The ongoing FBI investigation into alleged cheating in college basketball has already claimed one national power and could end up nailing several programs when it’s all said and done. After the NCAA dropped the hammer on Louisville following its role into serious allegations, which forced the school to finally cut ties with Rick Pitino after a long list of scandalous behavior — the school also decided to move on from AD Tom Jurich, the Cardinal could have some company on the sidelines when it comes to postseason action.
According to a report from Mark Schlabach of ESPN, sources indicate as many as three dozen programs could soon be dragged into the FBI’s investigation. According to the report, this list contains top programs, not mid-majors trying to gain an advantage:

Regardless what happens with the criminal cases, sources with knowledge of the FBI investigation told ESPN this week that the clandestine probe could result in potential NCAA violations for as many as three dozen Division I programs, based on information included in wiretap conversations from the defendants and financial records, emails and cell phone records seized from NBA agent Andy Miller. His office was raided on the same day the FBI arrested 10 men, including four assistant coaches, in late September.
“It’s not the mid-major programs who were trying to buy players to get to the top,” a source told ESPN. “It’s the teams that are already there.”

Will end up being an afterthought like the last “huge” basketball FBI scandal.

God, I hope the Cajuns aren't cheating. We need to be doing much better if we are.

I’ll be pissed if we’ve been paying crappy players.

Don't care at this point. It's time to stop treating college football and basketball as club sports instead of the billion dollar industry it is.

If universities paying students is now in the public domain can we finally allow EA to play athletes?

Are these going to be only schools who were sponsored by adidas? Or is it not just that?

I'm sure you'll find that joke funny when we're the only Louisiana team in the NCAA Tournament.

The FBI is investigating college basketball for cheating and scandalous behavior...none of this makes any sense

Yeah, while it may be fun to read about the depths of the cheating, it's as stupid as Congress investigating roids in baseball. I guess they're doing it under the guise of enforcing tax laws?

fraud involving institutions who receive federal funding (namely the scholarships the players get)

That's an educated guess and, based off my assessment of this thing, it likely is: bribery, money laundering and wire fraud you know typical college sports recruiting hijinks that the feds need to make mountains out of when there are more pressing matters to attend to, tax dollars at work baby!

I'm hoping Kentucky is one of them. UK has to be one of them. How in the hell do they recruit so well without cheating? I figure Kansas is also one of them.
