    Well, I don't think just NBA guys are getting paid. Even with the info from the other day (saying about half of the 16 teams revealed on selection show past Sunday would be in trouble) I don't think X would be part of it. The only concern here is the association with Book.

    I have a hard time believing X is completely free of sin here (or any other high profile school). Hopefully not the paying of players, or providing gifts for families, but we do have a deal with Nike, and alot of bad things can come from those deals (kickbacks, influence, bribes etc, etc).

    If we come out of this smelling like roses, it even further raises the profile of Chris Mack as the best coach in America, and positions X to take the potential leap into blue blood territory over the next 1-2 decades.

    Agreed. We could very easily get tied to all of this through recruiting certain players and Nike's "involvement". Guilty by association.......could be in play.

    Louisville's NCAA fate being announced momentarily. Granted, I think this is just hooker scandal related. More to come on the FBI scandal. That's a lot of layers of scandal.

    There's quite a bit of cash fines involved, too, I believe (including giving back NCAA unit money). That's more important than normal for Louisville, because the backlash to getting rid of Pitino and Jurich from fans/donors has left Louisville much less flush with cash than normal.
