That took a lot of research. Wow, I think there are a few thousand on this blog that could do a better article than that one.

if just being head coach where Evans was working put BU on the non-traditional hot seat, shouldn't Frank Martin be there too since it started when Evans was at SC? quality epsn reporting right there.
Definitely an easy click article. And definitely has no substance or incriminating facts. Just hate that BU is mentioned in that category.

ESPN sucks. There I said it.
You are correct...crazy that this defense worked. The NCAA is so lame.
Auburn is holding out two starters due to involvement with the FBI probe.

Well, I wonder what could be their response? "I didn't know my parents got paid!"
I’d have to imagine that one of the primary concerns of those buying teenage players is making sure the teenage players don’t know they’ve been bought.
I think it's more like they are more interested in those higher up the food chain than the players themselves.
Auburn players were linked up early by chuckp with agents (ala Evans)...not a recruiting issue for Auburn...an overly aggressive agent issue.
Blinders much?
Chuck Person worked for Auburn. If you think nobody at Auburn other than Person knew about this you are clueless.
Gibb52 , on "blinders"...I wasn't clear and I apologize for that. Just trying to distinguish the situation for existing players who were implicated in agent laundering...vs recruits taking money.
Bowen's in a better position to get reinstated than the 2 auburn players. agree that both programs will be on hot seat....not sure whats worse, programs feeding players to agents, or shoe companies paying 5* families to go to specified school.
Non- eligibilty is clear cut I think for the agent relationship for existing players,... a little less clear for Bowens situation... if dad got bonus from shoe company to direct his kid to Louisville.

It's all bad, and I apologize for being too harsh. It would be just like the NCAA to reinstate Bowen because "he didn't know". He knew. They all know.
Every coach at every school who deals with top ranked player recruitment knows. They just say they don't. K knows, Roy knows, Izzo knows, Cal knows, Self knows and 100 other D1 coaches know.
Some choose to stay involved when the going gets dirty, some walk away, but they all know.
agree... they (elite coaches) know.
I still think the partial answer is for NBA to allow HS draft picks like baseball, and perhaps require them to stay in G league until they are 19 or 20. ...those players looking for immediate payday could get it.
Interesting article from June on NBA possibly raising the age to 20...which I think would further stimulate the greed and corrupt culture surrounding college BB.

Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl is refusing to cooperate in the school’s internal investigation into his program, and university officials have advised him that his job is in jeopardy if he doesn’t, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
