Odds on which half of the teams mentioned are going down?

Auburn no doubt.

Guessing
Cincy, Kansas, Duke, Michigan St, UNC, Ohio State, Arizona

Wow. Surprised this doesn't have its own thread.

It would be so very Tennessee for us to win our first ever title (or even make the Final 4) only to have it vacated because of this.

When this first came out, I didn't think we had much to worry about because we just haven'd had many top recruits lately.

Hall of Fame coaches, top programs and lottery picks are involved...If I were a fan of a blue blood I'd be beyond nervous right about now. This is gonna be a train wreck.

I guess I feel like we've never really recruited well enough (even under Pearl) to be caught up in anything like this. We certainly are not a blue blood program with any lottery picks (or any picks at all for that matter). The programs which immediately jump out at me are the programs that aren't blue blood but have started recruiting well recently. Auburn and Vanderbilt come to mind. As far as a blue blood program that might be involved (besides Louisville), how about Bill Self and Kansas?

Hell, this could be a blood bath by the time it's over with. You don't mess around if you work for the F, the B, or the I.

Wouldn't put it past any of the blue bloods at this point honestly. I'd be especially scared if I were a UNC, Duke or UK fan. But yeah I would assume we won't be invloved in this in any way (knock on wood just to be safe).

The NCCA will play the three blind mice. Some assistant coaches will get show causes but the basketball blue bloods will escape unscathed.

not going to matter if the FBI does what they seem intent on doing.

So you've got coaches, runners, and bagmen brokering deals to steer players to certain schools. I get the NCAA violations here. What I don't get is why this is an FBI issue. I mean, it's been going on in football and basketball since the dawn of major college sports.

Quite a bit of the charges are wire fraud which along with mail fraud has been a federal crime since the late 1800s.

I get that. But unless there is more to it that your garden variety major college recruiting tactics, I think fraud is a reach. It just seems like an NCAA issue, not a criminal one.

If you use the electronic transfer system to pay bribes, or to funnel money to an end recipient not named in the transfer, you've committed wire fraud.

So pretty much every lobbyist in Washington. I'd much rather the FBI clean up that crap than use their resources on college recruiting. But then again, the higher ups at the FBI are probably on the receiving end of some of those payouts from lobbyists.

All these "blue-blood" basketball programs being under the microscope must have North-Central Minnesota's Bemidji State University quaking in their shoes for fear of having the death penalty levied against them.......

That'll show those "blue-blood" programs a thing or two.....

It’s not a “rather” type of issue. The FBI doesn’t ignore one to pursue the other.

What’s the statute of limitations on this sort of thing?

Say Bruce is implicated in wrongdoings here,as well as, Auburn?

SOL for wire fraud is 5 years, 10 if it affects a financial institution. However, I'm unsure of all the crimes being alleged.

Why are they attacking little brother instead of big brother college football though? That’s the weird part. We know both are just as guilty.

Hope the Tigers/War Eagles/Plainsmen enjoyed their very small taste of success and Bruce has his bondsman on speed dial. Calipari too. This is going to get ugly fast for both, IMHO.

The FBI is involved because of the apparel company issue. The shoe companies don't have nearly as much influence on football.
