Several assistant coaches arrested in corruption scheme

[gordontrue]

They said UofA asst coach Richardson accepted thousands of dollars in bribes from undercover FBI agents this year.

That makes me feel a LITTLE better that he was accepting money, not paying out money (like to recruits).

But, what were the bribes for? What he was doing in exchange for the money?

 

[The Q]

UConn won a title while all this was going on.

Despite having like no money.

Winning.

 

[The Q]

Not one part of this is news IMO.

We all should've known this was going on.

Even the dirty shoe company BS.

Even the leading players to a certain agent.

This has been going on for decades.

Found the answer.

"Associate coaches were receiving bribes from these business professionals to gain inappropriate access to the players."

So... wannabe NBA agents are paying coaches to introduce them to players?

I used to respect the hell out of Louisville. Still do really, but come on man. You're better than that.

Except they aren't. They have been full on corrupt ever since Pitino landed there 17 years ago.

I thought Arizona was better than that.

What sucks is that for the past 5 years or so, with all the shady shit that has gone on in CBB, I've been wondering/worrying if AZ is as dirty as anyone else. I guess it's just something that every fan of a decent (and otherwise) program has to consider. I guess I had reason to worry.

Shit. Fuck. God please no.

my thoughts exactly.

So I woke up to like 10 different group texts about this blowing my shit up. As far as AZ goes, what makes me wonder the most is that AD Greg Byrne left in January, PGU went offline in Feb, and Romar was hired in April. I can't help to wonder if the FBI interviewed Book or somehow AZ got wind of this, Byrne bolted, PGU bows out, and AZ goes after Romar to replace Book eventually.

So there are 7 Universities listed, and 6 of them have been named:
Louisville
Miami
Arizona
Auburn
USC
OK State

A lot of Cuse folks think it's either them or UConn.

Auburn hasn't made it to the NCAA's since 2003..

Don't think the money was well spent.

I guess they had me fooled. I mean, I expect this kind of behavior out of Duke and North Carolina, but them...

 

[Hitman Hart]

I guess they had me fooled. I mean, I expect this kind of behavior our of Duke and North Carolina, but them...

Pretty sure Louisville was just punished for hiring strippers to persuade recruits to sign with them.

UNC has the academic fraud thing, sure, but not sure what your problem with Duke is.

Pearl should be gone though, as should Pitino.

You are naive as fuck.

Any clown that thinks Louisville is clean is the same person that thinks landing on the moon never took place./

Louisville is supremely fucked. I would typically never call for it, but they deserve the death penalty.

A prostitute that has had sexual relations with Craig James has a better chance at survival than Louisville Basketball does right now, one would think.

I forgot about that.

Weren't Duke got in trouble with academics too or am I mistaken?

Seasons should be cancelled.
