Names named in cheating scandal.

Holy cow. That’s a huge list. Glad we are not in it. So if this all holds up, will all those schools have to do what Louisville just did and give up wins, stats, titles, etc?

Also, we can’t use Baldwin’s case as a way to fire Stallings, can we? :rolleyes:
 
Agents paying players doesn’t really indict the universities or coaches . How do kids from poor families have cars on campus or even afford all the tattoos they have ... money is coming from somewhere . The whole system is corrupt and you can start at the top with the schools making billions off selling their tv rights . Money corrupts everything and there’s way too much money involved in college athletics to expect anything less .

Hell, it was corrupt even before the money got big, the money just pushes it to another level.

I'm disappointed in that there is nothing really here that's going to implicate any university wrongdoing. Take Wade Baldwin for example. He was a marginal recruit that surely nobody paid to come to Vanderbilt. He ended up being good so Andy Miller sent his runner, Christian Dawkins to recruit him. Its likely that in a lot of these cases, the programs and coaches never even knew of anything these players got or that they even talked to Dawkins. Even if an assistant coach arranged the meeting, its possible that the assistant coach didn't know the player was going to get paid right then and there.

I hope there is more to this. If not, this is just a case against a rogue agent and runner. Where AZ, USC, and Auburn come into play is that they seemed to have been involved in the actual recruitment of players. I think this release actually helps Sean Miller a little but obviously there may be more to it.

When Marcus Camby took money from an agent, everyone was quick to point to Calipari. Why should these schools get off any lighter?

The word is that there will be many HOF coaches and future HOF coaches and many top P5 programs implicated and convicted in this investigation. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and many will be going down within the next weeks, months. It sounds like some very familiar names are very closely involved.

After this is over, and who knows when that will be, college basketball will be a changed sport. Hopefully for the better. Get the sleaze factor reduced to some extent.
