ORUTerry Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Louisville appears to have been caught on video buying a recruit with Adidas money. Several assistants at various schools have been arrested(!) https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-needs-give-louisville-basketball-death-sentence-bombshell-allegations-prove-correct-181930063.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 You joke - but woe to any mid major team caught in this scandal. Of course, that won’t happen because the high rated recruits go to the power 5 schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I hope they give the "death sentence" to those schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Pitino is and always has been a total slimeball.....he deserves everything he gets....of course, he claims to be shocked that more illegal activity has occurred under his watch.......hopefully he has coached his last game.....

darrenj Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The weird thing about Evans the assistant coach from OSU is he is making $600,000.00 per year and is the lead recruiter for them and was getting maybe $2000.00 to $3000.00 per month for all of this... Really? What the heck was he thinking? Not like they had some high level sure 1rst round draft pick kids. At least he was asking for $5,000 a month and they told him no! Geez! Now he is literally done and will get lucky to be making $30,000.00 a year once he gets out of jail. Why??? By the way you know those guys will be singing like a canary to the FBI to serve as little time as they possibly can. Lots of nervous people out there right now for sure. With Pitino and Miami and other schools that got caught. Why would they meet? What happened to the old fashioned leave a bag of $$ in a locker? Not very smart.

I think that the practice of shoe companies funneling players to schools became so common and well known that coaches didn’t think they had to hide it anymore.

ORUalum Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It's going to take perp walks from execs at Adidas (or Nike) for anything to change. A few assistants charged and Pitino losing his job won't change a thing. The thing that has amazed me is how many of the college basketball experts on ESPN seemed to shrug their shoulders as if it was no big deal (business as usual) and some justified illegal payments to student athletes. Dick Vitale seems like the only guy upset on ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I say give them the same treatment SMU received. In other words, kill the programs. That will send a strong message throughout the entire NCAA. Oh and while they are at it, send anyone involved to prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacAlum Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Not only does the NCAA not care about enforcing this, they're probably hoping the FBI (who also probably doesn't care, not in any real way) stops digging once this investigation has concluded so that they can return to business as usual. Otherwise, what's stopping these companies from steering high schoolers to play a year overseas and paying them there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORU82 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Sadly Dr. C I have to agree with you, although it is what is deserving and would send a BIG message to the college sports world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Talking-and-tweeting heads say another round of indictments and arrests is just around the corner; Scott Drew of Baylor has been mentioned as a possible target.
