The people who were on trial were not people that I like, or that I feel sorry for. But for all the crap they did, wasn't there some other charge they could have been prosecuted for?? I don't really know what that would have been, but couldn't they have come up with ANYTHING else??
Rick Pitino was a victim. Louisville was a victim. That's basically what the jury ruling said. The schools who were getting these players were just unwilling participants in an elaborate scam to victimize the schools by un-amateuring the players.
Wow.

I don't know what the NCAA is going to do. I could guess, but I know that's all it would be.
The issue that I can't seem to wrap my head around is a jury's decision to look at a situation where two parties (really three) were all working together and knowing they were breaking NCAA rules, and decide that one of those parties was a victim, and therefore the other party should go to prison as if NCAA rules are somehow now the federal law.
I just....don't.....even know what to think about that."You can't fix stupid." Ron White

I think that it’s more a decision that the schools that did not get the players involved were the victims. They lost out on the recruits because of the things that the people involved did. That is what made these things illegal....because they caused harm to the other schools. At least that’s how I’m interpreting this ruling.
Read today and interesting question.....will the parties involved in the other trials yet to come be inclined to make some kind of plea bargain deal with the feds now? Also read that only about 20% of the actual information gathered by the federal investigation was even used in this trial. There are many more people and schools involved, but those people may not have broken laws, only NCAA rules.

That last quote by the AD referring to the Adidas relationship is priceless: "I think it's a time to use that partnership to both of our advantages"...isn't that what got them in trouble?
How sweet it is!

You guys probably haven't seen the end zone expansion at Louisville's football stadium. This is not a photoshop.
