From a source. Add South Carolina and Miami to the list of teams to be hit with charges. #NCAA

Gotta think every place the "original four" have worked will be under the microscope...

Miami is another repeat offender. From when Frank Heath was there.

And they're a Nike school, so, let's see how deep this rabbit hole leads

I'd imagine there will be a lot of pink slips in the near future as universities cut ties w/ anyone who might bring something down on them in all this just to try to save themselves from any possible NCAA sanctions

X degrees of separation...

that might work in normal circumstances sometimes, but I doubt that is going to help when indictments come down

The investigation dates back to 2015 and includes payments between shoe companies and coaches to help lure players to specific schools.

And 2015 was when they hired a coach from the Nike-EYBL AAU circuit.

Collin Sexton was the EYBL top scorer...

At this point, you start pinking them to keep your distance from obstruction and conspiracy charges.

They are praying football isn't looked into. So is Auburn.

That dude was Director of Enforcement and Certified Amateur Status for the NCAA before Bama. Amazing.

I'm interested to see if Pettway's name comes up in any instance related to UAT, he's the one that landed all the kids that were a UAB lean at some point.

Guys get hired because they know the holes in the NCAA enforcement system. And then, the FBI gets involved and...things change.

Yep, NCAA got caught with their pants down this time.

This just in. Memphis fans are upset that Tubby Smith or any member of his coaching staff hasn't been implicated. Proves he's not serious about recruiting.

Current rumor is that his wife works for an agent, so they wanted to remove any appearance of impropriety. We'll see if that's true or not.

Gonna be a lot of real and imagined connections over the next few months(weeks especially)
