University 6 is UofL. University 7 looks to be Miami.
******* hell. We might be getting the death penalty. Pitino definitely gone, Jurich should be gone, our whole athletic department just became a train wreck.

JUST became a train wreck? The whores weren't enough for train wreck status?
While only four schools are currently involved, the complaints will provide a treasure map for NCAA investigators as it tells stories of endless payouts and kickbacks in the recruitment of numerous top prospects over the past three years. And that’s before any of the involved agree to cooperate with authorities.

Jurich and Pitino were part of the Ramsey gang. Tom and Rick will be fired with cause. They work in an at will state. Both have earned dismissal. And it was Jurich's job to prevent NCAA rule breaking by our coaches. This is totally unacceptable behavior to me!
These criminal charges are based on the theory that these payments cheated the schools involved because they admitted student athletes whom they wouldn't have admitted if they had known of the payments. However, if there are reasonable doubts about whether the schools were actually in the dark, the defendants walk. I would guess that that is the likely path these defendants will take in defending themselves. That could make for some very ugly trials, if it comes to that.
Everybody will end up hurt by this, no matter how clean their programs have been.

Not exactly. They're based on the fact that public sector employees are involved in bribery under the guise of a non-profit venture. It's going to get really interesting when they start singing.
Tell me again how part of the reason why UConn was passed over by the ACC was that Jim Calhoun was SOOOO corrupt because one of his former team managers gave improper benefits to a single recruit. Man, that was child's play! I guess that we aren't ACC material. Even our corruption is small time by comparison.

But nowhere near as small time as your football program, the real reason you were passed over.

I knew someone would take the bait. That was fast (and almost too easy!!!!)

I guess if I were a fan of a dying athletic program I'd be trolling message boards of conferences said program has zero shot of ever joining as well.
