn't been mentioned yet, but I'm thinking will be: BRUCE PEARL! Already on the naughty list - now Auburn is in deep, deep, doo-doo on his watch.

Chuck Person is gonna take a plea. I'm watching the presser; he's gonna have to.

CW-1 is the financial adviser, who was working off a Securities Fraud charge from last year.
