Corruption in College Basketball

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,192]

Would they risk it by potentially being pulled into it? I’m not sure about that. I wouldn’t put it past Nike to do what they could to bury Adidas but they wouldn’t do something to hurt themselves.

Enough money could persuade some. The FBI isn’t exactly faithful to their job, unbiased or hard to manipulate. It would make for alone heck of a movie too. All to try and make Oregon basketball #1 in the awful PAC-12.

Joe I am guessing you don’t know any FBI agents to make that hot take.

I agree. There is a 99.9999% chance that  Nike was playing the same game so I would assume they would have preferred for these type of activities to stay underground.

Agreed and they are winning a lot of those battles too. Why disrupt the status quo? When was the last Adidas champ in either major sport? Kansas?

By only bringing predicated cases to the United States Attorney's Office, with probable cause to support a federal grand jury indictment, and sufficient proof to support a conviction with proof beyond a reasonable doubt as assessed by a trial jury?

Or by your standard of 'doing what feels right to you'?

Well after all the BS in the political world and the fact that Comey would have been the boss at the time for a lot of this... not saying they are all bad, but the FBI can be put on an agenda.

Yes because in the political world they are worried where Jonathan Kuminga goes as much as the president. I can see parallels there if I squint really hard. So much so I now see why you disparage the FBI as one. It is all clear to me now. Those damn agendas. Guessing the March Madness Office pool finally got us when someone decided to raise the stakes. FU Adidas!!! Burn in Hell!!! We only wear Puma now!!!

The FBI has about 13,000 Special Agents and over 25,000 employees, very few of whom have any contact with any senior executives in Washington DC as the work their investigative assignments.

Facts aren't allowed. I see the name change hasn't changed Joe much

I’d say political posts aren’t allowed but this is so much nonsense not sure it counts

I'd laugh at the posts, but it begs incredulousness.

It’s supposed to be nonsense.

The nonsense was a success.

Unfortunately, the NCAA is a joke and every college program now knows that unless you self report, they aren’t going to do anything. Louisville literally paid for prostitutes to have sex with teenagers, on campus, while recruiting them, and all they had to do was fire a sleezy coach and “sit out” a postseason in a year they weren’t making the tourney anyway. Two years later they got a coaching upgrade, are ranked #6 in the country and have a top 5 recruiting class next year. Bill Self flat out states in a text he’s paying for recruits, and months later wears a gold dollar sign chain to midnight madness while Snoop Dogg makes it rain fake dollar bills on the fans. Top-5 team and a top five recruiting class coming next year. (Also a contract extension signed with Adidas)
 

The NCAA is not going to do anything except delay their investigation and response for as long as it takes for the public to forget about it enough to not notice they didn’t do anything at all. Too much money at stake. The big machine has to keep turning.

Southern Cleveland State Poly Tech is about to get hit with so many sanctions 

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

pUKe, Dook, Louisville, UNCheat, Kansas, M$U, P$U (sorry couldn’t think of clever wordplay for all of them) all deserve to be fired into the sun but nothing is going to happen, ever. 
 

And wait....Players from Northwestern? I read that right?

[AKHoosier 6,578]

.."a development that could be a potential game-changer in the NCAA’s ongoing probe of corruption within the sport."

LOL.  Clearly nothing is going to be done.  Will Wade is on tape discussing bribes and he's about to win a league title.

I'm not sure why this is even still a story.  No one will pay for this other than assistants who have already been fired.
