College hoops corruption case poised to take down Hall of Fame coaches, top programs, lottery picks

NEW YORK – It has been five months since the FBI arrested 10 men in a sweeping federal probe into the underbelly of the basketball world. As the three ongoing criminal cases resulting from the investigation plod along, it’s increasingly unlikely there will be another wave of double-digit arrests.

More legal charges still could come, but what’s becoming increasingly clear as the discovery portion of the case comes to a close is that the breadth of potential NCAA rules violations uncovered is wide enough to fundamentally and indelibly alter the sport of college basketball.

Former UConn Coach Jim Calhoun should be on the list.

Louisville, Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgetown, Villanova, Pitt, Florida, Syracuse, UConn, SMU, maybe Duke, maybe Michigan State. Dickie Vitale sucks up to all these programs with the exception of SMU; but hey, it’s SMU.

There are only two top programs that would be a huge shock to me; Gonzaga and Wichita State.

The original story was excellent and, so, thanks for posting it with the link. I gleaned a lot from the attached link to Wikipedia. My confusion over the one comment was sincere and not intended to be matronly. However, I have learned a lesson not to make such suggestions in the future.

You are sincere and are very valuable here on FR. You also alerted me to the fact that, although my post was clear to me (lol), it may not have been so clear to others who maybe haven't followed the story of corruption within the NCAA like I have been following this story. The inaction by the NCAA, has led to the FBI stepping in. (Who steps in when the FBI refuses to do their job?)

I was thinking of a time when I, heaven forbid, misspelled Sean Hannity's name, and a time when I double posted an article, and was thoroughly rebuked many times, almost at the speed of the electron. These are the folks that I was thinking about when I agreed with the grammar Nazi comment. Pardon me if that was excessive.

I love to post breaking news which is often outrageous, and that at least I think, is important. In my exuberance to be the OP (original poster), I often don't proof like I should. And, once posted, I have no further article editing capability.

I try not to be thin skinned, and I really appreciate your sincere and constructive inquiry. Please continue to constructively remind me when I should double down on my quest for clarity.
