Several NCAA assistant basketball coaches arrested

Why? Their former assistant got arrested.

the main reason is because of dates...the other reason which i can't speak too much on here about is i have a relatively close relationship with the former operations manager under martin here...i'm communicating with him about this currently.

don't get me wrong, the optics look bad, but i'm going to wait for the scarolina/dozier/thornwell connection.
 
Pitino article from 2014, how he hated the shoe company influence in college basketball?
http://collegebasketball.ap.org/article/pitino-shoe-companies-influence-recruits

Really interesting article on what is wrong and how to fix it.

Article from way back in 1997 talking about the shoe company influence

The old if you can't beat them join them. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck. Just like Duke's big jump in recruiting since Capel joined the staff. I guess all of the 5 star recruits were going to UK and Duke for free. I can go to Arizona for $150,000 but no way when I can go to UK or Duke for free. Now I know how UK can get 3 five star players at the same position to commit to them while Roy can have a open position and not get a smell. Only a fan of Duke or UK couldn't see the corruption that's really going on. DSPN avoiding the pay for play with elite basketball recruits like the plague. Stephen A Smith and Kellerman talking about Trump and the NFL and avoiding the biggest story in sports right now.

Someone "decoded" the FBI's coding in the report. Not sure if it's 100% correct so take it with a grain of salt.

Universities:
1 - Auburn
2 - South Carolina
3 - Oklahoma State
4 - Arizona
5 - USC
6 - Louisville
7 - Miami (FL)

Players
1 - Mustapha Heron, Auburn
2 - likely Austin Wiley OR Danjel Purifoy, Auburn
3 - P.J. Dozier, NBA via South Carolina
4 - Jawun Evans, NBA via Oklahoma State
5 - Jahvon Quineryly, Arizona commit
6 - unspecified Arizona player (???)
7 - unspecified Arizona player (???)

8 - Charles O'Bannon Jr., USC
9 - De'Anthony Melton, USC
10 - Brian Bowen, Louisville
11 - Balsa Koprivica, Louisville target
12 - Nassir Little, Miami target

Bolded are guys we targeted in the past. I feel that one of the unspecified Arizona player(s) was a guy too. Perhaps Alkins or Lauri. Maybe both.
 
Rawle got paid, whether it's in that investigation or not.

His mom moved from the ghetto in BK to the nicest part of BK a month after committing to Zona.

ESPN rarely ever puts College Basketball headlines as the top story anyway. They treat it like a fringe market at this point. It's the main reason why so much of their CBB stuff is so lacking today. NFL and Politics sells.

This was posted 9 hours ago in this topic. Lol. Read people!

College basketball was the top 4 headlines on ESPN's website all day yesterday with Dwayne Wade 5th.
 
Then let the mods deal with it. There's bound to be duplications of information with a hot topic like this.



Then i'd love to know what those top 3 stories were about.
1 was the 10 arrested.
1 was vacarro talking about how he started all this in the 80s and its always been around.
1 was about Pitinos days being numbered.
1 was jay bilas analysis of it.
 
I hope this ends the AAU somehow
It won't, too much money to shut it all down and go back to strictly high school days of old. If AAU goes away, the camps just get that much more important, and these kids (many of them) just can't afford to get to the premier camps on their own dime. This goes deep. I don't know what the solution is, but OAD, if it wasn't going to be removed before this, has to be now.

The solution is rather easy, send violators to jail, show there is teeth in the punishment for committing the crime, these are federal violations of antitrust laws. It has been so easily gotten away with for so long that there was no belief of any punishment if they got caught other than maybe losing their job or reputation and even that was a hollow threat with EVERYONE turning a blind eye to what is so well known.

I linked an article from 1997 and it had been going on for years even then, this is nothing new folks, it is going to take a total tear down before it can be rebuilt, and I hope that is what this becomes. I do doubt that it will, but the FBI involvement does give me some hope.

It isn't just shoe companies and AAU/EYBL programs and sports agents, it is much deeper, there is a gambling element in this that no one seems to talk about but was center stage the last time college sports was rocked to its core. I believe the NCAA itself has been paid to look the other way for many years now, to much goes unexplained for there not to be a serious money trail that leads back to the NCAA headquarters. Mark my words, there is just to much money involved for organized crime not to be involved as a major player. But there is also so much money involved that those in charge of investigations even at the FBI can be paid to look the other way. So I suspect this will be contained to an unfortunate few, NCAA whacks a few programs just to say they addressed it and once again back to green flag racing, rinse and repeat.
 
Smacked down, accordingly? Boy I can't tell if that's just the arrogance talking or if you've truly lost your mind. Truly, I am shaking in my boots, gar. Whoa to the ones who don't bow to you.

I've long since learned not to take any advice you give. It really does work wonders. Being on a message board has a way of making threats very, very empty. So when you say "you best stay away from my posts" here's my general reaction:

Once again you do the work for me... and you're too dense to even realize it.
 
So what comes next in terms of other schools? I know Dook, UK, and Kansas are expected by some on deck. Will there be more reports like this for UA or Nike?
 
Perhaps take the personal dispute into a thread that isn't about what could develop into the biggest college basketball news ever
 
Nike wasn't named in the indictment right?
Three of the four coaches arrested were working at Nike schools. Merl Code worked at Nike and Adidas. The chances of Nike not being involved are slim to none. One of the other coaches arrested coached at an UA school, so it's reasonable to expect they could be involved as well.

Apparently Bowen is already off of Louisville roster
He was spotted on campus this morning.

Was he being "escorted"?

I mean will there be more names or further investigated info to come out in the foreseeable future? So far, it's been the same list of names and schools that we saw yesterday.

He's technically still enrolled and a student at the university. Who knows for how long at this point though.

Oh I totally believe that they are involved in the same kinda shit, I just didn't know if anyone got nailed from that company.

He might be on campus but no way is he eligible to play college basketball. PJ was suspended for a year for driving a rental car. Bowen received a $100,000.
 
Arizona and Miami were in the indictment as haggling over Little's price.

They are both Nike schools.
