These payments defrauded University by depriving it of the finanical aid University continued to award to the relevant student atheletes under false pretenses."

Looking like Adidas is the major player here. Paying assistants and recruits. Not finding Nike names outside of the list on reddit but Adidas is coming up... Everywhere

If your school is tied to Adidas and brought in a high profile recruit recently I'd be a bit worried right now

Zonas involvement looks to be about recruiting and commitment of Jahvon Quinerly.

Thought everyone figured out like 30 years ago to have the local car dealer pay for plausible deniability.

They did, except this time the FBI has wiretaps and video evidence of them setting it all up.

They could basically arrest everybody involved in NCAAB. Kinda sucks if it just ends with this list here.

A lot of speculation it goes way beyond what's listed. More coaches, programs.

Bruce Pearl and Rick Pitino have to be done.

Mississippi State is an Adidas school and has been signing big time recruits. They recently stole a 5 star from Arkansas and some of the recruits have said the kid got 100k. That seems to match up perfectly with what the other recruits were getting.

The recruiting world thought it was weird he ended up at Louosville when he was supposedly down to Creighton and MSU. Now it all makes sense - Louisville came in with that midnight 100k lol

Yup seems like it hit 100k too Because another company (maybe nike or UA?) made another offer

Yeah let's actually be informed citizens of the world in this thread.

Duke pays players. Michigan pays players. Louisville pays players. Every school that has made a Sweet 16 in the last 10 years has paid somebody at some point.
