    Where did you see this? I haven't seen anything about Louisville. And it's in XU's interests that we don't see anything about Louisville.

    I've seen OK State, Auburn, USC and Arizona.

    Arizona surprises me. Miller is going to have some explaining to do. He could be in big trouble. "I didn't know my player(s) were being paid" is not a very good explanation, if in fact that is what occurred.

    Edit- And the indictment does say Arizona players were being paid.

    What's interesting here is that the schools involved all have different shoe company deals.

    IIRC, USC/Louisville is Adidas, Arizona/OK State is Nike, Auburn is UA. So are all these coaches taking money from Adidas to push a player to a DIFFERENT Adidas school?

    Interesting thing here. Adidas reps/employees have been named, all assistants are at Nike or UA schools. I have no idea beyond that

    If Lavar Ball is involved in this somehow, it will be epic. Probably not, but that would be entertaining.

    I suspect the next step is the FBI will sit down with a few of these guys and say, "You want to cut a deal? Fine, who else is involved?"

    And I agree that Pitino is toast, based on the above article.

    The good news from a Xavier perspective is that Louisville's program is likely to be so hosed that the job may not be attractive to Mack in its current state. Maybe Pat Kelsey or someone of that stature.

    Don't fool yourself. That school has no moral integrity whatsoever. They'll do whatever it takes to get their guy
