Dog this is going to be like watching all of the mafia families falling down. Good chance shoe companies and NCAA with it. Reminds me of the baseball/steroids shit on steroids, and the federal govt is more interested in people stealing from them (evading paying taxes) than public youth safety concerns of steroid use

FBi strted putting eyes on this what, three years ago? When did the Louisville hooker stuff go down? Be nuts if they stumbled upon detailed evidence about that and other stuff during their investigations, since it was so recent and the involved parties were probably still doing their things.

This would be the absolute dream scenario. Unfortunately the cynic in me thinks if that were the case Book would not have held the job the past 3 years. Hope I'm wrong.

Timeline:

Me yesterday: I hope we have enough room for Bol, Shittu, Lee, Jeter and Shareef down low.

Me today: I hope we only get a one year postseason ban and don't decimate recruiting.

not yet, but as in times past, Coach Miller got out in front of the issue long before ANYONE else.

there is still one variable left, the NCAA...but who knows when and where this will arise.

there are many other shoes still to drop, we are lucky az was included in the first traunch

I believe the program/Miller will survive.

But it isn't all rosey, Little & Quinerly won't play college anywhere.

If there's someone who was paid on this year's team and that comes out this year or 2-4+ years down the line, well this current season would be erased. Plus a future post season ban for a team who wasn't involved (if it doesn't come out anytime soon), scholarship reduction.

So no we didn't die, but we got like a couple of broken ribs that could cause internal complications later down the line.

At the end of the day isn’t this just called lobbying. Happens every minute in DC and in every town with a political body in this country. You pay people/do favors in exchange for things you want.

I don't see how Miller could get in front of this without working with the appropriate offices on campus at the same time. It would be a notch above "self-reporting." It would involve Arizona being a willing part of the undercover investigation itself.

He's by far the latest to be involved. He is summer 2017 only.

That's part of what is insane. If he'd not jumped in right when he did, this doesn't involve Arizona at all.

Projection or do you actually know something? I don't need to know it - only want to know where you sit on the bs meter.

So Sean would be a witness, a fed confidant? I mean, wow.
