Wonder if the Anthony Davis recruitment is too far back to get some good dirt on? Chicago Sun Times eventually stood by their reporting that officials at a couple of universities stated that the Davis family asked for money to sign him and that they were told Kentucky paid 200k. Davis family threatened to sue but never did.

if the brian bowen's of the world could get 100k, of course anthony davis got that kind of cash. i'm surprised these players couldn't get more.
You might be right about this but my question really is, "If there are multiple cases of breaking federal law (in this case, by the athletes) and a continuing pattern of this behavior at one institution, what would the NCAA regulations say about that?"
This is making the (probably somewhat unrealistic) assumption that all university officials have reasonable deniability of some sort.
We all know Fran is dirty now. he gets all his recruits from the Iowa Barnstormers and they are Adidas sponsored. The rumor is that Ryan Kriener got free hot dogs at home games and Bohanon got free lifts for his shoes.

Is my memory correct that he "coincidentally" ran into Michael Jordan while he was there on a recruiting trip? Maybe that was Marcus Paige.
I just want to state the FBI Smackdown Prediction Thread is a pretty good thread title.
Probably every big recruit to UNC accidentally bumps in to Jordan.
Yay, Gossamer's cartoon avatar is back!
was it gone? I don't get it? WTF is going on!!!

It would also be a great title if EA Sports decided to bring the college MBB video game back...
NCAA 17 - FBI Smackdown
Relative to Auburn.
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.

I've been wondering if his mother bought a new car and house shortly after he signed.
Since it's the FBI and not the NCAA it should not be a case in which the guy getting passed while going 68 in the 65 mph zone gets pulled over.
To be fair, our society has been conditioned to believe that the Blue Bloods are "untouchable." Louisville, Calipari, Brucey from Ahburn (I hope they burn too, btw), UNC, etc. This is why I'd like to see UL get the hammer! It might wake up the talking heads AND the public at large that this s*** won't be tolerated - not even when it is committed by the NCAA's golden gooses.
