Our sources both say it's unclear if anyone on the Kansas coaching staff knew about Adidas' interference in the recruitment of Williamson.
*cough***YEAHRIGHT***cough*
The FBI has the Adidas guy in custody. All they have to do is ask him who at Kansas did you talk to, what was discussed, etc.... or face perjury charges in addition to what we already have you on.
Then the FBI goes to the Kansas guys implicated and asks them questions under the threat of perjury as well. This is the FBI. It's not the NCAA. The FBI can wire tap, undercover agents, surveillance, all of that. People seem to be all over the NCAA about not busting blue blood programs in the past, but they could do NONE of those things. All it would take is a guy to say "I didn't know about it". Poof... unless they had proof, not just a he said she said they CAN'T do anything. The NCAA is very limited in the methods they can use to get "proof". Right now the FBI is getting the proof for them.
**** is going to hit the fan, and it will be glorious unless we get snagged too. NCAA will act on all of this in my opinion. They pretty much have to. When the freaking FBI uncovers a ton of recruiting violations, there is no longer the "option" of trying to protect blue bloods.
Edit to add... The FBI doesn't give two squirts of piss about recruiting violations. They are going after criminal convictions. They don't care who is a blue blood or not, nor do I think they would not investigate potential crimes anywhere. That is their job. That is what they do.
What that means, is that even if it can't be proven that a recruit was actually given money, it may not be a crime. BUT what that means is if it can be proven through this investigation that a recruit was offered money (wire taps, etc) that is a recruiting violation whether he took it or not.
