They really don't have the staff to be looking into every possible violation.

THIS. There is a root cause, and more often than not if a kid is taking money it because a person of power in his life has told him it is a potential avenue.I would love it if some these AAU programs get taken down with this.
It's gonna be hard to really differentiate that, unless it is painfully obvious or poorly covered up, due to the Adidas Circuit and teams lobbying for moving from Nike to Adidas to Under Armour year in and year out.There is also another angle here. Adidas (ticker addy) was booking the payments as sponsorship of an AAU program. This will flow into an SEC investigation for questionable accounting. I would be shocked if it didn't.
Now comes the wave of sudden coach retirements due to "health issues".

Oh I can't wait to hear what Pitino has to say. Didn't he somehow try to bring up 9/11 when talking about the last scandal?
"He trusted too much" if I remember correctly.Oh I can't wait to hear what Pitino has to say. Didn't he somehow try to bring up 9/11 when talking about the last scandal?
That's what I find interesting - the UNC thing wasn't a major story, in part because there weren't high profile arrests, etc. If these guys start flipping, if Head Coaches, or maybe even the NCAA, are on tape as complicit, does that spur them to act where they wouldn't when it was outside the judicial system?
Rick has nine lives....Rick Pitino has to be the first guy...right? Maybe Bruce Pearl beats him to it...
