FBI arrests Assistant Basketball Coaches in Corruption Scheme

[rrlbees]

Where any player's indicted?

No because it's probably not illegal. But it's against NCAA rules and I expect some of these kids being declared ineligible. And regardless, we have to stay away from anyone involved in this.

 

[Alsacs]

Louisville do the right thing.

Self shutdown the basketball program and the NCAA should give all the players an extra year of eligibility a la Duke lacrosse and let them finish the year at Louisville and immediately transfer. Or finish the semester and immediately transfer.

UL may fire the whole basketball staff. How can you even allow the Assistant Coaches to stay? I would not bet against UL going to ACC and tell them they are cancelling the whole season after they fire the Staff.

Huge money in coal, natural gas and drilling to. One I'm aware of is a huge huge booster for Kentucky.

That too. Absolutely.

 

[Deano]

That's a lot of stripper money.

Why is Pitino the only head coach losing his job?

I do appreciate your opinion even though I do not agree with it. I would prefer to win.

Some of those you mention were issues giving my friend big problems. He's a developer and commercial real estate lawyer as well.

Can't speak for the others, but what I thin made him so quick was the problems with the last scandal. That was his last get out of jail free card. If there was a couple of years in between, maybe he had a chance, but right on the heels of the other one, no way.

That's OK. The Kentucky laws have really cracked down on contact at strip clubs. Or so I've been told.

 

[Orangello]

Good question. Practice starts in 2 days. Who will be coaching these kids?

Business as usual guys !

Cmon. First we don't even know if kids can be considered amateurs anymore.

Seconds, we are JUST NOW coming out from under sanctions, recruiting it's looking up, and you want to invite the wrath once again?

 

[SoBeCuse]

You should hear what he sounds like when your name is brought up!

Classy.

Look Boeheim has had his own set of issues. Lets not try to cast blame without realizing this happens almost everywhere.

Particularly since it was a UL Assistant Coach that was tapped.

I would think the next shoe to drop would be Larranaga. The ACC is going to be very interesting this year. They were 2 of the top 5 projected teams.

 

[CraigForth]

I think politics may play a small role in this too. The office involved (NY) is notoriously political and they got a lot of great press from this yesterday. Even if they don't get huge charges in the end, they will always have this case on their resume and can claim to be the ones that cleaned up the NCAA when it couldn't even do it on its own...don't underestimate that.

This. Very good point.

 

[chugg21]

Believe that Fran was just referring to Quinerly on espn, said there was a kid from NJ heading to AZ that didn't even care where he went to college as long as his family was taken care of.

Pearl, then Larranaga.

Was it an assistant or was it Pitino? I think it may have been Pitino himself...The Louisville board does too.

 

[dasher]

One thing I am sick of is this ex-player Tony Bland stuff. He is a San diego state grad. He was at SD St longer than he was at Syracuse. I expect we will be hearing ex Syracuse asst Rick Pitino any time now.

"I will work tirelessly to restore the ethical fabric of UL"

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Who do they hire? Are we assuming that the entire staff is gonzo. Their BOT is not going to touch any Pitino disciple with a ten foot pole. Does some out of work coach take the job on a temporary basis? There are plenty of guys like Frascilla, Dakich, Lappas. Do you give them a one year contract and look for someone for next season.

What's Tom Brennan up to these days?

 

[HOFCeluck]

1151. Should've made a bet.
