I wonder if there are others that will be announced soon. Just relieved not to hear our name.

It'd be pretty bad if we were bribing kids and still not getting anyone....

Alkins, Heron, Bowen --- lot of guys we were involved with at points that went to one of these schools.  On the one hand, this could show we arent dirty.  On the other it could show we were trying to be dirty but got outbid....

This particular FBI probe, apparently ongoing for a few years, seems to involve Adidas schools and a high level Adidas exec.  Louisville finally going down?

(Recruiting is hard enough, but with the kind of money spoken of in this investigation, it's easy to see how hard it is to get local kids to commit to staying home.)

It is focused on Adidas, but isn't Auburn an Under Armour school?

Sonny Vaccaro on CNBC right now saying he's shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. Hilarious.

Schadenfreude! (not another German forward)

This is why Eddie Fogler, IMO, never came back to coach college basketball.  He hated dealing with the AAU guys and the cheating that was going on throughout the industry. 

Frankly, this entire situation starts with AAU.

Pat Forde for years has been considered a Pitino apologist:

Eddie is good dude spoke to him years back when he was running PSU's coaching search. Also my cousin grew up friends with Tony Bland playing AAU and then at SDSU.

You take bribes, you go to prison.  That includes parents and players. I hope that's the mantra of  Feds in this case. 

Pitino expects to be fired today...
