Four college basketball assistants arrested

[Hampton Roads 6]

Four college BB assistant coaches have been arrested by FBI in a fraud investigation. Auburn, Southern Cal, Arizona, and Okalhoma State are schools involved. But the case is wide-spread to include other schools and down to AAU level. Recruits were being paid to go to certain schools and sign with certain agents. A shoe company was also involved.

Believe it or not, Louisville appears to be involved, though no Louisville coach has been arrested. Report says some recruit was paid to go to Louisville.

The FBI did this investigation, not NCAA. ( thankfully)

The ACC needs to step up, and kick Louisville out of conference.

and then again, NCAA hasn't punished UNC yet.

Being reported that a Louisville assistant is involved in helping funnel $100K to a player they are recruiting as part of this Adidas investigation.

One has to wonder what it takes to clean house there. What a dirty program.

No reason to think their corruption isn't in the football program too. Over and under on how much Lamar Jackson got to go there?

The NCAA should shut Louisville Athletic Department down. ACC should boot them out of conference.

Miami might be involved as well. 2 programs with a very long history of NCAA violations.

I heard Miami was involved. I am afraid more schools will be guilty. This stuff has been going on a long time, yet NCAA, AAU, and everyone involved denied it. Hopefully this scandal will clean up college basketball.
I am afraid the investigation will eventually cross over into football. With some decisions made by recruits, there has to be some hanky panky going on.

reports coming out of Louisville, say that Pitino and the AD have been fired.

Dirty school. I hope they get death penalty.

Poor HR....I see that Bama has been busted in this scandal.....cheating at more than just football in ole Bama.

HR6 did not realize Alabama had basketball.

Almost like realizing that UVA has football.

It sounds like it has been going on for a long time with the shoe companies and dirty agents selling the top recruits to the high bidder. It took the FBI to bring this to light. Where the hell has the NCAA been all this time? This may become a much bigger deal in the days ahead.

Maybe the NCAA gets hit with this as well. If they had knowledge this was going on and did nothing then they are guilty as well. Nothing would make me happier then to see the NCAA get slammed so that it is forced to radically change or be discontinued in favor of another governing body.

This has been going on for years, and NCAA had to know about it. Most dirty stuff in college basketball originates within AAU ranks, where there are rogue coaches, runners and agents. Also when one sees some high school player play at 3 or 4 high schools, in different parts of the country, who pays the "moving van" ? Also too much shoe money is involved. No one should give a crap what brand of shoe someone wears.

Reading the Louisville message board, Louisville fans remind me of Hillary Clinton. Blaming others for their misdeeds. Pitino, Petrino were hired by an AD with no standards, other than winning.

HR you are so right on their delusional fans. I looked at their message board and they are blaming the parents for cashing the check before the player graduated. Don't see anything wrong with paying the parents only the "idiots" shouldn't have cashed the check to early. Their Basketball team was lead by a slime ball and their fans seem fine with his actions.

Probably worst fans overall within NCAA. They think their AD is the Second Coming of Christ. when in fact he's probably the most "shady" AD in the country. This is proven by his hires.
