The NCAA still doesn’t get it, they are clearing kids to play based on what the school and the kid are telling them, standard Op procedure of old. Hope the FBI makes them eat it again!!

The schools are betting that the NCAA won't drop the hammer on everyone, since this is involving so many major programs.
Can't link, but it's in Pat Forde's article on Yahoo.
The Yahoo article was sourced solely from Dawkinss side, mostly emails from Dawkins to his boss. He said he was shopping Bowen to Michigan State; there wasnt anything about how Michigan State responded. Certainly much smoke around East Lansing, but they will need more than what Dawkins represented to Miller that he was doing.
I listened to Greenberg and Dakichs podcast, and in between Dakich ranting and mumbling about Izzos always telling everyone else what they should be doing, now hes saying he doesnt know anything about anything and Coach Ks writing books telling everyone else how to live but he doesnt know whats going on, they both agreed that Dawkins was as big a con man as they come and additional verification would be appropriate.
Anyone think the issues with Sean Miller may affect recruiting for Archie Miller? I do not think Archie had anything to do with how his older brother may have done things. But in the same light, glad we did not get him last year.

Guilt by association? Didn't we just go through that with Underwood and his OSU assistant?
I didn't see any Illinois players in those documents.
I guess we picked the right time to be terrible!
Maybe Bruce Weber and John Groce weren't so bad after all.
$400 is like 80 little cesars hot and readys. So much pizza.

I think he actually followed up his statement with "... starting now."
Link? Article I read discussed helping Dawkins sign Bridges, in exchange for helping MSU get Bowen. No money offered. Big Leap, unless there is something else I haven't seen.
There’s a crapload we all haven’t seen. Keep in mind, these are the emails from an !!!’t to his boss from just one company (ASM). How many others are out there? To think that they are not all doing it because it’s been permissible for so long is pure naïveté. And because it’s been going on, it’s essentially been a bidding war for top players to go to top bb schools, to sign with the top agents, shoe companies… It goes on and on. Is it any wonder that Groce who I think tried to play by the rules, kept missing on these top recruits? The fact that he is not a very good basketball coach, is a whole other matter.

The more I thought about this overnight. There are a couple of things I do not understand.
1. Why is this coming out now? If there are 3000 hours of tape or what ever, would they have not had the information within a month of the initial arrests?
2. If this is all true. Why were there no legal indictments made instead of a media leak? This is now being tried in the court of public opinion, not an actual court. Breaking U.S. law vs violating NCAA rules are different animals entirely.
3. Total conspiracy theory Is Sean Miller the coach that gets thrown under the bus instead of some of the bigger names in college coaching.
4. In every other article, there are statements about how this is like a traffic ticket compared to how college football recruiting works.
Bridges and Ayton have been cleared to play.

These are not FBI leaks, these leaks most likely come from the attorney representing the person on the other end of the Miller phone call. It had to come out anyway so he choose the time.
The FBI has had this information for probably a year or more but they are not done so no need for indictments because they are still gathering evidence and the net is getting bigger.
The FBI loves to let you stew wondering what they do or don't know.
This is not TV. It will not be nicely wrapped up in 30 minutes.
The more I think about this, the stranger it becomes. How in the hell do they make a decision on this so quickly? How can you do any kind of investigation? There's so much more to this than is typical of a player's circumstances. It just reeks to me of gloves off treatment made by one of the power brokers in the network or NCAA.
The way they're trying to sweep this under the rug reminds me of the curlers furiously sweeping in the Olympics.
