I'm kind of with you. You have to work your way through a pretty long list before you can even start to make any case re: Illinois.

The Bowen UL situations fits this. His recruitment, (like others i'm inferring this), seems the most visible part of these indictments.
You might want to check out the Rovell tweet somebody posted just a bit ago.
My Jimmy Collins PTSD is kicking in. I believe some schools exist just to serve as a buffer for others. The NCAA can proclaim it's doing something if it banhammers Illinois, while simultaneously ignoring what goes on at the blue bloods.
On a related note, Bruce Weber just found out that there is probably some shady recruiting that has been taking place in college basketball...

I am trying to understand how this fits in. If a last minute $100K payment tugged Bowen to Loo-ville, then why were none of their coaches indicted? Did any of the four indicted coaches do anything like this?
Pistols Firing on Evans: Link
I didn't read everything, but it seems like all the charges against Evans relate to kickbacks from sports agents, etc. vs. recruiting violations. If that's the case, the only problem here for Underwood would be a stain on his judgement for hiring Evans. It seems pretty straightforward to think that an assistant would hide these types of kickbacks from everybody and that that coach would be "clean."

Rovell is also a world-class moron. Did Slick Rick get taken down when his assistants were buying hookers for kids?

Again,

This is not an NCAA investigation. This is the FBI, federal charges and the Southern District of New York. This is a huge bombshell.
Don't they sort of have to? If you ignore an FBI investigation and indictments of coaches with these sort of allegations, why exist?
By any chance was that shortly after Billy Thompson's recruitment and his selection of Louisville? That was when I first heard that exact same thing and it certainly qualifies as "decades ago."
Well assuming he's completely innocent, he wouldn't have known so how can that reflect on his judgment?
Assuming he didn't know it was going on, the only way BU gets some punishment is under the NCAA rules that hold head coaches responsible for assistants.

LOL at it being live at Louisville Courier-Journal though. They know they need to watch it.

Under the "Always punish Illinois if possible" rule.
Summary of Jay Bilas' opinion: if the benefit went to the school (e.g., getting a recruit) then the NCAA might go after the school. If no benefit went to the school (e.g., assistant pockets a kickback) then the NCAA is not likely to go after the school.

That's what every agent and coach I've spoken to is wondering.

Huge question: Will there be deals cut to keep people out of jail? And where will those fingers point?

Maybe the language I used was strong, and I dont think the legal process is going to find a way to punish BU, but I do think it's possible UIUC is put in a position to void BU's contract at some point. The NCAA is such an erratic organization that seems to figure out punishments by spinning a wheel or throwing a dart. These things dont just flare and sizzle out in a few weeks. I should say I probably spoke too drastically stating its more than a real possibility, but I do feel like this is an outcome that tends to have a higher probability at UIUC than it does at other universities. Probably extremely early to be making claims on what is the most likely outcome.

Well, if it helps, it only has Evans on the picture for bribes to steer to agents and not giving kids money.
