Unless he is providing information to the FBI regarding a crime that the UA committed, what would be the point? The FBI doesn't care if he spills on some sort of NCAA violations. And one would think that if there were others involved from the UA in this case, the FBI would likely already know about them by now.

Yes exactly. And when I mentioned that to this personal I was told that I was in denial and am guilty

Kansas played an ineligible player. They will lose the final 4 and it's money and also the league championship when all is said and done. Just like Arizona did wnen Jason Terry took money from an agent without staff knowledge. Bill Self's streak of conference championships is over. That is not just my opinion it is also CBS Sports.

So are you suggesting that the ESPN allegation that Ayton got paid is true?

If Book had anything at all it would have been known already. He may have a bullet for the chamber somewhere, but it's going to hurt the sleezeball AAU/Shoe Company circuit, not the UofA. If Book had anything of remote value, he would have used it already.

His only saving grace is the fact he's a nobody, a piss on loser really. He'll get some half-assed probation, told he can't coach High School/College Kids for some period of time (not likely to ever get a job in the realm again anyways). He's a small time crook who cheated on his SAT's and shit on a cop car. He's nobody from nowhere with nothing.

The only potential hurt to Arizona from the limp dicked NCAA is institutional control, which is fucking laughable but the NCAA likes to pretend it's a beacon of moral superiority. We're getting docked 2 scholarships at worst. Most likely 1, and I'd not be remotely shocked if the NCAA just tucked tail and went away completely.

Book is on tape alright, on tape showing what a self satisfying rat he is.

Hey, at least when Mizzou pays to get players, they do it legally within the NCAA rules, pay payroll taxes on the money spent and report wages to the IRS. I'm pretty sure most of these players have a parent or guardian that would be willing to hang out with their kids after school for a few hours for 6 figures! Plus does it count as an athletics schollie if you attend for free because your parent is an employee?

That would be Genius!!!!! We've been doing it wrong the entire Time!!!

4 times in recent memory and they can't fix the problem. Hasn't Kansas always had a problem getting guys eligible but there is nothing to see here. Looks like enfuego is targeting his family with that post. Yeah a respected journalist is backing a college grudge by targeting a school that has had 4 issues in a year and a half....lol. Wait till Gatto sings.....it will flip Bill's wig.

It is quite clear that Kansas has paid alot for its players so if that was the case he would have gone to Kansas.

Kansas is a blue blood so even if they did do wrong nothing will happen to them. They're immune to any kind of serious punishment. It's not in the financial interests of the NCAA. That goes for all the blue bloods; Duke, UNC, Kansas, UCLA, and Kentucky. The NCAA and FBI are going to make an example out of programs like Arizona and other programs that are routinely good but not elite. When it's all said and done none of the aforementioned blue blood programs will even get a slap on the wrist. My guess is Arizona gets two years probation, loses a few scholarships, and ends up parting ways with Miller. Hopefully it's not because he was deceptive with the FBI in which case he could see considerable prison time. At this point I'm not sure who to believe. To be honest the whole situation is really starting to get on my nerves.

Kentucky got 3 years probation, 2 year post season ban, tv ban and lost scholarships for playing 2 ineligible players. Maybe they got off light because of who they are and maybe it was a different era, but it happens.

Far as I can tell Arizona hasn't played any ineligible players. Other details are mostly speculation so far. Any prognostication on punishment is pure guessing.

First off the FBI doesn’t give a shit a bout blue bloods. And Kansas has played two ineligible players and as far as we know as we know az hasn’t. Not sure where you think we 2 years probation is a possibility.

The FBI case has nothing to do with KU. Last I heard, the FBI cannot dole punishment out to NCAA basketball programs. Now if you want to talk about ineligible players and AZ.... one of them is about to be a lottery pick and two more are going to be second rounders or play professionally in Europe.

If someone like Alkins was getting benifits that would have made him ineligible then there is no way J Jackson or Bagley didn't get similar benifits.

I like how you skipped over the obvious choice, Ayton. KU can't control shoe agents, just like UA can't control coaching staff.

Arizona had a similar situation where Jason Terry received approx. $16K from an agent. No one on the staff had a clue. The result....U of A had to pay back all tourney money and vacated the wins in the tourney and I believed forfeited the conference title. Plenty of precedence on the correct punishment. Kisss the final 4 goodbye.....get ready to give back $1M or so and kiss the consecutive conf title streak goodbye. :lol: :P :mrgreen: :o :D

Oh and I think we lost our consecutive tourney streak......at least in the NCAA record book.

Enfuego's feelings are so freaking hurt right now. I normally wouldn't enjoy such a thing, but with this prick, I'm gonna go ahead and drink that milkshake. Eat a dick jayhawk.

To the guy predicting two years probation. Are you out of your damn mind? Arizona is a lot closer to receiving zero punishment then any sort of ban. At most it's two scholarships for not telling Book to kick rocks years ago.

People need to step back and look at the NCAA's past history and where it's consequences have been going the last few years. That company is a paper tiger. Louisville got off pretty light (unless you're one of those weirdos who think vacating past performances is an actual thing and that because a bunch of stiff nancy boys won't have it written down in their worthless almanac so it didn't really happen outlook.) UNC went and Pete Rosed itself and the NCAA did nothing, UNC has made a mockery of the amateurism rules, and the student athlete construct. The NCAA itself knows it's nothing more than a ATM at this point, it's lost all moral high ground. It's impotent. Fuck it.... in it's stupid ass.

Two years... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well if he read that article about KU he probably understands how they're about to be Louisvilled so he's lashing out a bit, which is to be somewhat expected when the thing you love is going to be reduced to ashes.

What they're getting at is the only story released since the Arizona story by Schlabach has been taken down by ESPN. At least i think it's the only piece he's written

He also wrote this:
http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basket ... ssion=true" target="_blank

When he tweeted about it the link he put in his twit was incorrect and sent you to a "page not found" screen.

This is the first I've seen of the actual article.

It is all about adidas. Ku, nc st. Miami...

Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Wow, 5-year postseason ban for schools that cheat. That would destroy a program like the UofA, http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basket ... tions-ncaa" target="_blank.

The NCAA will probably take it. This recommendation is exactly consistent with the NCAA model. They want to do what is best for the players. Because it's better that Bowen gets 0 dollars to play for Louisville as opposed to getting $150,000 to play for Louisville.

Same joke organization, different day.

Unfortunately these Recommendations will likely be accepted and in full force by the time the NCAA gets around to formally investigating and charging the UA. Books trial won't take place until next year.

Also, remember the NCAA is the schools. They do the bidding of the schools. The schools that run this show are major conference schools, many of whom have been on probation or have names on the list, etc...

I really do not see the NCAA enacting such a thing for violations occurring prior to the establishment of the penalty for a ton of reasons, not the least of which is the schools won't be OK with that, and then I really do not see the NCAA handing out such a penalty to any major school. But Wisconsin-GB better walk the straight and narrow.

The NCAA operates the collective home of a bunch of schools. And this is a business.
