NCAA basketball bribery scandal spilling over to football

[Gator87]

Financial adviser testifies he paid Notre Dame and Northwestern football players

Seeing the teams that are apparently involved I’m sure this is going to get swept under the rug and buried. The only teams involved that will take a hammer are Northwestern and Pitt.

 

[Jack o' Diamonds]

Obviously "financial adviser" is a euphemism for bagman...

Now who do we know who ALSO learned how to "recruit" at Bama? It's a Scooby-Doo mystery.

Sour grapes. There's no way such upstanding institutions paid recruits. No way I say!

I wonder if Alabama will still claim all the championships they’ll have to forfeit.

Actually never mind. I’m not wondering.

I just remember what they did to poor Charlie Pell. They ruined a good man. He built UF Football and paved the way for SOS.

And we all knew other programs were as bad or worse.

If they put Saban under Trump's microscope...I just wonder how Bama would fare?

 

[gatormandan]

I was told here that if you blame someone for cheating you must be losing to them. I don't think I agree.

This is legitimately nothing. This is tank black-esque. This advisor was trying to buy a client. He didn’t care where they went to school and probably did not even have contact while they were in HS. He may have paid assistants for access; that’s a different issue.

But the bag man? Nope. Not this guy.

That’s a boosters job and Bama has plenty of them. He’d be extraneous. This goes nowhere against these schools from that testimony.

Would love to see the whole system burned down so championships had some integrity to them.

we are now close friends............no matter what anyone says...........Charlie learned from the expert. He was doing less than they were in those backwaters like tuscaloosa or Athens or knoxville...........but HELL no we were the biggest cheaters on earth after Charlie woke up the sleeping giant. Bear said it was only a matter of time. And we get basically a 5 yr death penalty with all the sanctions..............there are not enough profanities to fling at those garbage filled cow town colleges for their hypocrisy. Worse, the still KEPT CHEATING.............SOS was their medicine and they swallowed a ton of it............
