It speaks to the good job Collins and Fitz do in recruiting when you realize that they're running up against stuff like this quite a bit, not to mention that they also must recruit to higher academic standards than most schools.

The big news looks to be Louisville arranging for a '17 recruit to be paid $100k to sign.

I personally am shocked to read this.

It's South Carolina--not Southern Cal--this time.

Nope. USC (Southern California) assistant coach Tony Bland was charged, as well. South Carolina may be on the hook because Lamont Evans, the OK State assistant, worked as an assistant at South Carolina (with Brad Underwood) prior to being hired at OK State by Underwood in 2016.

Per NCAA bylaws, schools and head coaches are automatically on the hook for any level III violations committed by assistant coaches. However, this is a criminal investigation and the NCAA has yet to get involved.

Will be very interesting to see who is named once these assistants start snitching. Then we have the inevitable NCAA investigation on top of the FBI criminal investigation...

Yeah, it would have been much cheaper to continue to use strippers and hookers......

You can say that again (and again and again....).

Does anyone think that Underwood took the Uof I job in a pathetic attempt to run away from all the trouble that OSU is in now? I wouldn't doubt something like that took place with regards to this controversy.

While they're at it the feds should investigate SEC football programs too.

Looks like we left Adidas too soon. Their head of global sports marketing also got busted for giving players money to sign with Kentucky and Florida. If we had stuck with them, maybe he would have paid these guys to come to Evanston!

If Baylor and UNC haven't gotten it, no one will ever again.

Louisville is actually the perfect candidate for the death penalty. An investigation that will be nearly impossible to knock down (FBI), sins that are directly related to academic eligibility and amateurism as opposed to a crime outside of NCAA purview, and already being on probation. (UNC was able to beat a lot of the allegations that were aired by the media, and Penn State and Baylor both involved real crimes as opposed to NCAA crimes.) It also helps, for the purpose of the NCAA death penalty, that they kept Pitino after the prostitute scandal to drive up the "lack of institutional control" element.

Couldn't happen to a more well deserving school.

Any school that hires Bobby Petrino twice to coach its student athletes deserves the death penalty.

ESPN's general take: Everybody knows this has been going on forever, and this is all they got? Pardon the Interruption got it right though. What makes this different is that we have audio/video on this and prison sentences in the balance.

As dirty as UoL is, you know they weren't the only one involved in paying that kid. You don't open the bidding at $100,000 for Pete's sake! Will be interesting to see if the other bidders emerge.....

I think we've seen the last Men's basketball on the Louisville campus for a while.....
