FBI arrests Assistant Basketball Coaches in Corruption Scheme

[Cusefan0307]

Come on man. I'll give you Louisville. Different eras and sports re: USC/Miami. SU was busted twice under Boeheim. I still am not seeing anything about Miami being officially charged.

Administrations that were replaced should know better.

If you think what happened here twice compares anything close to this(i'll admit it does if we are caught paying someone)I think that's a crazy statement. Pot/YMCA/Jobs cheating on a paper=equals systemic payments to recruits???

You assume only the top players are worth that money. One Big East school I know pays $65,000 for all their players, and those are mostly 3 star guys. We're talking about billions of dollars spread across 50-60 teams with 12-15 players on each team. Each starter should be making 6 figures per year at least. Stars making in the millions.

The FBI has a tip-line set up ...

This mentions a 2018 recruit and $150k being offered. I wonder if that is Carey

Statement from PONY CEO:

"PONY has not paid any college athletes. We are innocent. Please buy more PONY sneakers."

This reminds me of, " Tom O'Brien, will be removing his name from consideration of this investigation."

Statment from the NCAA:

My take away from all this . . . people are going to get arrested, athletic programs decimated, people are going to lose their jobs, and fans are going to be upset . . . and the crazy thing is that nobody actually did anything wrong! These kids deserve to be paid for the money they generate and the schools want to pay them.

The real "crime" here is that all the high major D1 schools just can't agree to come together, separate from the NCAA (and all the smaller schools) and come up with a set of rules everybody can agree on and follow. If they just do that, everything will be above board and everybody will be happy (and rich). If not, each and every school runs the risk of being taken down, and which school it happens to is nothing more than luck of the draw.

If that happens at some point in the future (and it's a long way off), then what? One of the coaches in the new organization (P5?) will break THE NEW RULES, and it'll 'force' another school(s) to break the rules to compete ... and it'll snowball until we're back to the same problem we have now. People break rules whenever high stakes and money are involved. I don't have a problem with a member organization like the NCAA .. where every school has an incentive to make it work and weed out/punish the bad apples. The problem is, it's not working. There's a heavy bias towards big-money programs, and obvious reluctance to go after academic corruption (for one example) that involves top football and bb programs. Where are the B1G and the SEC in all this ... the rotten core of college athletics. They're not even "playing school" at these places .. and the NCAA's dogging us for footnotes and $10/hr. to ref' games at the Y?

Oh I agree with this. Just the whole issue of schadenfraude...

 

[Knicks411]

Wire fraud, tax evasion are definite threats and I'd think even potentially money laundering depending on how they handled the proceeds and whether they tried to hide the source of the funds.

Just thinking about it, for anything uncovered this year, they wouldn't have to pay taxes on it anyway.

Not that they were going to originally, of course, just saying now that it's out there.

Come on man. I'll give you Louisville. Different eras and sports re: USC/Miami. SU was busted twice under Boeheim. I still am not seeing anything about Miami being officially charged. USC and Bush getting hit the way they did was a damn joke. Just like SU. Meanwhile, Cam Newton/Auburn go under the radar unscathed.

Dude cmon man. Syracuse has been eliminated early from several prospects in our wheelhouse.
The charges we got nailed for were pure spite of JB's thumbing his nose at the NCAA.

This stuff is pay for play. I don't see Syracuse buying commitments.

We don't get top 10 guys. I think we know why we have been staying away.

Asked for is different than received. Sorry, I haven't read this whole thread, so I'm assuming UofL is still in the clear. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This should help us with Carey correct?

I wonder is the payments get exposed that plaers ex p

UofL recuit got paid...

Sad to say...I'm not totally sure SU won't be dragged into this. We are a historic Top 10 program.

Lol. We are a paranoid bunch aren't we.

Did Kansas get mentioned? I wondered if this is why we backed off Billy Preston?

hmmm. Well, if we all of a sudden "back off" his recruitment before he announces in two weeks, we will know why

So I'm guessing Uconn fans are lighting up the phone lines to take out enough programs in hope they can steal an ACC spot.

Brainstorming session going on in Pitinos office.

Hookers are off limits, now cash is a problem. What next?

I get this. Just saying that Miami hoops and USC hoops have never really had a history of cheating in the past. Louisville for sure. Again, more the issue of schadenfraude...

Yeshiva University is going on probation. Luckily they've got a good lawyer.

Why do they have a good lawyer?

 

[saltine44]

SOP for the FBI is to offer deals for any information that would implicate other individuals, or in this case schools. Put on some popcorn and enjoy the show. I can't believe that someone won't sing like a canary and implicate UK.

Mark we aren't likely involved in this.

JB hasn't been cheating in recruiting players. I don't see him having the patience to pay players to commit.

He is lax and treats his players like pros and isn't very discipline oriented but he wouldn't cheat like this.

We have been losing recruits so I actually think these indictments make him look better.
