College coaches in corruption scheme

This could get quite ugly! I bet there are a ton of people that are going to be holding their breath for a very long time until the dust settles.
 
Rumor is that Adidas was also paying kids to pick Adidas sponsored schools and then sign with Adidas after they left to play professionally.

Adidas schools include: KU, Louisville, Indiana, and UCLA
 
Rumor is that University #7 that paid $150k for a player is Miami (also an Adidas school).
 
But I thought we were the cheating Gooners? They're sparkly clean up there. There must be a mistake.

KU has nothing to fear. If the Jayhawks can come through the series of scandals unscathed that stunk up that program last year, chances are good this investigation will be no more than a minor annoyance.
 
That is most likely the case. However, one cannot overlook the bitterness of a teammate who discovers of another teammate getting paid when he did not get paid.
 
I would say watch out UCLA, but we all know BBB wasn't takin' no money from no damn Adidas unless it was a billion.
 
How does Louisville not end up getting the death penalty for this?
 
Capel's been gone long enough that anything that may have happened during his tenure wouldn't have been found out in this investigation?

"We got lucky on this one," Pitino said at the time. "I had an AAU director call me and say, 'Would you be interested in a basketball player?' I said ... 'Yeah, I'd be really interested.' But [Bowen and his people] had to come in unofficially, pay for their hotels, pay for their meals. So we spent zero dollars recruiting a five-star athlete who I loved when I saw him play. In my 40-some-odd years of coaching, this is the luckiest I've been."

Rick Pitino has always been such a lucky fellow.

The United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced early Tuesday that a press conference will be held at noon ET to detail charges of fraud and corruption in college basketball against four current assistant coaches -- Arizona's Emanuel "Book" Richardson, Auburn's Chuck Person, Oklahoma State's Lamont Evans and USC's Tony Bland. Managers, financial advisers and representatives of a major international sportswear company are also involved.

The four basketball coaches were arrested late Monday.

I wonder if they were arrested on-campus at their basketball offices. That would have been quite a scene.
