So that's Auburn, Oklahoma State, USC, and Arizona as the schools.

WSJ is reporting an appeal executive is going to be charged too. I think all of those teams except for auburn are Nike schools.So that's Auburn, Oklahoma State, USC, and Arizona as the schools.
2 of the shadiest coaches in the land in Sean Miller and Bruce Pearl are two of those head coaches. Curious to learn all the details but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are involved in this.

Update. Nike and Adidas are involved. It looks like there is a conection to Miami and a "public research university" in Kentucky.

WOW!
USC, Arizona, Ok. St, and Auburn: these are some interesting programs since there have been rumors about all of them in bball and/or football for years!
Maybe the NCAA might have a new toy to play with and will leave us alone! (Probably not though, lol)
Did anyone else hold their breath while reading this either hoping puke or Kentuck would be listed or, more importantly, that UNC would NOT!
Told this board about this several months ago and gave some scenarios on how the shoe companies do this.

And maybe Louisville......?
Bet those guys that only got hookers feel cheated.
Not good news for UL. I was hoping it would be UK.
"And while he's listed as Player-10 in court documents, part of Louisville's section clearly references the Cardinals' recruitment of late signee Brian "Tugs" Bowen, with Adidas allegedly agreeing "to funnel $100,000 (payable in four installments)" to Bowen's family."
ETA: According to the court docs they have wire taps, electronic surveillance and other hard evidence proving this. It's not just going to be a hearsay deal.
Hope none of these schools offered easy classes that athletes participated in. They would be really screwed then.
Think this is going to be huge. The shoe companies have been a known shady vehicle for recruiting for years, but the NCAA was never willing to crack down on them. Looks like that might change now.
I wonder if this is the "Seismic" shift Fran Franschilla was talking about.
I assume UNC isn't involved. Is this the entire list?

Miami and UL are involved. Adidas sponsors a lot of schools. If their executive wants to plead out, there are lots of schools he could name.Think this is going to be huge.

Reddit claimed he paid 100k for Bowen. If it's true, I have to imagine that's the end of his career.
Strongly doubt that will be the whole list but it is very interesting that it took the FBI to bring this public rather than the NCAA. I would be shocked, more than shocked if there is such a thing for UNC to have been involved in any of this.
Even many of our own fans may laugh at me for saying this but I do strongly believe that UNC is and has been one of the cleanest programs in the NCAA. Yes, of course we have and have had some skeletons in our closet but not nearly to the extent most of the NCAA has. The big deal made out of our AFAM issues is nothing but smoke, not that it was a great thing but that it was minor compared to what goes on at most of the blue blood NCAA schools. The reason the AFAM stuff was treated as such a big deal is that we were the NCAA's gold standard program and everyone wanted to take us down a notch so they would not look as bad.
