I don’t think Illinois has much exposure to this unless Underwood himself was engaged in illegal activities. We have no evidence at all that was the case.
If the fear is that Illinois will be exposed because of the “coach responsible for his assistant” rule, I really doubt the NCAA will be going down that road. Roughly 10% of the P5 schools could conceivably be in trouble based on the 4 arrested assistant coaches alone. Assuming this investigation expands, what is the NCAA going to do? Put 20-30% or more of their money-making schools on probation?
No? The NCAA is going to concentrate on the buying of high school recruits. The Louisvilles of the world are the ones in trouble.
Oh, and another note... I think UNC had a very bad day yesterday. No way the NCAA will simply bury their academic shenanigans in the wake of this investigation. The NCAA came away looking toothless and irrelevant, and they’re going to make a statement to reverse that perception, with UNC an easy target directly in their crosshairs.
Illinois as an institution has no apparent risk of investigation. Underwood personally does have some apparent possible risk- and Illinois' risk is that BU gets in trouble. Consistent with yesterday's statement, no information out at his point about BU culpability, so assume he's fine unless info comes out otherwise, but there is obviously some investigation that needs to be done.

I just can't see BU risking his million dollar "dream job" so that one of his assistants could make a little extra cash.
How many times do we have to go over this? The FBI has NOTHING on BU. The main concern should be from the NCAA enacting "Head coach is responsible for everything" rule. There are other much more clear cut cases that are still on going into the FIFTH year. Nothign will happen and the only thing you need to be concerned about at this point is brand image. We'll be fine.

Too bad everyone couldn't just take a moment and enjoy the fact that Bruce Pearl may be going down in flames. AGAIN.
Read the detail analysis of Evan's actions and tell me how confident you are about Underwood being off the hook.
I feel ill.

Has Evans told them all he knows though. Evans is going to be trying to get his sentence reduced. Evans has worked for or with BU at multiple jobs.
Fine for Illinois sure, fine for BU and then as a result Illinois rebuilding effort? Depends on what Evans claims BU knew, or did.

Read the whole thing. I see nothing, perhaps you have the flu.
Some fans reaching for nothing.
It's almost as if they want Illinois basketball in trouble.
Innocent until proven guilty just don't work nowadays.
