FBI arrests several NCAA basketball coaches

[LouievileKat]

Good god its so beautiful. Remember that time Rick Pitino went on a mindless rant about the influence of shoe companies and Card Fans everywhere assumed he was talking about Nike and Cal. Turns out it was just a guilty conscience .

Everything they've accused us of doing.. and they're the ones that did it.

 

[FusterCluck]

Mark Stoops is loving Rick Pitino right about now.

WITH A TEAR...IN MY EYE...

This is the greatest moment in my life.

 

[Big_Blue_Skidoo]

I'm hearing Nike is involved in this in some way. Hopefully we're in the clear.

 

[GLR5555]

There has to be more still to come. This could be bigger than Hurricane Harvey.

 

[Ugoff]

Isn't it funny how, everything UL fans accuse Cal of doing, Pitino is ACTUALLY doing.

 

[Nuke99m]

Why are we talking about this on the anniversary of the first Kennedy Nixon debate.

 

[GonzoCat90]

I wish I hadn't read this at work. I can't properly react.

My God...

Hmm isn't UCLA Adidas? Could we get a big Baller brand tie in?

 

[WildMoon]

I'm sure all shoe companies are involved.

I Am also sure they are looking for UK, Duke, Kansas, or UNC as hard as possible.

Whether they found anything we'll see.

 

[jarms24]

Maybe the FBI should investigate the crooked officiating. Especially when it's so blatantly obvious.

Way bigger issue than paying blue chips especially when they're eventually going to get paid anyway.

Print it out and take it into the crapper.

This is Cal's fault.

GOODBYE FLORIDA LOSS!!! HELLOOOOOO LOUISVILLE CORRUPTION!!!!!!!!

 

[FrankUnderwood]

Hahahahahahahaha


Hey @Steelers2012 you dumb bastard ?? What’s going on buddy??

Lol this is glorious.

[wromanp7]

Turns out firing Tubby (not a Tubby bash) set the UL program back... to the big bang.

 

[Ugoff]

Could this be another million view thread?

This could explain the delay in the NCAA filing the response to Louisville's appeal. Remember, Louisville is already officially on probation (they didn't appeal that punishment), so this happened while they were on probation for some of the most serious recruiting infractions in history. Ruh roh.

I checked out UL board. Quiet. But steelers is nauseated.

 

[FusterCluck]

Dear Nike,

Burn it all. Yesterday.

 

[MWes11]

Can we assure we are not involved in any way or did all the names already come out?

 

[Cat Ballou]

Interesting - Bowen was one of those guys we made no effort to recruit last year to the consternation of some.

The year before, it was Terrance Ferguson we wouldn't touch, and he ends up at Zona before later opting to play overseas. Funny how so many of the guys we pass on we're later shown to have baggage - academic or otherwise.

Trevon Duval was another of those guys - so we shall see.

Some talk that a Nike exec is involved too, so may just be tip of iceberg here. I'm not going to crow too much until I'm sure we're not affected.

 

[JFCats22]

 

[JasonS.]

This was literally my reaction. Hilarious.

 

[dckala2]

Can we hang their banner in rupp?

 

[Ugoff]

Check the scout board. It's funny to read through the 7 stages of grief...

Their message.

UL spokesperson: The university is saddened to have learned that Adidas did this without our knowledge. Again, we didn't have any invol.. [interrupted by someone whispering in ear]

Funny thing is that we posted after each of the insane revelations about Louisville over the past decade (Syphergate, Strippergate, Foundationgate, etc.), but this time it could actually happen. Louisville might not be permitted to field a team for several years, or at the very least will be so gutted that they will effectively not have a program for the foreseeable future.

 

[Smashcat]

This would have to include Kansas.

Jim Gatto, one of the Adidas' head basketball honchos, being arrested is huge news. Could mean some big names in college are about to drop.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Holy god

 

[flacat22]

Pitino and Jurich now..."How the hell are we gonna blame THIS one on McGee?"

 

[55wildcat]

Can we hang their banner in rupp?
