I personally don't want to see any team get caught up in this. Glad it's being outed, but wishing it upon other teams isn't really a road I want to go down. Could easily be us as well.

For me, it's not so much about "wishing it upon other teams", as much as it is wishing that the other teams WHO ARE DOING THE SAME THING also get hammered for their actions.

If it does it does, but innocent until proven guilty.

My question here would be relative to "guilt by association". If a school like Louisville is one of the first dominoes to fall, and slick Rick is the first head coach to get axed, and at least one of the assistant coaches on Pitino's staff is implicated, how can one, with a straight face, claim that other assistant coaches are not involved to some extent? And I define "involved" to include everything from having their fingerprints on the evidence, to even knowing that something was going on. There are sins of commission as well as sins of omission... and when the cesspool is this deep, is one really more egregious than the other?

Guilty by association is very plausible. It is said that KJ was not apart of the document, but another associate coach was mentioned without a name or codename. I'm just overly curious as to what this will do to Slick Rick, if it is true that he is "coach 2"?

Another interesting angle to this, Adidas and presumably the other shoe companies effectively damaged programs they have contracts with to promote ones that were willing to "play the game" with them. If I'm the innocent programs under the Adidas umbrella, I'm hitting them hard about contracts.

Yep. There could be quite the changing of the guard on teams and their shoe companies

Yup...Oregon football and basketball are likely bribing players too!  :)

Head coaches know everything that goes on with their program, AD's know everything that goes on within their department, and university presidents know everything to happens at their university. Tone at the top either allows or prevents cheating and misconduct of this complexity at all levels. Everyone in the chain of command is complicit in this, in my opinion.

No reason to change unless one of those companies makes a much better offer. Or a new company makes their way into the fold. Looking at you, big baller brand!

Lavar just doing exactly what the shoe companies are doing right out in the open; making his athletes rich and directing them to the accommodating programs. He's an interesting character openly challenging the NCAA like he has. I respect it.

I completely agree. If your name is on the door, then you own what happens there. End of discussion.

Yeah. I think he knew exactly what he was doing by running his mouth and saying outlandish stuff. It is eccentric but I bet he is much more wealthy now than he was when he started. He's kind of a genius, in a way, and I definitely respect it
