No, it is not something that we all knew has been happening.  Some may have suspected, some have alluded, while others have derided suggestions that there were bags of money being exchanged.

The sneaker companies working directly with assistance coaches to steer players is a little different than some of the booster nonsense that has taken place since the beginning of time.  Which, for the record, the NCAA SHOULD be looking to curtail, as well.

That money is being exchanged on such a grand scale, with sneaker companies actively being involved, is not something that was widely known.  Look in any thread about Calipari, and you'll see posters from this forum defend him as having never been directly implicated in having two schools vacate final fours.  So no -- this is not something that everybody "knew" was happening, accepted was happening, or understood how deep the corruption ran.  There's a difference between people having suspicions, and having confirmatory evidence -- which we now have, thanks to the FBI.

You need to stop painting with such a wide brush.
