Class of '66 Old Fart Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Coaching fraternity friendships are going to be thrown out the window on this one and it will be every man for himself. Won't at all be surprised to see the assistants named today to start throwing other names at the FBI. More than one pundit has described today as merely the tip of the iceberg. At least for the time being, it's nice to know that the B1G has stayed out of the mess. hsrtxp, reconmkd, thebigweave and 3 others 6 Quote

From everything I have read, the total charges against those arrested yesterday could result in 80 year sentences (not likely with plea deals and such). Someone is going to sing, just a matter of time. Quote
HoosierD Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I would guess that most of us knew that this stuff with shoe companies, coaches, and recruits went on. I would also guess that most of us didn't think THIS is how it would start to get cleaned up. Going to be a very interesting time for CBB.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Crimson and Cream, Stromboli and reconmkd 3 Quote

It's kind of the opposite. I always suspected that these things went on, but didn't know for sure. However, I always firmly believed that if it was going on, the only way to clean it up would be through recorded conversations, not through a regulatory agency like the NCAA that could only look at the situation historically, through document examination and interview.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app IUsafety, reconmkd and Toothdr 3 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app No worries Stu. I didn't think you were coming off as a smart a$$ anyways. I honestly hadn't put much thought into how it would be cracked down on, but thought it would be years later and a long drawn out process through the NCAA that would end up not changing much. This certainly seems like it's going to change the game and I agree that this is what it will take. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Stuhoo 1 Quote

I sincerely hope the FBI along with the NCAA are able to clean college sports. The main reason UL will get the death penalty is due to their prior charges, level of cooperation, current charges, evidence, and they just don't like being embarrassed by repeat offenders.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierAloha, Crimson and Cream, Iugradman and 1 other 4 Quote
