Don't get me wrong, I am glad that cheaters are getting busted with this whole funneling money through AAU programs in a pay for play scheme. Maybe with the FBI involved and possible criminal crarges, it will force the NCAA to grow some balls and deservedly slam some of these programs.
Having said that, do you really want the FBI, who is "the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States" spending their resources chasing down recruiting cheaters? Does this crime really compare to issues of homeland security, securities fraud and a host of other issues that the FBI is responsible for? Everything else on the FBI's plate is hunky-dory, so they can go after old guys giving their money to kids to go to school XYZ and play ball there? Only in America.
Edit: I posed this question to my Buddy today and he responded "If it gets rid of that slimy weasel Pitino, then yes, I want the FBI, CIA and Homeland Security to make it their top priority".
