A total of 10 people face fraud and corruption charges, including Oklahoma State University assistant coach Lamont Evans and Auburn University assistant coach Chuck Person. James Gatto, Adidas Basketball’s head of global marketing, was also targeted in the probe, as well as financial advisors and managers.

Surprised it took so long...I won't believe it until I see a few teams get the death penalty.

They haven't given a D1 school the Death Penalty since SMU in '87. What makes you think they'll do it now for the first time in 30 years?

Louisville potentially involved. Since thy are on probation now, I'm expecting the death penalty.

As a huge Arizona Basketball fan, allow me to voice my opinion on all of this:

I don't know. Seems telling to me that only assistant coaches were charged and no head coaches. I'd be surprised if we see the death penalty.

With how many people seem to be implicated, I foresee at least a couple ratting others out as soon as the deals are offered. I agree on no death penalty though. If Penn State was able to avoid it then this probably won't warrant it.

Seeing how with Penn State it involved criminal activity from a former coach and nothing involved with the recruitment process or the team, you can't compare the two. That is why with the lawsuit vs the NCAA they decided to restore the wins and cut short the punishments.

All I know is fans from every top 25 program should likely keep shut for the next few weeks, their program(s) may be next to come out. This is likely the tip of the iceberg. NCAA is going to have a real mess on their hands, especially if a good share of top programs end up being involved in these types of things (which lets be honest, top programs are top programs because of shady shit like this). This is essentially a widely-known "open secret" within NCAA, but with a body finally with subpoena power, everything will nowbe on record and official.

Grab your popcorn folks, this is going to be fun (and somewhat miserable for people like me, but I'll enjoy the ride I guess). The FBI keeping the NCAA is the dark is also pretty interesting.

Have a feeling Cincinnati will be safe in this one.

100% agree.

On the one hand I'm sad/terrified because my team is implicated, on the other hand, it's going to be one hell of a ride watching these teams get named and the NCAA scrambling to do damage control.

And you're right, this is par for the course, it's the worst kept secret amongst recruiting circles in both basketball and football. Louisville paid $100k for a top 20 recruit, imagine what UCLA paid for Shabazz Muhammed or Lonzo Ball? Last minute gets of top 5 recruits to Kansas? Marvin Bagley to Duke out of nowhere? Gee, I wonder...

An old friend of mine is a die hard Oklahoma State fan. Words cannot express the shadenfreude I am feeling.

Looks like the FBI are starting to raid NBA Agent agencies now. This shit is getting real...

Bill Reiter has a new sports talk show on CBS radio. Said a little while ago that if half of what his connections have told him today is true, college basketball as we know it will be brought to its knees. We shall see.

Hope so. It's been a long time coming.
