Old Rick will just rat out every head coach in the country to save his ass, and come out the other side better because they are less good coaches in the game.

I wonder how far back they will go. I'm fairly certain CSP and GMAC did it clean. Fred probably did also, with only bringing in like 4 freshmen. Any other coach has me a bit worried.
hoiberg wouldnt stoop to cheating, CSP would probably turn himself in for thinking of cheating, Gmac was to dumb to cheat. LE TF and WM im assuming somewhat cheated at least, and Orr probably just lied to recruits saying flint was 2 hours from ames.
Floyd was dirty after ISU, so hopefully that started post-ISU and not earlier. I agree Eustachy and Morgan are unknowns. Orr was clean.
If they go back that far, pretty much every school is screwed.
I would think the statute of limitations would dictate how far they can go back.

Yeah there is no way that Floyd was clean only after ISU. But it really doesn't matter, they aren't going back that far because they have nothing.
Without divulging too much, a best friend of mine worked with student athletes (academics) back when Floyd was coach. TF may not have done what the FBI is investigating, but he and Gar were VERY SHADY. I loved the TF teams & their mental toughness, but I am SOOO glad that he is no longer our coach.
Well, second most. At least Rick can always run for office.

I just laughed out loud for like 5 minutes at the thought of Orr doing this... would be totally within his wheelhouse
I would agree that Fred's successful high school recruits -- a bunch of guys that had no business in P5 programs, Naz Mitrou-Long deciding to prove everybody wrong, and then a few high 3* and low 4* players (Niang, Morris, Thomas, etc.) that Fred forged into weapons of mass destruction through their character and his coaching -- were probably out of range of what the AAU handlers wanted and surrounded. Fred was an incredible Xs and Os coach; there is a reason he made it to the NBA, even if the Bulls stink. He made modest pieces into incredible weapons.
I wonder how "clean" was transfer recruiting, on the other hand. Do we think that Royce White and BDJ came here with no strings attached to them? They clearly had NBA talent and came out of programs/circuits with some shadiness behind them. Had handlers already given up on them as washouts by that point, leaving us to have a clean slate? Was there nothing behind the scenes with guys like Maurice Jones or DeAndre Kane or anybody else? I do not know, but that is where I suspect the trouble would be (if it is there with the ISU program of late).
Prohm seems like the most on-the-level guy in the business, but we really have no real evidence of knowing that. I hope Wigginton's recruitment was squeaky clean.
There were rules written because of what Floyd was doing. I doubt he was very clean at ISU.
I believe it. Sounds like you flipped Nike and Adidas, but the story checks out.
I was in the pep band, and there was apparently some discussion about whether the NCAA would make us cover the 3 stripes on the sides of our pants for the tournament. You know, protecting the TV audience from branding and crass commercialism.
As much as Johnny loved to drink he may have believed he was still coaching Michigan at times.
Here are my slimiest coaches, Dave Bliss, Rick Pitino, John Calipari, Bruce Pearl, and any KU coaches past and present.
Jay Bilas and Seth Greenberg on ESPN's "Mike and Mike" said that they "can't imagine" how Rick Pitino (and the Louisville AD) survive this scandal.
On "Mike and Mike", Jay Bilas downplayed the idea of long sentences based on the fact that these might be important issues for college sports but US attorneys have much higher priorities. He said that you might be talking about "months" if anyone serves time.
