They are not the only ones. Some folks in the know are saying this is the tip of the iceberg

No but they are already in the soup with the NCAA.  They will be lucky to survive.

One of those schools who had an assistant arrested has been the highest "paying" CBB program for years.  When a McD AA signs with them and people are scratching their heads, there was a very simple reason for it.

This is a game changer.   Things could get ugly for the NCAA in all sports.

Yes indeed.  The real game changer here is the Feds are involved.  You can bet they will trying to get some folks to "sing."   For instance, without singling anyone out, Person gets arrested due to violations at Auburn.  Auburn.  Ordinarily, I would guess that most conference mates don't want to rat on each other.  But when you involve the prospects of jail time, all bets are off.  And I promise you they are all well aware of what each other is doing.

Hope Underwood is not involved in any way when at OSU.

How has WKU survived this ordeal?  Lol

That’s what Adidas gets for passing up Jordan as the #2 shoe brand.  Nike’s got deep pockets.

That program's misgivings existed long before Underwood was on the radar.   On the other hand, I doubt he came in with the clout to make any major changes.

What's really damaging is that the Feds did all this investigating without the NCAA's knowledge. They kept those guys out of the loop.

Heads will roll.

Yep.  And with deliberation.  Multi-billion dollar empire could be on the verge of collapse.  Which I would love to see.

Pitino tells his staff he will be gone.  Louisville might get the SMU treatment

This is just the start. I see other universities crumbling.

I also see some major changes coming down the pipe in regards to NCAA, shoe companies, agents and AAU.

The AD refused to fire Pitino, so they fired him as well.

Louisville AD's daughter was an Adidas employee also...NCAA Brand Communication Manager

Jurich was widely considered one of the top AD’s in the country up until yesterday. He should have taken the Texas AD job when he had the chance. 

[PhatMack19]

Interesting news on Petrino’s buyout being tied to Jurich.  Louisville may need a new football coach also.

I think it was one of those offers that got rescinded after he turned them down. Kinda like Charlie being your 1st choice.

Kid got paid $100k to sign with Louisville
