It's head coaches being insulated...not a racial issue....

The fact that head coaches are predominantly white may be a racial issue. In cases such as these assistants are paid to provide plausible deniability - regardless of race.

Regardless of race, these head coaches better pray they are clean, because if I'm an assistant with a wife and a couple kids, I'm singing like a canary to get as little jail time as possible.

Black assistant coaches hired to recruit black players. Shocking! :whistle:

"A Minneapolis Star-Tribune study last season found only 13 African-American head coaches among the 75 major-conference college basketball programs. That’s 17 percent, in a sport where well over half of the players are African-American. The message is once their eligibility is used up and they are no longer of service on the court, there are few prominent places for African-Americans in the sport."

African Americans make up 14% of the population. Head coaches of African American descent are represented above the national average at 17%. However, over ten years ago black head coaches made up 33% of the head coaching positions at the top 75 programs. In a sport where the longevity of your job is determined by wins/losses, Black head coaches in most cases were replaced by white head coaches with winning records at other programs. One exception was at St. John's where we replaced Jarvis with an assistant coach from Kansas without a proven track record. The results speak for themselves.
Absent in the argument is the school's objective to hire the best talent rather than following a racial quota. Black athletes make up 75% of D1 basketball players. A rational argument would be that mostly white universities recruit mostly black players because they are more talented than their white peers. Also missing is any correlation that links a school's basketball success to having black head coaches. Even President Obama couldn't prevent Craig Robinson from being canned.
Fact of the matter is that because you were a star basketball "player" doesn't mean that you are better candidate for a head coaching job. Our own coach may yet prove that the ability to run a program is unrelated to playing the game at a high level.
The Seattle Times said at the time of Robinson's firing "Robinson is a good, fair man who was a classy representative of OSU. But his teams were poorly prepared and unfailingly leaky on defense. His last four teams were in the bottom three of the league in field-goal defense. Those four also led the conference in points allowed, which he would contend was a function of playing uptempo."
Sound familiar? Hopefully coach Mullin learns from Robinson's coaching deficiencies and should he fail I hope we don't use race as a factor in hiring his replacement because we have already been down that road at St. John's.

I guess it's reasonable to assume he will now be spending some of his pay day on legal fees.

Oh yeah, Auburn; you know the school Mustapha Heron wound up at. The same Heron who was going to SJU because of Rohressen's relationship with the family. Yeah right; as they say, always follow the money. Some recruiters, like some bands back in the day, are not what they seem without the payola. Some, however, are smart enough to get out while the getting is good.
 
Feds don't fool around;

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State University has received a subpoena from a New York grand jury asking for all documents and communications regarding "actual or potential NCAA rules violations" by players and coaches of the men's basketball team, The Oklahoman has learned.

The subpoena is linked to a college basketball bribery investigation that earlier led to the arrest of fired OSU assistant basketball coach Lamont Evans and some assistant coaches for other teams.

Evans was fired by the university after the scandal surfaced. He is charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and five other counts related to allegations that he solicited bribes to steer promising young athletes to specific financial advisers.

The subpoena demands that OSU either gather the evidence and turn it over to a New York FBI agent by Oct. 17, or have a university representative prepared to travel to New York and appear in person before the grand jury to testify at that time.

"Failure to attend and produce any items hereby demanded will constitute contempt of court and will subject you to civil sanctions and criminal penalties, in addition to penalties of the law, " Joon H. Kim, acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, states in the grand jury subpoena that was dated Sept. 27 and obtained by The Oklahoman through an open records request.

The subpoena is far-reaching in the types of records being demanded, requesting emails, text messages, cellular phone records, social media messages, computer records and a host of other documents and electronic records covering the time period from Jan. 1, 2014 to the present.

Even handwritten notes in the possession of OSU regents and employees are being demanded.

Evidence of men's basketball NCAA violations is just a small part of records the grand jury is demanding.

The grand jury is also demanding that the university provide:

• The personnel file of Evans, the former assistant basketball coach.

• All NCAA certification forms, including drafts and student athlete statements for Evans and "all current students on OSU's men's basketball team."

• All communications related to the above certification forms.

• All documents and communications pertaining to financial aid, including scholarships, for all current student athletes on the OSU men's basketball team.

• All documents and communications regarding actual or potential NCAA rules violations relating to the receipt of money, travel, in-kind benefits or services by OSU players and coaches associated with the men's basketball team, including communications between OSU employees and officers, communications with the NCAA, and non-privileged material from any NCAA or internal investigations.

• All communications between any member of the coaching or athletic department staff of the OSU men's basketball team and financial advisers Christian Dawkins, Martin Blazer and Munish Sood. The grand jury also is demanding communications with any parent of any current member of the basketball team.

I think its pretty clear at this point. The NCAA is a fraud organization set up to protect the blue blood programs. The FBI comes in and is finding all kinds of potential illegal activity and the NCAA still sees nothing.

=840
 
Since the FBI is going after the NCAA member programs and employees, I wonder if they plan on going after the NCAA Organization itself? After all, there is no doubt that the NCAA turned a blind eye toward the illegal activities by its member schools. Aren't they then complicit? If I ran an organization and knowingly allowed my members to partake in criminal activates as part of the normal course of business and of generating revenue, wouldn't I be criminally liable to some degree? Not saying it's going to be easy to prove NCAA knowledge, but the Feds have some very creative ways. The more I think about this, the more "RICO act" comes to mind.

NCAA Organization is a co-conspirator. I think that is the term you were looking for.
 
The NCAA level of corruption rivals that of the Olympic Committee. The FBI could open a RICO investigation since there are so many predicate violations. College sports would be better served with a complete overhaul of the governing body. The NCAA needs to be replaced.
