Interesting Day Ahead...

Is that bad?

I'm not against, but don't think using fed money for that was wise

Agent was using investigation money to gamble, food and drinks.

Bold statement. Many appointed heads of the current administration do not agree with you - treasury, EPA, etc.

Based off how the story goes when Big Daddy tells us in a year, would we even take him??

My suspicion is no. If Kansas ended up on the FBI radar and Grimes decommited, I suspect he would head to Texas.

I have heard that KU believes strongly they are clean in the fed investigation. I'll come clean though in that my source was the KU coaching staff, fwiw.

First class, hey?

I've no idea. It's entirely possible programs could have no idea the benefits in recruiting they received. But I do think if Grimes doesn't go to Kansas, he won't end up at Marquette.

But none of the programs implicated in the FBI probe—including Arizona, Louisville, USC, Oklahoma State, Auburn and Miami—have yet been punished by the NCAA as the FBI continues its investigation and while legal proceedings play out.

They should all just bow out of the NCAA tournament this year as self punishment.  That'd be neat.

Yahoo certainly isn't backing down from the basketball Armageddon angle.

There was a motion to dismiss one of the cases this morning. It was denied.

Maybe we're a lock for the tournament after all

As many as 50 schools affected including half of the top 16.

Yeah. Doubt it has any impact on this year but if it did it sounds like the field would be drastically different.

[wadesworld]

Very little doubt: Duke, Kansas, UNC, Arizona, Auburn (and throw Kentucky in there even though they're not in the top 16)

Would guess they were: Cinci, Oklahoma

Wouldn't be surprised: Xavier, Michigan State, Tennessee, Texas Tech, Clemson

Doubt it: Virginia, Ohio State, Nova, Purdue

Or, ranked most to least likely in my opinion:

1) Auburn
2) Arizona
3) Kansas
(Kentucky)
4) Duke
5) UNC
6) Cinci
7) Oklahoma
8) Clemson
9) Texas Tech
10) Tennessee
11) Xavier
12) Michigan State
13) Ohio State
14) Nova
15) UVA
16) Purdue

“When this all comes out, Hall of Fame coaches should be scared, lottery picks won’t be eligible to play and almost half of the 16 teams the NCAA showed on its initial NCAA tournament show this weekend should worry about their appearance being vacated.”

That sounds like it’s coming this year.

[nyg]

Hope they put out report all at once and don't piece meal the thing. 

Hall of Fame Coaches?  Off top of head:

Mike K.
John Calipari
Roy Williams
Tom Izzo
Jim Boeheim
Rick Pitino

Who am I missing in last few years? 

[4everwarriors]

Stew Morrill, aina?

Appearance being "vacated" implies that it will come out in the future and the past appearance won't show in the records. That's how I interpreted it, anyways.

[DegenerateDish]

Feels like whatever info gets leaked will come out the Wednesday before the tournament starts.

[The Lens]

Interesting with people speculating about Duke yet we’re doing things the right way now that Buzz is gone.

[Hards Alumni]

Personally, I think there's a chance we are implicated.

Current or former?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Personally, I think there's a chance we are implicated.

My understanding is that the investigation collected information after Buzz left. I would be very surprised if there was anything from Wojo that they would be interested in. However, every fanbase probably thinks that about their coach, even the ones who have already been implicated.
