Apparently centering around brand(s) working with assistants to pressure and bribe athletes into wearing certain brands. Adidas seems to be at the center of it.
Emanuel Richardson of Arizona
Tony Bland of USC
Tony Bland of USC
hopefully no current or former A&M assistants are puckering their buttholes over this.
Looks like schools representing all 3 major brands are being implicated, plus someone who works at Adidas.

Brutal evidence against Person. Worked with a cooperating witness to accept $50k as a bribe to steer players towards who the witness was representing.

Staff, blink once if you have information indicating our coaches committed a federal crime
What does being an Adidas school have to do with anything? All three shoe companies have been implicated.boboguitar said:

This may be the beginning of the end of college basketball as we know it. Can see the nba step in with an expanded d league in the near future to set up a system like mlb. They have been resistant but if money dries up for the college kids, someone has to step up.
University-7 is almost certainly Univ. of Miami.

When they pull back the curtain like this, more and more I'm wondering if NBA Player Development Academies as Mark Cuban has been pushing is eventually just the way things should go. Where NBA teams are managing the development of and own the rights of elite basketball youths.
Yes, that would hurt college basketball because the overall talent level we would be watching in college wouldn't be as high. College hoops would be more like baseball where top-tier players generally not bother with college but just go straight to the NBA. But maybe that would be for the best.
As you mentioned, the block right now to going in this direction is not all 30 NBA teams appear to be willing to pay for operating their NBA Development League/Academy. But that might certainly be where the situation eventually ends up at.

"We got lucky on this one," Pitino told Terry Meiners of News Radio 840. "I had an AAU director call me and ask me if I'd be interested in a player (Bowen). I saw him against another great player from Indiana. I said 'Yeah, I'd be really interested.' They had to come in unofficially, pay for their hotel, pay for their meals. We spent zero dollars recruiting a five-star athlete who I loved when I say him play. In my 40 years of coaching this is the luckiest I've been."Pumpkinhead said:
But according to Pitino, he knows nothing about any of this.

'We spent zero dollars' recruiting Bowen was merely Pitino's way of saying that a booster paid the 100K.WildcatAg said:"We got lucky on this one," Pitino told Terry Meiners of News Radio 840.

Just the amount of money
How much is a good player worth to an assistant coach?!?!? If you are winning your salary goes higher...what's easier////getting a really good player or coaching your decent players up.

Defers the benefit that agents and companies can get from paying the players and somewhat disincentivizes it.. Also increases my entertainment.mdanyc03 said:What does that solve?EKG1996 said:

We no longer have to guess answers to such questions. 50K if you are Auburn assistant Chuck Person. 100K if a 5-star will go to Louisville.Ryno01 said:

Where are you finding the descriptions of the schools?
The linked files above have them.
Thanks. Was hoping there was a single place that had them listed so I didn't have to wade through all that.
Basically like professional soccer.Pumpkinhead said:Quote:

University-1 complaint against Chuck Person = Auburn. Chuck Person is alleged to have taken bribes from agents to steer Auburn players to the agent's firm.
And all of you idiots wanted Bruce Pearl. mhayden hopes no one searches his posting history and sees that he wasn't against hiring Bruce Pearl
University-6 = Lousiville, and University 7=Miami.
From the complaint against Jim Gatto, adidas exec. Adidas paying for players to go to those schools, presumably as part of continuing sponsor apparel relationship to continue from AAU-College-Preofessional levels with those players.

University-2 = South Carolina
University-3 = Oklahoma State
University-4 = Arizona
University-5 = Southern Cal
From the complaint against Lamont Evans, Emanuel Richardson, Anthony Bland, Christian Dawkins, and Munish Sood for similar shenanigans regarding influencing players in return for money, and paying players.
