Tip number if you have information. 

I'm praying this opens up the floodgates. 

Indeed.  I think we've all felt suspicious about NCAA basketball for a while.  Those that have been skirting the rules need to be ferreted out and punished - no matter who they are or what school they're associated with.

I realize this is focused mostly on Adidas, but it will be incredible if Cal/UK come through this unscathed.

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! "

To add on I think when Crean got KJ I think it was a dirty move and we started getting players that I don't think were clean. You are pulling in an AAU coach that is used to shady environments asked to pull in recruits now. I don't believe for a minute he was clean while he was here. Also why I think he was gone quick. He could make more money being slimy elsewhere.

At least we can say "Former University of Kentucky head coach in the center of FBI Investigation"

They wont. There will be more coming out that implicates every apparel company. Duke should be sweating bullets too

I imagine he is thinking of his exit strategy and scared to answer his phone today.

And, Pitino's new nickname is now gonna be:

"COACH #2, THE BIGGEST D!CK-SWINGER IN THE BUSINESS"

Finally. The day has come. I hope this truly leads to cleaning this crap up. It's been dirty so long. Back to UNLV and the fab five in particular but probably longer. It was SO obvious to everyone.

The NCAA knew it. Now finally something will hopefully fix it.

Wonder how many 2018 recruits have been paid already?

I remember 250k talks about Anthony Davis. Lyle's Mustang. Webber got busted for 200k. Bluiett supposedly had his parents house paid off.

Well........

Crean is cleaner than most but probably not all the way clean as we can imagine. Kenny Johnson hire. Some of the Indiana Elite stuff. I think we will dodge these bullets but Crean was getting desperate there for a bit and that worries me.

I read a rumor that IU paid $10k to a player named in FBI documents as "MSB" to flip to IU from the University of the Incarnate Word. Could be big if true. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

If I was a UK, Duke, Kansas fan in particular I'd be very worried. The NCAA covers for them but this is above the NCAA.

Here's to hoping.

IU hit with death penalty for $10k payment to MSB while Louisville gets a stern warning for $100k payment to Bowen.

Yup. Those 3 schools should be in panic mode. Where most of the top guys are going right now.

LSU is another to look for

Dakich - "I really hope Indiana is not involved" 

With all the **** he flings about us nice to know he still cares

90% under market value! Crean always had a knack for finding the gems.

Nothing personal but you are crazy if you think it only took 10k to land MSB.

You gotta believe that since it's FBI and not the NCAA, people aren't going to be willing to fall on their swords and will be only too happy to start talking and cutting deals with the FBI.  And what do you think happens when the FBI shows up at the doorstep of Bruce Bowen's parents and starts asking questions?   I don't think too many parents/guardians that have involvement are going to be willing to sacrifice themselves.

I'd imagine there'll be a lot of singing 'canaries' and soon.

The guy just said that as far as he knows, the NCAA had no idea the investigation was happening until today.

The NCAA has turned a blind eye to a lot of things for a number of years. Is it really any surprise that another agency had to step in to start righting this ship?
