It was obvious from the start that there was no case against Miami but I guess some people wanted a reason for doom and gloom. Anytime the SDNY USAO is behind something like this, you can bet it is a publicity stunt because the US Attorney is going to try to launch his or her political career...

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/college-hoops-corruption-case-hits-snag-due-fbi-conflict-232134624.html Told you all that the case was going nowhere. Was a publicity stunt by SDNY US Attorney who is setting up a run for public office.

No way the feds take attempted bribery or conspiracy to commit shoe fraud to federal court. Zero chance. The ones who might get smoked are the ones who actually accepted money to influence players. Miami is nowhere near that. Want more proof that Miami isn't worried? The second the report...

If you haven't read it, SI gives a good breakdown of the allegations and the possible defenses. https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2017/09/26/fbi-corruption-college-basketball-fraud-louisville-bribe Personally, I think the government won't be able to get convictions. And I feel very...

The "one and done" scam was largely responsible. Players who have zero interest in going to college are forced to choose a school (it's still better viz for getting drafted over playing in Europe or China). The players know they won't be at the school long, so they choose the school purely on...

My worry level on a scale of 1-10 is a 3. At least from what has been made public, I don't see anything sticking to the school itself. At worst, the assistant allegedly involved gets canned (but school has to be careful, if there really is nothing, he can sue for wrongful termination). I...
