Feds making arrests in a fraud scandal involving college hoops.
Adidas paid to have players go to "Adidas schools".
Yes, the players got paid, and the feds even have evidence that the bribes were used to get players to commit to the schools.
This will be interesting to watch play out. There are some big names schools involved. The feds acted first, so let's see what the NCAA does in response.

What's really important is did any of the players sell their own property? That would be a punishable crime.
Paying players to come to your school isn't. EX: Johnny Manziel, Cam Newton, everyone playing in the state of Mississippi, pretty much the whole SEC, etc.

Pitino and the AD have been fired.
Now it's being reported they're on leave. This is to avoid wrongful termination lawsuits. Not really sure what one has to do to be rightfully terminated, but running a brothel, committing fraud, and illegally recruiting kids don't seem to apply.
Both should have been gone during the brothel scandal.
Auburn loses a top recruit.
Make note that the feds have advised others to turn themselves in now instead of waiting to be caught. So this story is not done.

This is going to become THE sports story of the year. That's saying something considering the NFL and the anthem bullshit.

Louisville just lost two top 100 recruits.

Ouch. So far no first-hand evidence, though.Leisher wrote: Pitino was funneling money to recruits.

No first hand evidence...yet.
However, the proof is all there. The witness is detailing things that are all being proven true. The kid has been indefinitely suspended, and I guarantee you when threatened with jail time for him or his family for tax evasion, he'll come out and admit it.
Pitino himself could be facing jail time.

Of course, we live in a world where your words can be considered assault, so...
