Is the proverbial shoe about to drop on college basketball royalty?

[Deano]

Kansas is definitely on my list. Duke will be interesting to watch...I'm not sure they'll be found to be actively paying players

Ever since Jeff Capel ($$$$) came back Dook is getting top players left and right. Them and UK are the two dirtiest programs right now.

 

[Shark58]

does the list go public?

if so, when?

 

[CousCuse]

Maybe the reason that no Dome renovation has started is because SU is on the list.

 

[albanycuse]

No way Duke and Kentucky are clean, if they don’t get hammered then this investigation is a sham in itself.

So the University knows what the FBI has? No.

 

[reedny]

Did player B pay taxes on that income?
There is your federal law violation and the IRS/DOJ way in.

Schools receiving federal funding. Conspiracy. IRS. Money laundering. Even RICO. Lots of ways in. The FBI investigation is disturbing to see, but we all know college hoops is dirty and the NCAA is protecting the fat cats. That's the nice thing about the FBI -- is that they don't care.

The one thing I don't get is, since they don't care, why are they waiting until the end of the season to release what they have found?

I doubt it has anything to do with the season. They have no urgency. They go through the evidence piece by piece and see what happens. Much of it is following the money trail, just like Mueller's doing.

 

[bpo57]

FBI is not the NCAA.

The NCAA will probably say they didn't know anything about the schools involved. Or like they did earlier, infer that because they knew there were other agencies (FBI) involved, they didn't want to get in the way.

Hopefully, whatever happens, it will make the NCAA look like the irresponsible organization that they are.

With the FBI who knows? They've been doing their best imitation of the keystone cops over the last few years. Latest installment- dropping the ball on the Florida shooter.

Dropping the ball? How many threats do they hear about every day? This knocking of the greatest law enforcement agencies in the world has to stop. Yes, the New York branch under Kallstrom was a mess. But as a whole, they do a great job in difficult times. The problem isn't the FBI. It's the ridiculous number of powerful weapons that are available to the mentally unstable. One of Trumps first acts was to negate a measure that Obama made to keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally disturbed. I am all ears on what they FBI could do to a guy that hasn't done anything yet? If they tried, we would hear about jack booted thugs clamping down on a mentally disabled man who hadn't done anything.

They never bothered to investigate a serious tip about somebody bent on mayhem and destruction. Yeah I'd call that dropping the ball.

Rank and file morale within the FBI is awful.

 

[CousCuse]

So the University knows what the FBI has? No.

Would't they know if things had happened that would be uncovered by the investigation?

 

[pfister1]

If school X thru their shoe company is paying player A 100k to go that school and player A isn’t paying federal taxes on that income that violates federal law.

Except the players aren't the subjects of the idictments. This hasn't been a tax fraud prosecution to this point.

I agree that the New York FBI branch is a recovering disaster. But things are getting better. And the morale overall is as good as it can be when you have a ignorant president knocking them every day for doing their job. This is the wrong board for this but some trues need to be told. We both know that nothing could be done with this guy until he actually did something. We don't live in Russia, yet.

 

[dasher]

Nope.

 

[CousCuse]

Nope.

Are you trying to tell me that the chancellor isn't aware of this investigation or that he is "not worried" about the ramifications if SU was even tangentially implicated.

I'm telling you that the Syracuse University chancellor has no inside knowledge of the FBI investigation and where we stand in it if we are indeed in it. Think of how many people would know if Kent knew. You don't think the whole thing wouldn't already be known in the media with that kind of knowledge? Does the Chancellor at Kentucky know? Duke? Kansas? Indiana? And on and on.

If I were the chancellor of one of these universities, I would damn well want to know. You may have to hire specialists to find this out, but it can be done.

No. it really can't. Plus, you are going to spend a lot of money to try and find out if we had something to worry about? First, they won't get anything fromn the Feds and second, the feds would start wondering why you thought you had something to worry about. Send a letter to the feds and ask for a copy of the file they have on you. If they have one, they will send you a copy. If they don't, they take the letter you sent and make a file. No kidding. Kent doesn't know and he hopes there is nothing to know. If there is, he will find out soon enough.

That guy needs to be exiled from basketball. Shame on ESPN or whoever it was that hired him in the studio in recent years.

I'm continually stunned the man is coaching basketball now as it as he shouldn't have been allowed to do so to begin with.

Well, the timing of the dome announcement, which has been put off a long time, and the release of the case by the Feds coincides. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

With zero inside knowledge obviously, I strongly think they completely unrelated.

Yep. For sure shame on those schools. Just don’t understand how they make those moves.
