Considering he'd already played the "I had no idea what was happening" card he probably shoulda gone with a different approach. But hey he was gonna get fired regardless. I guess just burn it all down with 'lack of institutional control' charges on your way out?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why does the FBI care if coaches are violating NCAA rules?

I'm sure someone else can lay out all the details, but it boils down to Adidas bribing college kids to sign with their agents/teams and assistant coaches being bribed to get kids to sign with sporting agents.

One of the charges is listed as "Solicitation of bribes and gratuities by an agent of a federally-funded organization ", so id imagine that would incorporate alot of people in college athletics.

Add Bama to the list, apparently: their associate AD resigned and they're conducting an internal review of the basketball program.

So glad NC State cleared house this year now we can just forget how borderline shady Gottfried was and move on with our carefree lives. (Dennis Smith Jr probably was legit since he's a lifelong State fan but goddamn if I'm not sweating it anyway. Also it would be such an NC State poo poo move to cheat and still suck.)

Also, the Adidas guy was basically committing money laundering and lying on official reports about allocation of funds, which starts getting into SEC territory (the ones with the lawyers, not the conference) I wonder if SDSU is gonna get wrapped up in this, thats where USC hired Tony Bland from and he was already considered one of the best recruiters on the West Coast

Either every program in the country is hosed, or a bunch of nobodies are hosed and the blue bloods get away with it since they're better at cheating in this fashion imo.

I sure am glad Syracuse received 4 years probation and vacated 100 victories because a player made $500 at a YMCA over the summer. All while this poo poo was going on all over the country. Bahahah. I'm sure new punishments NCAA will hand down from now on will be comparable.

Well it's always been this "if everyone's cheating ain't no one cheating" mentality that's been more or less encouraged by the NCAA, who doesn't benefit from having their major money-making programs missing the Tournament and being branded as cheaters and losing their reputations and money-making potential. The FBI doesn't give a poo poo about whatever unwritten rules the NCAA has and if they start arresting coaches and admins left and right the NCAA's going to look dumber than they already do on a regular basis. If your rooting interest is in the death of the NCAA and some other system being established, root for the FBI to start flipping dudes and hauling everyone under the sun in. Because if the NCAA's whole system is exposed as rotten to the core then school presidents are either going to have to dump athletics or create a new governing body, and only one of those options keeps the cash flow going. e - christ those two paragraphs are written poorly but it's late and i'm tired so suck it

Pitino wasn’t charged or identified in the criminal filings, but he appears in the complaint as “Coach-2,” people familiar with the matter said.
