FBI and US Justice Dept. charge several college basketball coaches with corruption

In the paper today it said Dan Gavitt of the NCAA was going to go to the coaches and AD's of the schools and get their feedback. Really!!!!!!! Why don't we ask the New York Police Dept to go to the Mafia and ask if it is ok to investigate them. The NCAA needs to also be investigated and all personnel replaced with an independent group pf people
 
While head coach at Louisville, Rick Pitino apparently....
had known professional AGENT Christian Dawkins was at his practices multiple times....
The school has evidence and wants Pitino to admit it, but Pitino won't...
https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...-dawkins-lawsuit-fbi-investigation/611226002/


"As someone known to have acted as an 'agent' for athletes (Dawkins), the basketball staff should have notified Athletics Compliance,"
(that he was on campus, at practice and having contact with the student-athletes) -- "No notification was provided."
...(Pitino's lawyer) Steve Pence says Pitino did not know Dawkins was working as an agent. ( :roll: )

Federal investigators said Dawkins and others, including Adidas executive James Gatto, former Adidas consultant Merl Code, financial advisor Munish Sood
and former AAU program director Jonathan Brad Augustine, worked together in attempts to funnel money to the families of two Louisville recruits
to ensure the athletes would sign with the school and later as pros hire certain advisers and sign endorsement deals with Adidas."

The other shoe has dropped at Louisville- The school's Board of Trustees voted 10-3 to fire their Athletic Director Tom Jurich Wednesday afternoon....

disgraced & fired Louisville AD Tom Jurich probably won't be forced to eat ramen noodles to get by....
Louisville just settled with Jurich for $4.5 million for him to go away and stay silent ...

Of course he goes off claiming he's totally innocent & did noting wrong...but he was at the helm of arguably the worst athletic department series of scandals & disasters in all of history - surely it's fair to heap a little of the responsibility & blame on him.

and the next chapter in this saga....
Louisville finally decides they will not allow Brian Bowen to play at Louisville
...somebody wasted a lot of money getting him there...

Brian Bowen was the 5-star recruit at the center of the FBI investigation into players getting paid to attend certain schools. He was initially committed to Louisville, but after the FBI found evidence he was paid $100,000 to go to Louisville, Rick Pitino was fired, and Bowen pulled out and eventually decided to go to South Carolina.

Well, Bowen and South Caroline got some bad news today. The NCAA, which has reluctantly been forced to do their own investigation, ruled today that Bowen will be penalized and will not be eligible to play this coming season. With that news, Bowen has withdrawn from South Carolina, and plans to enter the 2018 NBA draft.

Uh oh - bad news for UConn.......

The Hartford (CT) Courant (newspaper) just published some of the pages of the testimony that the FBI got when interviewing one of the UConn assistant coaches (Glen Miller) - the Courant got the pages via FOIA from UConn. The FBI had kept the pages secret but they had forwarded them to UConn to let them know what they were investigating and then UConn released the pages under a Freedom of Information legal request by the Courant.

Miller tells the FBI that then UConn head coach Kevin Ollie gave $30,000 to the mother of a recruit so that she would be able to move to Connecticut to watch her kid play.

https://twitter.com/DaveBorges/stat...o/iframe/twitter.min.html#1009668600691675138

The papers also show that the assistant told the FBI that Kevin Ollie was relying on his own personal agent to funnel players to him - and that he even fired his agent for NOT REFERRING ENOUGH RECRUITS HIS WAY!!
https://twitter.com/DaveBorges/status/1009678294319554565

The professional agent said "the main reason he got let go (as personal agent for UConn's head coach Kevin Ollie) was for not assisting and helping players get to UConn."

Immediately- UConn runs for cover and produces this laughable denial in which it says the worst thing Kevin Ollie ever did was to unknowingly allow a couple of his players to attend unsanctioned workouts....
the official UConn response totally ignores this more damaging stuff about paying players and paying his agent to refer recruits.

By the school trying to cover up the problem it shows they are culpable. DEATH PENALTY!!!! It needs to stop somewhere
 
tip of the iceberg - anyone who thinks UConn is the only school doing this
or that Kevin Ollie is the only coach doing this - is very naive

I agree! It is like a epidemic and the NCAA has looked the other way. Allowing it to happen while boasting they are enforcing the rules
 
The list of schools known to be subpoenaed and involved in this FBI-Adidas pay for play scandal now include Arizona, Auburn, Kansas, Louisville, Maryland, Miami, North Carolina State, Oklahoma State and USC.

You forgot to add one other institution...the NCAA... for failure to enforce its own rules and looking the other way

another cheating scandal emerging....

Florida players reportedly took impermissible benefits from a well known GAMBLING kingpin and his henchmen...(rental cars, drinks, parties, possibly payoffs)
but the story is much more complex and involves feuds between the players and the gamblers, fights, guns, and possibly gang-related hit squads...
