Funny how cheating really does pay-off.

The sad reality, especially in the world of sports and college athletics, is cheating wins.

You will never stop those who will do anything in the search for money. And winning equals money.

And money equals the NCAA will look the other way.

Quote:Regardless what happens with the criminal cases, sources with knowledge of the FBI investigation told ESPN this week that the clandestine probe could result in potential NCAA violations for as many as three dozen Division I programs, based on information included in wiretap conversations from the defendants and financial records, emails and cell phone records seized from NBA agent Andy Miller. His office was raided on the same day the FBI arrested 10 men, including four assistant coaches, in late September.

“It’s not the mid-major programs who were trying to buy players to get to the top,” a source told ESPN. “It’s the teams that are already there.”

The sources told ESPN that many of the alleged incidents involve illegal cash payments to prospects and their families, as well as players and their families receiving tens of thousands of dollars from agents while they were still playing in college. In some cases, according to the sources, NCAA head coaches were aware of the payments, while others didn't have knowledge of the schemes.

They'll throw a postseason ban at a few teams and then, just for kicks, take 5 more of SMU's scholarship's until Dubya himself is suiting up for them.

It is absolutely insane how harsh SMU's penalty was, and a school like Louisville will probably get nothing despite clear proof of wrongdoing.

Quote:This goes a lot deeper in college basketball than four corrupt assistant coaches," a source briefed on the details of the case told Yahoo Sports. "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.

Quote:It’s unclear why charges were dropped against Augustine. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan declined to comment. Augustine’s lawyers did not respond to a Courier Journal email seeking comment sent before 1 p.m. Monday.

Hopefully because he took a huge plea bargain deal, and ratted out loads of sleazeballs.

I thought the charges were dropped because he never gave the money to the recruit but kept it for himself.

People forget how egregious SMU's violations were. It wasn't a rogue coach or even an entire athletic department, nor even a President who looked the other way. The board of trustees literally kept and distributed a slush fund for paying recruits and players. They were caught once and put on probation for it but thumbed their nose at the ncaa and kept doing it. People make them out to be the victims because it wrecked their program, but it was the worst case of lack of institutional control at the highest levels of a university administration that we've ever seen.

I think BM and Cataclysmo was referring to their sanctions a couple years ago, not the Death Penalty in the 1980s. SMU's indiscretion a few years ago pails in comparison to what Team 6 and others like them have done lately.

I would LOVE to see a ton of arrests/sanctions come down in the next three weeks. Get the cheaters out of this year's tournament.

In reality, the few sanctions will probably hit in about 4-5 years.

and Cleveland State will be put on probation.

Every time this thread shows a new post I read it to see who got arrested... I think it's safe to say not going to happen.

only to find we're one of the numerous programs affected

If we are, I'd like to see us punished with the rest.

So, not at all?

this will decimate non power schools, possibly us
