:lol2: Yeah.

If this is a problem with adidas then it has to be UofL. UK and WKU are Nike, EKU and Morehead are Under Armor.

 

IF it is UofL and Pitino has another assistant go a-wall he can't survive this, it's too much. HE HAS TO BE FIRED.

He can't and he shouldn't.

 

I agree, but think it could be tough for Jurich to survive as well.

 

Obviously, they haven't been named yet, but from everything that is being reported, it sounds likely to be UofL.

This is just breaking, so not a lot of details available yet.

The FBI arrested 10 people on charges of charges of fraud and corruption in college basketball on Tuesday.

 

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that college basketball coaches at University of Arizona, Auburn, San Diego State, and Oklahoma State University and had been arrested, as well as managers, financial advisors, and representatives of a major international sportswear company. "

IF it is UofL and Pitino has another assistant go a-wall he can't survive this, it's too much. HE HAS TO BE FIRED.

 

Not just Rick... Entire basketball program has to be cleaned out. Enough is enough.

From a TMZ article....

 

The FBI claims Jim Gatto -- the Director of Global Marketing for Adidas Basketball -- paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to funnel top prospects to Adidas sponsored colleges ... including Louisville.

I agree, but think it could be tough for Jurich to survive as well.

 

Obviously, they haven't been named yet, but from everything that is being reported, it sounds likely to be UofL.

 

They aren't getting rid of Jurich and they shouldn't.

 

Exactly two issues in his 20 years at UofL. Both from the same program in the same 4 year stretch.

Bruce Pearl looks really bad in this as well....He doesn't have the luxury of being caught up in this kinda scandal and surviving IMO.

On June 3, the alleged bribe scheme took place and "almost immediately" after, the player agreed to come to the university - (U of L)

 

Press accounts called the player's recruitment a "surprise commitment" that "came out of nowhere" and a "late recruiting coup for coaches"

 

Brian Bowen?

How about Arizona?? I mean they had been getting some big time recruits the past few years.

Holy Crap!!!

$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

 

That reminds me of Shabazz Muhammed and him going to UCLA.

Seems likely.

 

I'll hold off on commenting too much until more facts come out.

It's not surprising that kids are getting paid but this isn't good for anyone involved. When the FBI comes knocking, it's very serious.
