Hmm . . . interesting. Wonder where the money came from that he used to bribe the players and their families? My suspicion is that it will ultimately be traced back to team boosters or to some nefarious activity of the university itself. I agree that this is going to be the biggest scandal in the history of college basketball. As I said in another post, the Rice Commission didn't go nearly far enough. I think this will have a lasting impact on all college sports. Stay tuned . . .

$ (or anything of strategic value) always wins - since the beginning of history. A virtual "hiccup" to the NCAA, P5's, or Big Time media.

There is a daisy chain at work. Schools want players. Players see what the coaches and schools are making. They have their hand out. Shoe companies want in on the action. It's the perfect storm.

I would not be so smug about it. The FBI ain't playing tiddlywinks here.
