All the coaches charged are assistant coaches--go figure. I wonder how quickly the FBI will get them to turn on the head coach or Athletic Director?
I'm actually glad this is a Federal investigation...if the NCAA were involved it would be drawn out over a decade and all they would do is strip a Power 5 program of a couple of 'ships, ban them from the NCAA for one year (and allow the year the team didn't make the NCAA to be the penalty year), and put a "show cause" penalty on a coach if he were to be hired by another program. It's not ironic two of the programs under investigation is where a coach has had "show-cause penalties" or the University acknowledged and accepted penalties for illegal activities related to their men's basketball program.

5 named Universities. University #6 is Louisville. University #7 is Miami (FL). #6 and #7 are unnamed, but it's easy to connect the dots. The ACC has some major corruption going on in its ranks. These 2 and UNC in the the middle of an academic scandal... www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/press-release/file/998751/download |

Does anyone think the kids at these schools, even ones who didn't get paid, will have trouble getting recruited by other schools now?

Whats the chances the head coaches of these programs get their wins vacated for the time period of the scandal? I'm a fan of Boeheim and when his assistant coach was involved in a scandal it ruined his 1,000 win mark, so i'm hoping NCAA keeps that standard.

I think vacating wins is stupid. If you want to wait 20 years to verify wins then you might feel comfortable it probably happened somewhat fairly. If my team won 30 games in a year, it would be hard to forget it. I don't know how far you want to go into what is cheating...my guess is most every school looked the other way on something...grades, travel, a little spending money. Wouldn't that be just as bad as cases that involve hundreds of thousands or is a little lie acceptable compared to a bigger lie?
I know someone that found ( booster ) money in his locker after each practice. I was aware of someone that not only had a new car but it was customized. Those were a couple of lifetimes ago when you could make good money with Summer jobs without earning it. Kind of like baseball players that juiced but were never caught or weren't tested for.

The NCAA is a sham. Everybody that follows college-athletics knows that. So, the NCAA determined these African and Afro-American "studies" at UNC-Chapel Hill were paper-mill courses, but because only half the students that took these courses were student-athletes NCAA "investigators" couldn't prove these fake classes/studies were created to solely benefit student-athletes. Thus, no punishment. SMH. UNC-Chapel Hill intentionally created bogus studies and classes. Forget athletics for the moment. They should lose their Academic Accreditation for those actions. They should be sued by the Dept. of Education and lose their Federal Grants for putting in place corrupt and illegal practices. |

The NCAA is indeed a sham. If the Feds were not involved we would not even know about this. But hey, the NCAA is all over what they deem as politically incorrect mascots.

I thought it was interesting that the NCAA may or may not become involved in this situation. The defense for the companies are saying no federal law violated. The schools received “goods” so no fraud. If there will be a problem the NCAA will need to determine violations which then creates a problem for the schools involved. If the sanction these schools and no post season play for two years or NCAA money for other teams n their conference. Will create a real rumble.

Some reports are there are at least 3 Dozen programs involved. None of them mid-majors. It's reported that these "power programs" were intent on staying a power program. Thus their motivation to pay top player$. Same reports say some of those top coaches at those power programs knew what was transpiring...others were reportedly just ignorant to their own programs.
