Now we know why they didn’t have time for Cruz
I’m not holding my breath waiting for the bluebloods to get severe punishment. Maybe this time, things will be different.
Why not end the pretense that these athletes are students. They are semi-pro ball players.
I don’t see anything in that article nailing all of those schools as schools, only a few specific ones, like Louisville. Some of those schools may lose players, sure, but not the school/program, based on that article.
The potential for blackmail has got my attention.
Any of these players could be ordered to fix games on command.
Tell the coaches and staff about the player and watch them do nothing. Then they can be black-mailed to fix games as well.
I would be stunned if organized crime wasn’t involved in gambling scams on this one.
Who cares North Caroline held fake classes for athletes for 20 years with ZERO ramifications. The NCAA is a sham.
Here’s a bold idea: Why not make colleges about LEARNING and not about sports? Stop admitting students based on their intellectual ability and not their athletic ability? Make college athletes pay for the privilege of playing instead of giving away an education because they can throw, kick, or catch a ball??
This video explains it all much better than I can.

All this seems to have been initiated by the sports agent, identifying pro prospects in high school and trying to establish a relationship with them before they even sign with a college. The article doesn’t make it clear just how the college coaches or programs might fit in and be guilty of any NCAA violations.
The “extra benefits” seem to have all come from the agent and not the colleges. Need more information to understand what role college personnel played, even though a few have already been charged with something.
And this is only the beginning. The agent in question could “snitch” on other agents involved in similar schemes, too. And it could get Nike, Adidas and Under Armour involved, too.
