If it were just the NCAA looking at this, I would say it would go away. But with the DOJ involved it's not going to end well for Auburn, Okie St, USC, or Arizona. The fact that USC got hit in football a few years back, and now this is very telling of what's going on in the money schools.
This is going to get real messy -
Probably going to open a window to a VERY seedy world
The NCAA can't make any of these coaches turn on other coaches in the NCAA, but the DOJ can. To avoid serious jail time can you imagine what these guys are going to expose regarding other programs!
are we going to be ok when all the dust settles? that is all I care about
This scandal concerns mostly 4 or 5 star players. Lots of one-and-done players. The four schools with coaches arrested are all Power 5 schools. I think this is only a start and more charges involving other schools could follow. Slick Rick could finally the boot at Louisville, as the feds are investigating them. Who knows maybe some other basketball blue bloods could be in hot water before this is all over. Who knows? Kentucky, Duke, UNC and the like always have top 10 classes, is somebody steering players their way? This could get really interesting.
As far as Tech? No way, we haven't had a real stud high school recruit. I think this is a Power 5 thing. Although Western Kentucky has the 9th rated class for 2017, according 247Sports........
Syracuse
UNC
OU
Okie State
Baylor
Gonzaga
Kentucky
Georgetown
Butler
I think it could dip down to some of the non-power schools in basketball - Nike has been dirty since the days of Sonny Vaccaro and his ilk
This isn't the NCAA where the coaches get a slap on the wrist and the school and kids are punished - this is the DOJ and prison time will be looming
To some extent it will touch everyone -
You know a cat like Nikita Wilson was in neck deep
Johnny Jones at LSU was Dale's bag man for shoe money - and you know Johnny had one when he was there
Stansberry at WKU probably was the first one to call the hot line to try to make a deal
This is crazy.
Friend of mine that follows this is saying that Petino will be released by end of next week.
ACC and NCAA already looking into death penalty for UL - and expulsion from ACC.
FBI may level the playing field for us!!
I'm listening to 97.7 and they're talking about it it. The whole thing is incredible! Read part of the transcript from a meeting with a player , an agent and a coach and how the payoff was made. Sounds like organized crime stuff. But, I guess it sounds like it because it is.
One of the asst U S Attorneys recommended if you ever did it, call the DOJ before they call you. Make a deal. Bet the phone lines are on fire.
