"For the 10 charged men, the madness of college basketball went well beyond the Big Dance in March," Joon H. Kim, acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said a year ago at a news conference.
The cheesiest things I've ever had to edit for work were press releases that came from a district attorney/U.S. attorney, and I see that things haven't changed.

Per Dan Wetzel
During opening statement this morning, Jim Gattto's atty promised evidence would show Oregon offered "an atronomical amount of money" to recruit Brian Bowen to play for the Ducks. The $100,000 deal to attend Louisville was to "level the playing field."
Gatto's atty also said Under Armor paid $20,000 to recruit Silvio De Sousa to sign with Maryland and Arizona offered $150,000 for Nassir Little. De Sousa is at Kansas, Little at UNC now. Goal is to make all of college hoops look corrupt
Btw, Brian Bowen’s father made a deal and won’t be prosecuted in exchange for his agreement to testify.

[quote="Chicago Days" post=296895]The 'odd' thing to me of these big-time programs caught in scandals--some very major violations--is that top recruits do not seem to care.[/quote]
Most of these top recruits were top recruits well before this "scandal" broke out. Based on their histories in the recruiting process they recognize it for what it is, BAU.

[quote="Chicago Days" post=296981]Wow. Very succinct and clear overview,. Thanks much Paultz.
Ironic this stuff may have been ‘legal’ but clearly violated NCAA rules big time.
Should we expect a massive NCAA pardon of all major violators...except a few lambs?[/quote]
The investigation of this scandal and the trial already bears striking similarity to the Superfecta scandal involving likely fixed harness races in the 70's at Yonkers and Roosevelt Raceways. All the big time harness drivers in NY were initially indicted, but, in the end, the cases were dismissed and not one harness driver, except one guy who was a nobody who testified under immunity, was banned. Apparently millions were made from the fixed races, but only a few people got convicted, and neither was a harness driver. So if the races were fixed, who stiffed the horses, and who paid a price for stiffing them? No one. Same thing here. There will be a few peripheral players that will be convicted of something, but, for the rest, it will continue to be (dirty) business as usual.

I don't know all the details, which offers came from whom specifically, etc., but if I'm Book, there's no way I'm going down for Miller. I have a family, and I sing like a canary for them.
