Phase one is now complete
Don't hold your breath. I doubt there's a constituency in the DOJ or the SDNY U.S. Attorney's office to bring more cases like this.

This was never just about college basketball recruiting.

You are right. The coaches and institutions will deny any knowledge. The NCAA will not want to poke at the cash cow. And everything will go back to normal ... way too much money and power involved. History teaches us that power corrupts .. the more power the more corruption. But now perhaps we can get back to thinking about the basketball season ... Go Buffs
GO CU!!!
It never had anything to do with college basketball recruiting. It was purely about money - and the gov't not getting it's cut in taxes. Just look at how the defense wasn't allowed to bring up anything about Self, Louisville or anything about the general makeup of college basketball.
Anyone who thinks this is going to change anything, or cause anyone (other than some very low level staffers) to get in trouble is kidding themselves. The NCAA only cares if it causes bad headlines. This came during a time when no one (relatively) is paying attention to hoops. Now, when the next round of cases comes up around March we may see some fake bravado from them, but it'll die out right about the time everyone starts paying attention to NFL and college football training camps are starting up.

The only thing surprising about this is how long it took. The other thing this confirms, which we also all knew, is that Nike money is involved, and not just Adidas
I'll be fine with that outcome as long as it also involves Oregon's program being burnt to a crisp.
C-Unit better be on their sign game when these schools come to Boulder this season.
instead of big heads... Big Checks????
So if this does end up fizzling out with a few low level punishments handed out would we be advocates for CU getting in this game?
Aw come on! Not even just a wee little bit?
Yes. I want CU playing by the same rules as its peers. Don't cross the line into what peers would consider dirty. However, don't cross the other line into what peers would consider being a Ned Flanders program.
Do you know who are Director of Athletics even is?
He was recruiting coordinator as a new graduate at Illinois, spending about 5 years there doing that. McCartney got hired here from Michigan as a reputation as an ace recruiter and hired RG away from a former rival to take the same job at CU. Then, DiNardo took the HC job at Vanderbilt, they hied him away to do it for them there (before he got promoted to Associate AD).
In short, RG knows how the game is played and how to play it the right way within what's standard practice among our peers which doesn't get you into trouble.
