During MBB season, Jake Sullivan and Jess Settles were on KXNO and mentioned these issues going on in the AAU programs.
I believe Jake's AAU team that he played on was sponsored by Adidas, but he went to Iowa State, which is a Nike school. I think going to Iowa State upset some of his AAU coaches.
Someone who might remember that story better can correct me if necessary.
I wonder if you have it backwards? We weren't a Nike school when Jake got here.
since 1988, they have finished in the final AP poll 24 of those years. 22 of those in the top 17 or better, 20 in the top 15, 14 in the top 10.They aren't the main team on the West Coast. Arizona falls off for a decade and they are all but forgotten, UCLA does the same and the national conversation is on when the Bruins will be back. In my mind, they got after it because they want to be the team on the West Coast - unfortunately for them recency doesn't change much in that regard.
The difference in opinion here is that you have Arizona on the same level as Kansas, I don't.
You also have to remember that this is just the criminal stuff we are seeing. FBI probably has tons of evidence on NCAA rules violations. Hopefully they turn it all over to the NCAA.
The Arizona guy is Miller's right hand man. He has coached with him for 11 years. You are telling me he didn't know what was going on? yeah right.

Couldn't disagree more
Big Baller Brand did this!Amazing how shoe companies would be running college basketball.
I bet I could be an elite recruiter too if I could throw $100k + at recruits.I am sure it is just a coincidence that all of these "elite recruiters" happen to be elite cheaters as well.

Evans joined the Oklahoma State staff last season and was promoted to associate head coach and recruiting coordinator for the upcoming season. He coached previously at South Carolina and Kansas State. He averaged 8.5 points as a senior for Drake in 2000-01.
Is it really? Because this kind of corruption is a BIG chunk of the remaining US economy. The only thing that really surprised me is that the FBI actually did something and the NCAA had no clue. F*** the NCAA. How bad do they look now?
That and where in the heck are the UNLV coaches at on the list?
It's not really that the NCAA had no clue. They probably know but they aren't an enforcement agency and do not have the ability to provide a proper investigation (subpoena power) and really don't have a way to enforce what they would find.
I am so tired of seeing this. The NCAA does not hold the power the FBI does. The FBI used wiretaps and undercover agents to find these things out.Is it really?

Exactly, NCAA doesn't have anywhere near the power and authority to conduct proper investigations into these kind of things. They rely on people giving them information.
