Good to see, but no contact with ASM via school account email or texts does not necessarily mean no contact via email or text.

Didn't want to add to the mess in the Romeo thread so I'll put this here.

I'll say 90% of 5* recruits are getting something for their commitment. Romeo is a 5* so there is a 90% chance there is something going on at some level.

This does not mean Romeo or his family are bad people. This doesn't mean it's Romeo or a direct family member that's benefiting from his commitment.

Vandy landing a class in the stratosphere of a puke or Dook class is telling. Is there evidence that Vandy is cheating? No. Is there shadiness going on? Absolutely.

Tl;dr There's a good chance someone is benefiting from romeos recruitment. Vandy is shady.

Innocent until proven guilty is the standard used to convict people and send them to prison. “Guilty because I think so” is more than an appropriate standard for message board conclusions!

 

Besides, the Simi Shittu recruitment is pretty strongly odorous circumstantial situation.

Guilty until proven innocent = common sense without the burden of the law

And should be more than enough for the NCAA to ask to take a deeper dive into certain recruitments, see LSU.

Dan Wetzel - Yahoo Sports:  Federal prosecutors have filed additional counts against ex-Adidas rep Jim Gatto in college basketball fraud scandal. Involves payments to the families of former players at Louisville, Miami, Kansas and N.C. State.

Subsequent info:  Silvia Da Sousa may be involved.  Also Billy Preston and Marcus Garrett

And to clarify, it's not additional stuff against L'ville and Miami just a rehash but for Kansas and NC St. it's all new.

Don't count on Mark Emmert and the NCAA to hand out any real punishment to these teams. Remember they just let UNC off completely after they admitted to committing academic fraud for 18 years to keep players eligible. Emmert needs to be fired. 

I've said these FBI related shenanigans will be a huge benchmark for the NCAA.  Considering that some people involved may get prison terms, they're (NCAA) going to be under the microscope.  If Louisville, or any other school found similarly guilty isn't given a strong punishment, it's all over for them as an organization.  Then again, like you say, they let the UNC violations disappear into thin air, so I'm not putting money on it.

Seriously! What a sham and house of cards the NCAA continues to be proven to be. Totally inept. Emmert still there just proves there is absolutely no accountability. You figure he would resign in embarrassment.

That's the absolute worst case from a Kansas perspective... but with a post season ban, it might be enough keep you-know-who home next season.

At a minimum, the NCAA has to force these schools to vacate any and all wins in which the paid players were on the court.

Then let they’ll let them pick a few pre-season cupcake games to sit the coach.  Finally, if the offense they committed was really egregious, the NCAA will let them choose the year they’d like to be tourney ineligible.  (ie. one they had no chance to make it or do well anyway).  Oh yeah, and another blue ribbon commission to tell everyone that it’s all good now, nothing to worry about in major college sports.

I think now romeo wont go to kansas but still Kansas won't see many sanctions. The ncaa won't touch them.
