BREAKING MORE: Emanuel Richardson of Arizona is also a coach who has been charged in the corruption scheme according to court docs.

Wow, what?

USC's Tony Bland is the other assistant coach arrested.

FBI arresting?? What the heck is going on?

Looks like some assistant coaches and representatives from a clothing or shoe company are involved in corruption and fraud.

Indictment says it involves a school with 22,000 students. I think UK has more than that...UL or Western?

A quick google search shows UL with 22,600 enrollment and UK with 31,000...

$100,000 was funneled to the family of an All-American high school basketball player by an Adidas rep, according to what I'm reading

It appears one of the universities named in this indictment is University in Kentucky with 22,000 student. Sounds like UofL. Reading now.

Corruption in college sports!?!? Say it ain't so

Very early speculation but if it's Louisville and Pitino has another "rogue" assistant coach, can he survive that?

He can't and he shouldn't.

Jim Gatto, one of the Adidas' head basketball honchos, being arrested is huge news. Could mean some big names in college are about to drop.
