Corruption in College Basketball

[HoosierAloha]

Barf.  I just want to watch basketball.  Amateur basketball, preferably.  

How old are you? I highly doubt you've ever truly watched amateur basketball at the collegiate level.

Saw this early this morning, but wanted to see if it got any more news before I mentioned it. Sounds like everything is still fluid and we won't know too much until each investigation into each school is wrapped and either changes are filled or the FBI hands each case to the NCAA for violations. We could be on a train of information that spans months or even years.

Things keep up the way they're going and there won't be any place but IU for Langford to go. lol

The snowball is rolling down hill now. Hard telling how many schools/coaches will get caught up in this once everyone starts talking.

FBI says it cannot release documents regarding KU involvement with Adidas

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, told the Kansan on Wednesday that it has documents related to the University of Kansas and its sponsorship with the Adidas apparel company, but cannot release them due to an ongoing legal investigation.

I think this is terrible journalism. First of all, it's a student paper. Not to say that students can't be journalists, but they are basing this entire article on the fact that the FBI isn't releasing documents on an ongoing investigation. They probably have documents pertaining to every Adidas affiliated school as they should. They are doing their due diligence. 

Think this is merely some kid thinking they've uncovered a bombshell when really it's just a piece of junk.

So I clicked that link above. There is a picture & caption with the story.... Am I understanding this correctly? Lamont Evans appeared as a defendant in Federal Court wearing a Nike running suit? I have no first hand experience in these matters, but I'm going out on a limb and calling that a mistake for a host of reasons. Does he have legal representation? Did they not mention wearing plastic clothing might not send the right message?

Except do you really think the ncaa will do anything?

The NCAA finds that everyone has access to money so no wrongdoing here.

Let’s just cheat cheat cheat ! The NCAA is a complete joke, they don’t deserve our money but I just can’t stop watching college football/basketball :(

Two people involved in the case said they expect more college coaches and others involved with grass-roots basketball programs to be charged later this month.

“This is the tip of the iceberg,” one of them said.

 

I'm loving this............."drain the swamp"

I hope the media comes down hard on the NCAA on this one. They won't though

I think the moral of the story here is:

Big programs and the NCAA know that cash is exchanging hands and they have been fine with it for a long time. So long as it's on their terms.

And of course the NCAA gets paid. I really hope the FBI finds the NCAA had knowledge and blows up the NCAA.

Please avoid political jokes here everyone. Won't give out many warnings on political jokes. Little starts the fire faster.

The media is a bigger joke than the NCAA so I don’t see that happening.
