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

If it's us again JB has to be toast.

I don't think it is possible for us to be involved. We just don't get involved with blue chip recruits anymore. Maybe we are about to find out why.

 

[jncuse]

Because proving that ‘darling little school’ to be cheaters, would make my goddamn day.

Screw them and the Gonzaga fan boys on here who worship them.

I have made a TON of $$$ betting against them in the tourney though.

But oh well, fluck em.

Anybody that makes logical arguments against Kaiser terrible takes is labelled a fanboy or some other insult. In that case, I am glad to be a fanboy or whatever term he has called me ... over and over for 3 years running.

Dear James Naismith in the sky, I hope so. Some 36 different teams puts a lot of recruits in play

I don’t know who u are, but I’ll guess a zaga fanboy.

Of course the big boys I’d like to see go down, forgot how dumb people are on here, and how you have to spell e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. out for them, it’s why I mostly stay away.

That said, yes...please let me see Gonzaga on that list.

No way Cuse is on it, not possible.

My top ten wish list -

• Kentucky
• Kentucky
  
• Kentucky
  
• Kentucky
  
• Kentucky
  
• Kentucky
  
• Kentucky
  
• Kentucky
  
• Kentucky
  
• Gonzaga

I'm just kidding. It's Kentucky.

Seriously, my guess is that no big names get touched. It's the NCAA that would be doing the enforcement, not the FBI.

36 schools is a lot.

 

[dasher]

36 schools is a lot.

What about Georgetown?

 

[Shark58]

What about Georgetown?

who?

 

[whobut03]

The NCAA will be so mad at Kentucky they’ll penalize Cleveland State.

 

[billsin01]

As we have been finding out being on the bubble every year

Eh, I don't know how much stock I'd put in our being completely clean. Maybe, but it's not like we haven't gotten highly regarded players in that span.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Around 65 P5 Schools so over half of the P5 Schools if around 36 are named? Wow!

 

[STEVEHOLT]

This is the Feds. They don’t care who goes down. Probably talking about prison for some people here.

oooh.. prison for paying someone so a kid goes to school somewhere. meanwhile nobody went to jail when HSCB admitted they laundered millions if not billions for drug cartels. sounds about right.

 

[syrcuse]

Top 10 wish list:

• Kentucky
• Duke
• UNC
• UConn
• Villanova
• Georgetown
• St. John's
• Maryland
• Indiana
• Arizona

Can we add one?? Kansas has been killing it on the recruiting trail for years. 1b) new problem - Oregon.

I really rather have this go away... just my gut feeling. I the status quo remain. Weve gotten a lot of good players over the years...

 

[Newhouser]

Lot of smoke with these kind of releases. So far more headlines than action, I'm in wait and see mode.

 

[Brooky03]

The whole investigations stems from Adidas AAU and Adidas schools, unless something changed that I missed. Look at the Adidas schools first, then look at Nike (and UA I suppose) schools who landed 5 star recruits from Adidas AAU programs.

IMO, there's your list.

Which schools wear Nike, Adidas and Under Armour?

Your P5+ Adidas schools:
Tulsa, East Carolina, Louisville, Miami, NC State, G'Tech*, Kansas, Indiana, Nebraska, Rutgirls, ASU, Miss St., TAM.

13. And half barely register top-100 recruits, let alone, the top-10 or -20. There has to be quite a few Nike and UA schools if the OP rumor is accurate.

No way to know for sure, but with the NCAA hanging on our back porch 8 of the last 10 years (that's how long they investigated SU), my guess is that we are not part of this fray.

 

[CousCuse]

Syracuse was ransacked with penalties for A. Some players smoking weed ( No other SU students do this.), B. A few players getting paid a few hundred dollars for refereeing summer games run by a charity and C. 1 player from the barrios of Brazil who couldn't really read or write English that well, got help writing a paper which was about his life story and how he got to Syracuse ( No other SU students have people help or write papers for them). These schools involved in this investigation payed players to come to their teams. Question, What penalties should they get.

 

[cuse10]

• LSU
• Western Kentucky

 

[IthacaMatt]

If it's us again JB has to be toast.

I think we have been out of the business of paying for players since the probation in the early 90s, and the story about Rob Johnson in Raw Recruits.

I think that is borne out in how certain top players who call us their dream school are mysteriously never pursued.

 

[GoSU96]

If JB is paying for players I'd have at least expected better results.

 

[kirbivore]

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.

I hope the Feds can arrest Emmert on a RICO statute.
