They've made their first arrests.

None of those guys are ready to do time in prison, so they'll sing very quickly. Even Bruce Pearl will be shocked on how fast those dudes snitch on the rest.

Remember, the FBI is also trying to place real statutory charges on those who committed NCAA violations.so there's lots of kids and parents who will give up the goods and have no loyalty to any NCAA basketball coach or shoe company.
The Federalist discussed the FBI attempt when the need broke.
