Idk I think you have to include Iowa for the hilarity factor.

1) Barta said he extended Francis in response to the scandal in thanks for him doing things the "right way".

2) How funny would it be Fran was cheating and that was the roster he assembled? I'd probably break ribs from laughing so hard

Excellent point and I am changing my opinion because of your point

This is the correct answer.

I have zero inside knowledge, but I always got the feeling Abdelmassih was living in the grey area.
I think he was doing stuff against NCAA rules, I'm not sure he reached into FBI probe territory. Oztelberger too. I suppose we'll find out.

1. Kentucky (Hopefully the cheating finally catches up with Cal)
2. UNC (Ditto for Roy)
3. Auburn (Ditto for Bruce "slime" Pearl)
4. UNLV
5. MichSt
6. tOSU (and perhaps, somehow, Aaron Craft will be implicated too)

I think it's a given that Kentucky and Calipari will be on this list, the guy has been caught cheating multiple times already and with all the 1 and done high profile recruits he still gets it would be a HUGE shock if he was actually clean this time. I've always felt Roy Williams has skeletons in his closet that he has been very good at hiding and maybe this time they finally get exposed. Scott Drew at Baylor would be no shock as quick as he turned that around and sustained it after the big scandal there. Pretty much would not be shocked if any blue blood school winds up on the report, it's hard to sustain that kind of high level of success where you can lose a ton of talent to the NBA on a given year and be able to reload with a bunch of 5 start recruits and barely miss a beat. Steve Alford and UCLA wouldn't surprise me considering his history of lack of morals plus he got commits from all 3 Ball kids at one time before that mess blew up on him and we all know how much their father LaVar likes to chase the dollar.

You just hope that we are in the clear, we did get dinged on some compliance issues back in the Hoiberg days with some recruiting contacts made that did not fall in compliance that we self-imposed some sanctions over but as far as we can tell I think the Prohm staff does a good job of identifying talent early and establishing those relationships before other big schools get involved. This year's freshmen are a prime examples, we were one of the first to be in on Wigginton before he started to rise in the recruit rankings and he stuck with his commitment. Lard had a lot of interest from some power 5 schools but he didn't get a lot of offers because of the questions around his eligibility which we benefited from sticking with him while that played out. We were in early on Horton-Tucker for next year too before he started climbing the rankings too.

College athletics in general has just become such a dirty environment. So much money involved in fielding competitive teams that it's not surprising that those involved will bend the rules to gain an advantage.

I probably should read up on it more, but how does the FBI actually 'prove' some of this? For example, let's say a booster and/or some school is giving lots of gear and financial support to an AAU league in which recruits play. Doesn't mean that's why the recruit chose that school later on.

It is their job to prove this kind of ****, and they are very good at it.

Sting get a hold of. Which ones are you hoping it comes out that they cheated?

1. UNLV- Just because I think they took two of our recruits by paying them. I honestly believe that

2. North Carolina- They already got caught cheating and the NCAA did nothing. So I would like to see them go down

3. Kentucky- Just so Calipari will be a three time known cheat and shut them blue bloods up

4. Kansas- Just because they act all high and mighty.

As much as I hate Iowa. I don't want to see them getting caught breaking the rules. Maybe if they were killing it and the fans were being normal Iowa fans. However, they suck so it is not worth seeing them cheating and sucking at the same time.
Kentucky, ucla, Iowa, North Carolina, duke, unlv, Texas, florida, misery, Arizona, Louisville, syracuse, uconn, Arizona State , florida State, Ohio State, and the ones I missed. That's just my shortlist, lol.

Oh yeah kansas twice. One for crybaby roy and one for self!

So appropiate that they won it all last year

Kansas is cheating. It’s been proven that Adidas was paying players to go to their top schools. And Self’s weird response in September sure sounded like he thought KU was in trouble

Colin Sexton was involved with schools busted by the. FBI, includng mighty Oklahoma State. How did he get cleared to play?
