I am thinking that the majority of the schools are the ones that are already linked to the scandal. Schools like Auburn, USC (both), OK State, Miami, and UConn.

If it is based on the Andy Miller agency investigations, two schools to look out for would be Syracuse and Xavier as both had a lot of guys with his agencies sign straight out of college.

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.


The praying for this to happen is hilarious.

From the sound of it there will be a large number of prominent schools named. If they don't name schools like Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Florida, Michigan State, UCLA then you'd have to think they haven't found all of the bag men.

At this point these are professional sports. In basketball even the pretense of academic progress is harder and harder to find credible.

Make it professional. Have the schools willing to pay serious salaries regulated into a different group of schools that play each other and make other levels of basketball club sports with a different championship tournament.

I suspect that depends upon what methods and what levels of cheating you mean.

There are at least some who believe Wooden's UCLA dynasty was fueled by people in the right places to compensate the players they needed for that run. If that was indeed true you'd have to wonder how many other programs and boosters they were bidding against.

My suspicion is it has always been there but has escalated significantly in recent decades as March Madness became a cash cow and the NCAA began to reap rewards in the tens of millions. Those kinds of incentive inevitably lead to competition for the goodies.

There's a lot more people then "some" who know about Sam Gilbert and UCLA. He wasn't called Papa for nothing.

I'm hearing North Carolina will be one of them, and NCAA will give Davidson and Western Carolina the Death Penalty.

Better idea--let's go back to the days when a team could draft or sign HS players.

The LeBrons and Kobes of the world are good enough to play straight out of HS, let them.

Everyone else, make the G League a true minor league for the NBA and give HS kids a shot at trying to pursue their dreams.

I know there was a lot of stuff at OSU when Matta left. He didn't straight out say anything, but he seemed to indicate that he was not solely being "outrecruited" for kids. So maybe it's really the last 3-5 years or so? because he never had problems recruiting before that.

That's the only hint i had gotten outside the FBI stuff

Will this affect Emmert? Between knowing about Michigan State and losing control over one of the two big sports, the university presidents might want to throw him under the bus to look like they cleaned up the issues.

After Oregon used the anonymous snitch line to lie about SDSU recruiting a couple years ago, I won't shed a tear if they are involved and Knight was the moneybags.

It's time to stop treating college football and basketball as club sports instead of the billion dollar industry it is.


what do you mean? pay the players like pros? screw all of the other sports that football and basketball fund.

I got it. you aren't a college graduate. you think college teams ARE professional teams. if you think the college football/basketball players are poor and get no benefits you are sadly mistaken. they do not have to go to college.

I am a college graduate, a college athlete actually, and i think it is a joke people believe football and basketball in the ncaa is a college sport with "student-athletes"
