Interesting Day Ahead...

This isn't the entire investigation, so it's likely other schools are still to be named.

[Galway Eagle]

At this point I'd start making a recruit and his family sign a document stating they won't accept any money from outside sources and that if they do they understand the school will go after them in court.

Yeah, cause recruits will totally fall in love with a school that does that.

[mu03eng]

A model can exist if smart people put their minds together.

Given it's the NCAA, this statement seems non-applicable 

[Dr. Blackheart]

Do we now know why DJ Newbill skipped town?

Squirmy...

[Galway Eagle]

If everybody does it then it's just another clause a school uses to protect themselves.

[muguru]

The schools and coaches can say they had no knowledge, and while that may be true..how do they prove that? That seems to be the issue..all they have is their word.

I'm shocked to see Isaiah Whitehead took money

Kinda makes you wonder about the rest of that class, since they were an apparent package deal of sorts

[T-Bone]

I thoughts Whitehead's deal was he got to bring some of his less talented buddies.

Also, I wonder what PhillyCoach's relationship to all this crap with Newbill was. 

At least Scoop has yet to be named in the probe.  Moderators should start seeking legal counsel, not from Scoop.  One call.

Probably can get us all some T-shirts, eh?

One call.

Speaking of which, how has he not gotten the naming right to the new arena yet?

Arby's is making a strong push

[manny31]

Off on a tangent here.... Any of the schools mentioned have stud point guard? Either a grad transfer or an incoming Frosh recruit that we could get? How about both, we should pay top dollar for a package deal.....

Does the name Quentin Grimes ring a bell?

Worth noting that Texas is also mentioned as a school that's implicated. Could be a bit of a statement to the Scoop crowd both about the ultimate destination of Grimes and if Shaka would've been worth it.

All that said, Grimes would be intriguing if he decommitted. I don't think he'd be a lock to Marquette even if Kansas, Kentucky, and Texas were all out as options.

[Jockey]

Glad to see we weren't mentioned.

But color me shocked if anything meaningful will actually happen to any of these teams.

Kansas on the list. Come on down, Mr. Grimes!

The NCAA will come down very, very hard. Lots of big, mean words will be used. Teeth will be gnashed during the Tournament.

Then, not much will be done. Lying and cheating will continue to be virtues in college sports.

Um..... how about we go after the schools, instead of going after the people with nothing.

NC A&T is going to get the punished to the nth degree for what the big names did.

Bucky is hanging its championship banner today

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Even if the NCAA won't do anything to punish the schools at the moment, I'm assuming the least they could do is make the players on the list ineligible for the rest of the season/post season play? Players such as Wendell carter for Duke or Miles Bridges for MSU could be possibly be named ineligible and that seems like the most substantial penalties that could be levied in terms of the rest of this season, unless they just go all out and name the schools involved ineligible for the tournament? I highly doubt they would do that though cause that would probably lose the NCAA a ton of money they would make off the tournament because of low ratings, but the player ineligibility seems realistic. Most likely none of the schools, especially the big schools will get a post season ban or anything of that sort imo, the NCAA wont want to do that.

Would MU welcome him back?  In his recruiting it seemed all the dominos were falling our way and after a long courtship picks he Kansas who I don't think were PG starved.

I remember one of Big Daddy's posts mention he would comment on  it when he was cleared to do it.
I think Stan's twitter after his decission was kinda of Bitter.

[Pakuni]

Now having read this "blockbuster" report, I've got to say ... what a great, big nothingburger.
Miles Bridges' mom maybe got a few hundred dollars? Justin Patton, Wendell Carter and Collin Sexton had a meal?
Who cares?
This is a sport where even assistant coaches make mid six-figure salaries, but we're going to punish and ostracize teenagers for a free lunch?
SHEESH.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Speaking of which, how has he not gotten the naming right to the new arena yet?

It might be because the owners are looking for $10MM/year for 10 years according to a recent article.
