You're probably right.  Rogue operator from Quantico named Blade or Ethan.  Huge UNC fan.  Risks it all for better recruits.  Good call.

 

(Y'all should listen to Stuhoo on this one.)

I have never interacted with the NCAA and have no idea about the integrity of their organization. Based on their performance, I can opine that they have problems.
The FBI? It has over 20,000 employees worldwide protecting the American public from both criminal and national security issues. There are a wide variety of skill sets and levels of competency within those 20,000 employees.It’s not an easy job, and it’s NOTHING like what you might deduce from tv shows or random interwebbery.
If you think that it’s corrupt and biased as an organization, you absolutely are entitled to your opinion, but I can assure you that opinion is remarkably misinformed.

The Hoover FBI was very, very, VERY different from the FBI of Kelley, Webster, Sessions, Freeh, Mueller, Comey, and Wray.

Random employees with biases? Sure. But an organizational disfunction? Thank goodness, no.

I would never base a opinion off of tv shows. I see now you have a close person involvement with fbi and i apologize if my uneducated opinion was insulting. I will never trust the government or people in general wirh 100 percent confidence. I feel they could be influenced by money. We will see what more comes of this i know it takes alot of time to gather evidence and go through a investigation of this magnitude.

I'm not saying that corruption doesn't exist to some extent within the FBI. What level of corruption is up for debate though.

Important positions at the Bureau require in depth clearances. These aren't one off and then you're set free to run rampant.

I've worked with enough people to know at least some branches of the FBI aren't corrupt.

I'm watching Special Report with Bret Baier. They had a report that said an Indictment opened today showed Rick Pitino was well aware of what was going on.

Oh, there will be some school out there that will hire him.  NCAA problems didn't prevent Calipari, Larry Brown or Kelvin Sampson from getting college coaching jobs and those are just the first 3 that come to mind.  Pitino very much deserves an NCAA show cause action such that he can never coach college ball again.

Sadly, I fear you speak the truth. What a cesspool.

I hope he keeps coming out with these self-serving statements and just keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper.
