I didn't see any UL coaches implicated in the list of coaches mentioned. Seems to be a little bit of an overreaction to me.

Almost every coach in college basketball is probably sweating bullets right now...

When will the names of these coaches spoken to at each school be announced...will they.

If enough big time schools are exposed in this will it end the NCAA as we know it?

What about this is an overreaction?

It is important to note that many of the allegations against defendants/U of L are either on wire tap, video or from undercover FBI.

Not at all surprising. College sports are filthy dirty and I've long been of the belief that all the big boys, and probably many of the smaller ones, are crooked as can be.

What about this is an overreaction?

No UL defendants implicated. Those at UL may just be implicating other participants.

Just means that they didn't break Federal law, but using third party to pay players to come there is a NCAA violation.

 

Coaches that have been arrested so far evidently also took money themselves...Coaches at School #6 only appear to have colluded to have money funneled to recruits.

 

If you don't want to believe it that's fine...but they appear to be neck deep in this.

My reading of the allegations thus far tells me it was more about getting players to endorse Adidas apparel, although that does imply funneling of players to programs with Adidas contracts.

Does it say how many players this affects?

Wow insane. I'm not celebrating , holding breath hoping nothing comes out about UK.

 

Same. :lol2:

You need to read more...it all appears to be out there and school #6 is almost assuredly UofL. Assistant Coach at school #6 says "We have to be careful with these payments, we are already on probation." If that school is UofL, then that alone is pretty damaging evidence. Also the coaches are on either audio of video, so they can't deny it when it all comes out.

Um people are going to federal prison. Seems like kind of a big deal.

UofL may be involved in nationwide FBI fraud sting of NCAA basketball programs, agents - Insider Louisville Joe Sonka lays it all out pretty well here...

 

UofL may be involved in nationwide FBI fraud sting of NCAA basketball programs, agents

This story is developing and will be updated.

 

Federal prosecutors in New York announced 10 indictments Tuesday morning involving a nationwide FBI sting probing fraud and corruption at NCAA men’s basketball programs, in which sports agents and apparel companies coordinated with assistant coaches to offer bribes that steered players to attend certain schools.

 

Assistant coaches for Oklahoma State, Auburn, Arizona and USC were charged in the sting, and while the University of Louisville was not specifically named, one of the indictments alleges in detail how a coach from a school meeting UofL’s description was involved in a $100,000 payment — by a company that appears to be Adidas — to land a star basketball recruit.

 

The indictment asserts that Jim Gatto — the director of global marketing for Adidas Basketball — and three other individuals paid $100,000 to the family of a star recruit in order to help one or more coaches from “University-6” land the player. The unnamed school is described as being a public research university in Kentucky with the exact enrollment as UofL, which also has a lucrative contract with Adidas.

 

While the recruit in question is not named, the indictment says that “Player-10” had “indicated a desire to attend a number of rival schools” that did not include “University-6,” but on around June 3 — right after the bribe scheme was allegedly agreed to — this player surprisingly committed to that school. The timeline and description of these alleged events appears to suggest that this refers to UofL recruit Brian Bowen.

 

Elsewhere in the indictment, the defendants are alleged to have worked with the same school and same coach on another scheme to bribe a different player to attend the school. In this section, the university in question is described as already being on probation with the NCAA, with one of its coaches allegedly involved in the scheme stating that “we gotta be very low key.” One of the defendants is also quoted as saying that a “Coach-2” at the school could also help secure payments for the player, saying “no one swings a bigger dick than (him).”

 

UofL faced harsh penalties from the NCAA this year for its escort scandal, in which a former assistant coach arranged strippers and sex for recruits and players over several years. UofL is currently appealing parts of that penalty, including vacating its wins over this period, including its national championship in 2013.

If ADIDAS made half way decent products they wouldn't have these issues.

 

They actually just passed Jordan Brand as the #2 seller of shoes.
