Good News?

Either this is just the beginning, or the FBI is starting to leak stuff out because they don’t really have a case. I have no idea which one is true.
 
Definitely good news but we have already taken a hit in recruiting this year which set us back 1-2 seasons. Coach L will have to work his magic on the transfer market again unfortunately.

If it does turn out we did nothing wrong this is truly infuriating we took this type of setback
 
So far so good but as college sports fan this is devastating. *** rape at Penn St is ok with the press but paying players? Nope they will be outraged

That isn’t the whole report but given how Yahoo loves us and has no credibility after they’re attempt with Nevingate, I would believe they would throw our name out there if they could.
 
I'd love to see Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc. get slapped, but even if they did, would it have the same effect that it had on Miami? Miami had an entire recruiting class destroyed and who knows how long it will take for us to be in the conversation for multiple top 100 recruits again.
 
Can't really say we had this year's class destroyed. Who knows if Nasser and anyone else we were recruiting would've signed with us. Maybe yes, maybe no. The bad pub, however, sure didn't help!

This news surely will shift the spotlight to the schools mentioned in these articles. And that is definitely a good thing for us! If we are "exonerated," I'm happiest for Coach L.

It is funny because we lost kids, not that we had 100% chance to get them, to those some of those schools.

Those kids should have the opportunity, should they want, to reconsider.
 
FBI has nothing better to do than chase after agents paying for dinners and plane tickets? What a load of ****. It's one thing for the NCAA to do that. That's their job (allegedly). But the FBI?

Worst case I've heard yet was involving former NC State "one and done," Dennis Smith. "Loan" from an agent for $75,000.

Worst thing about UNC and Duke are a free meal (or two) at local restaurants. Reportedly, UNC's Brice Johnson had a free $100 meal at Carraba's in Chapel Hill. If they have that chain where you live, that seems a bit strange. Hard to order a $100 meal at a place like that; maybe three meals ...
 
Yeah, it's good to see that list without seeing our name or any of our player's names. But that's also just the list with ties to one specific agency right? You have to believe there are many other agencies that do the same stuff. If one of them is getting scrutiny like this, I imagine it's only a matter of time that others get the same scrutiny. Every school in the country that has enrolled kids who think they have an NBA future is at risk of being mentioned in the next report.
