Bush got something though, it's not clear the players these assistants were delivering were getting anything. Again, this is apparently a totally separate case from the Addidas money funneling.

This may be true for other schools, but the FBI has an Auburn player on audio and video recording receiving money from a financial adviser with Chuck Person in the room. This all happened in a hotel room in Manhattan when Auburn played BC in Madison Square Garden last year.

I'm a little concerned about Lamont Evans' involvement because he was an assistant at South Carolina before leaving for Oklahoma State. Judging by the timeline (and our general lack of NBA talent), he didn't really get going with all this until after he left, but it does appear he tried bribing one of our players on his way out the door (likely PJ Dozier). There's no evidence that it worked, as far I've seen, but guess we'll just have to wait for more information to come out. I'm not super worried, but I'm also not happy we're gonna have to deal with this on some level.

Anyway, it's pretty wild that Pitino will get shitcanned for compensating players financially and not hiring sex workers for recruits to play with.

Comedy option, not that it's not all comedy, but it comes out that Pitino is playing the long con, that he's still loyal to UK and has been working to take down Louisville all along.

It's not like Jurich was going to get to stay if he fired Pitino, might as well tell 'em to go gently caress themselves.

I'm listening to a pro-Kentucky Wildcat radio station and they just predicted Pitino would end up at Tennessee.

Yeah after he got a pass for hiring prostitutes for HS kids I assumed he was safe for as long as he wanted to coach. I guess the FBI getting involved is a bit more serious.

Potentially. Everything's up in the air right now. Everyone's scrambling, schools and the NCAA, especially the latter.

Apparently the placement on leave is because the athletics association has to vote on it. I guess there just wasn't enough time between yesterday and this morning to hold a conference call or something!
