How embarrassed should FBI be if any of The Scheme is accurate?

Very to extremely from my perspective
What a huge waste of resources on a dirty sport with no results.
If coaches are directing Addidas to pay players how did you not get that?
Will Wade just had some great quotes about him having big balls
That's my coach

They got three convictions in connection with this case. The FBI doesn’t care about the NCAA’s amateurism bylaws, that’s not their concern and was not within their scope.

Incredibly. They tried to strongarm a young guy into going along with their scheme and he pushed back, and then he ran a background check on them because of how shady that person was being.

The FBI's interests were never aligned with those of the NCAA.

You are okay with the money they stole?
They basically creates the con then charges people that went along with them

The FBI is just the beginning. Federal prosecutors are some of the worst human beings on the planet. They combine the zeal of the class tattle tale, the empathy of an ex-wife, the ego of the social climber and the power of The State-and they combine all that to ruin otherwise perfectly decent people for sport. Very frequently, people with no criminal intent. I'm glad people are starting to wake up to this.

It says a lot about our society that people will get up in arms about a guy taking a bribe to steer a recruit or an actress shelling out some cash to get her kid into a certain school, but don't seem to care about the things you've mentioned.
There are real problems in the world that our tax dollars could be being used to fight. Reminds me of steroids in baseball.

Basically they might have done something illegal on their own but what I saw for Dawkin kids seems like entrapment
Here is $50k I know you don't want to but please use it to bribe coaches

Well, we know how good the FBI was in the Trump investigation.

The three convictions they got were nothing considering the goal was to get college basketball coaches on bribery charges.
Nevermind the fact it all started because a guy that was caught running a ponzi scheme and stole money from people to fund a movie is the reason the whole investigation started.

The FBI is still run with a J. Edgar Hoover mentality—just sad

Didn't Dawkins have the longest sentence at 12 months? One of the guys just got probation. Seems like a giant waste and they tried to steer the case towards the coaches and fricked that up.

That's like thinking you put a dent in the drug game because you got 12 months for 3 corner boys.

Remember this:

And from that bold statement they got a few small minnows.

People forget - this was not an FBI investigation of WW or NCAA basketball. It was of embezzling criminals who got convicted. The rest are just byproducts that the media ran hysterically with.

Yea this is pathetic how much money they spent to put a guy in jail that would be classified as a street level dealer in the crime world. Dude paid his attorney to fight them with our taxpayer money. And then the lead investigator went gamble a bunch of it away with the #1 rat.
They spent all that money in Vegas paying coaches, hotel suites etc and the money to rent a yacht to catch a wannabe black Jerry Maguire. What a fuking joke. Dept heads at the FBI need to roll after this documentary.

Hard to believe this convicts account of what took place. I mean the guy actually said since he wasn’t convicted on every single change it proves he was innocent. Dawkins is a clown and a proven liar so take how this thing is being framed with a metric ton of salt.

Didn't y'all watch the FBI's take down of the McDonald's Monopoly scheme on HBO? That was taxpayer money spent at its best.

HBO is making the FBI look like a complete joke of late.

Or the head investigated stealing money? That looks bad considering it’s tax payer money.

Which was, frankly, pitiful. They spent a whole lot of taxpayer money to bring charges against people that nobody cares about doing things that, again, most people don't really care about, and it only netted a few relatively small sentences. They would have been better served to just let that scumbag Blazer serve 67 yrs or what ever it was that he was facing.

And that is where you are (mostly) wrong. The FBI absolutely cared about corruption in college ball, so to get around the fact that NCAA rules violations are not within their scope, they tried to steer it into something that they COULD prosecute (fraud). The only thing that they accomplished, aside from looking like clowns and wasting a lot of resources, is coming off as being just as shady as the very people they were trying to indict.
