Think this is going to get UGLY.

Louisville looks to be sinking

Nc state is Adidas and has staff linked to Slick Rick.

Alabama is being rumored to get looked into next. 

 

Also apparently FBI is going to Nike now and rumored to under armour  next.

Duke should be sweating.  You never saw K recruit or get any high top 5 guys.  High school all Americans but just not the 1 and done guys.  Until Capel came in, after Capel just left Oklahoma in a mess with the NCAA.

And you'd have to think they are going to look at Kentucky.  They have all but held up a sign saying they are corrupt.  

 

Again this could get UGLY and not sure how the NCAA will even fair in all of this with being looked at no supervision over any of this

I disagree with you on the Kentucky thing. If you think about it, Calipari probably has the most transparent program out there. He willingly and freely admits he's ok with one and done, he's just trying to win championships, and hides nothing about it. Now, a lot of purists have a problem with that, and I think a lot of people allow their personal feelings to cloud their vision and they see corruption when, in reality, Calipari is using the system as it's set up and taking advantage of its flaws. 

And if anyone believes this is just an Adidas issue, they're sadly mistaken. Won't be long until Under Armour, Nike and everyone else is dragged into this mess.

this has been going on for decades. People paying handlers to steer the kid to a certain program. Just like schools having easy classes to help keep athletes in academic good standing. I find the public outrage hilarious. People are getting a glimpse on how the sausage is made and big surprise they don't like it!

this is centered around Addidas.  I believe UK is Nike.  I suspect there are similar investigations going on around Nike, UA, etc.

I thought I saw they sent out subpoenas for Nike as well.  This is going to bring down a lot of people and programs.  Hopefully this speeds up the end of this faux amateurism.

The youth basketball developmental program at Nike was raided by the feds. No idea what could come of that.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
