FBI arrests Assistant Basketball Coaches in Corruption Scheme

[pfister1]

I don't understand the desire to see kids paid. If we go to a true free market system, I think SU is dead athletically. We don't have the money that the large public institutions can generate. And we know we dont have the heavy hitter "angel" boosters.

 

[tep624]

Well, they all accepted money presumably without declaring it as income which would be felony income tax fraud. That's pretty wrong.

Income tax evasion, wire fraud, money laundering, lying - nothing morally wrong there!

Cuse going down because Jim took Buddy's mom to a McCartney concert

JB has done a lot more with our recruit's mother.

 

[PhatOrange]

Nobody will flip on World Wide Wes. He strikes as the type of dude who could have 12 people whacked in prison at the same time.

to big to fail

 

[General20]

Yeah because being dishonest isn't amoral or anything.

:bat:

Don't you see, that's exactly my point. They are lying and cheating about something that nobody has a problem with them being open about. It is ONLY the lying and cheating that is wrong. They should have brought all of this above board decades ago.

This is big and I'm sorry but teams are drastically changed with these guys they are paying. How many prospects did Syracuse lose as a result of this crap.

 

[General20]

Reminder: We're still down scholarships because Fab Melo got help on a paper and a few kids got paid to speak at the YMCA.

If our "scandal" came out at this point, would we even be punished? Comparing our sanctions to what the punishments for this corruption should be will be insulting.

I said it at the time . . . the fact that a 10 year investigation only resulted in one kid getting help on one paper and a few kids smoking pot means we have the cleanest program around.

He's made multiple deposits in her...account. Giggity.

Did we open the wallet for Buddy B?

Only on Christmas and his birthday.

For me personally, it's because this is bigger than what happens to Syracuse.

Also, I believe Syracuse would be fine, anyway.

Wow never expected a 350 post thread on the basketball board today - well, not one that wasn't the usual offseason man vs zone debate.

*dumb comment incoming*

what exactly is wire fraud?

Pitino is a HOF coach so that is one.

Miller is on the trajectory to HOF coach so he is another.

Miami, South Carolina, Auburn, USC, Oklahoma State are just Middle programs.

Larranaga is HOF level.

what exactly is wire fraud?

You have internet access - which means you have Google.

*dumb comment incoming*

what exactly is wire fraud?

I think -- but could be wrong -- that wire fraud is when you use the telephone or Internet to commit crimes. Or when you illegally record HBO's The Wire.

Why won't they just name the schools?

The guy just said they were all public schools?

I heard JB had him over his house for dinner numerous times, and took him on vacations. Also paid for all of his medical bills for years.

great, Frozen, your sarcastic comment just cost JB another 200 vacated wins.
