That already is not true. Louisville has cleaned house and auburn Is waving the white flag. Alabama lost a compliance Guy after An "internal review."
Lots Of things yet to fall
I would guess 5 years, but who knows. Will be interesting to see how all of this unfolds.
President Leath sounds a little too comfortable when it comes to being investigated:

Auburn president Steven Leath told ESPN that he received a call Monday night and was advised that an FBI agent wanted to meet with Leath the next morning, without any indication of what the meeting was about. Leath said he wasn't worried, because he assumed it had to do with his security clearance related to certain projects and research work on campus -- not about athletics.

One thing is certain, he wasn't flying prospects in himself, they want them to live to commit.
That actually could be true. Just because the FBI comes to see you doesn't always mean it is bad.
Not joking
I doubt they know anything about what these coaches are saying. This isn't some NCAA investigation with 50 leaks and inside sources. This is the freaking FBI. I doubt they would look kindly on leaked info. I doubt Jay and Dicky V have sources in the FBI.
FBI should check the football records while they are there. Being efficient may save the taxpayers a few bucks.
Pitino already got fired..... Again, this isn't an NCAA investigation, I don't know why people keep saying "The NCAA wont do anything to the blue bloods". This is the FBI. Thy don't give a **** who yo are.
Not completely done at Louisville yet...I'd expect the fight between Louisville lawyers and the coaches lawyers to be a battle to the death. His buyout right now is $41 million...but who knows what is written into the contract. The splatter from that battle will be massive.
Notice the use of the word "snitch" in the tweet...some people obviously a bit peeved about this whole "uprising."
If hiring hookers for recruits doesn't get you in trouble, wonder if a fine does. He's on unpaid leave so if no negative action happens he can comeback.
Remember how when Sexton was a relatively unknown recruit we were mutually interested in each other then he blew up and we all of a sudden were never talked about? Something tells me money got involved and Prohm said no. This could be a good sign.
Exactly, that's a big sword hanging over Louisville's neck...more than 50% of Louisville's entire annual athletic budget. And they would still need to hire a new coach...who will not come cheap.
This is a little different. This is federal law enforcement. If Nike is paying the players or paying assistants to pay the players, it is probably some type of bribery. If a couple of these events are proven to be crimes, that is when the NCAA can come in a issue the "lack of institutional control" thing. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but this seems to be the course this could take.
Cripes people. There's been hundreds of posts since this image was posted and not one person said "would" or "wood". I'm really disappointed.
Do I really need to quit my job, skip my kids' sporting events and stop sleeping just to stay here and monitor you all to make sure you're all continuing with our long-standing traditions?
