The Official "FBI Investigation" Thread

[Speedy]

With UNC's adademic issues, I sincerely hope Roy Williams is out of the fed's investigation.

Not just because it's Louisville but I don't pay attention to the "experts" and their thoughts on matters such as this.

UofL is going to be punished and it's more than likely going to extend to postseason ban(s), but to what extent remains to be seen.

This is crazy whats going on, i'm sure many knew money was being passed around here and there but to this level wow. I really want to see how many others were caught up in this. Vitale sounded hurt and also brought up players reclassifying.

To go off of what I said there, I expect Louisville to fire Pitino and Jurich if for nothing else to save themselves as repeat offenders. I expect there to be many more people implicated as they've only gotten Adidas schools so far and I can't see why the FBI investigation would stop at what it has. I know some people are very concerned about the sport but I think this has the chance to ultimately be good for the long term picture of the sport. It may result in much needed changes in the rules governing the sport to something that the NCAA could enforce better. People are concerned about the coaches but there will always be players looking to play the sport. So this won't lead to the end of what ultimately drives the sport... the players.

(Off topic) - the more the game of basketball runs it's coarse the more LaVar looks like a genius. He has Just done and have said the most chaotic things, but basketball has lined up perfectly for what he has done and said... One of those things is The youngest son having a shoe and playing college basketball.. I see a serious rule change regarding both the NCAA and NBA. Maybe NBA goes back to 18 Yo a, and maybe the NCAA lets up on student athletes earning commercial pay...

All in all, I've seen this coming. Maybe not as big as this, but I always believed in the speculation that student athletes were receiving money from somewhere. The NCAA has some serious reforming to do. They patronized a young athlete for making YouTube videos, but yet Louisville is offering up 100k to recruits, Memphis has cheated on tests for their players and UNLV signed a recruit that never even took an S.A.T.. scandal written all over their company..

Surprised no one has posted this yet in here, but as expected Louisville is moving forward to fire Pitino with cause, thus trying to avoid being on the hook for $44M in remaining Pitino money.

Pitino filed a breach of contract against UofL

This thing is going to drag out

They should fire Pitino for being stupid and arrogant.
