You think the NCAA won't acknowledge the FBI report?

Some players will probably lose their eligibility, some coaches might lose their jobs, but other than that, it's business as usual (just with new pieces).

I should have checked ESPN before posting...FUCK.

Kind of surprised Jawun Evans wasn't named considering OSU's assistant coach was named in the ring and he surprisingly (kind of) left early for the draft.

I think there is more to come with this. It’s only the beginning.

It's just the beginning of the info from one agent. Just think once they start looking into more agents.

Waste of tax resources . Just like the roids in baseball deal.

Big money College sports hasn't been about amateurism since shortly after television first started broadcasting games. Granted this goes beyond pillow money, but I would be fine with the downfall of big money college sports and the creation of a real minor league system for both baseball and basketball.

That said, I agree with ahoda. The current system ain't going away, and this will do very little to change it.

America is really the only country in the world where academics and athletics come together in colleges and universities. Everywhere else, they are completely separate entities.

To really change the system, the professional leagues would have to be the driving forces. There is absolutely no way they do that, because right now, their 'minor leagues' are free to them.

I don’t get why the bug name basketball players don’t go to Europe for a year or 2. Get paid, fuck bitches, then nba

Because the players in Europe, on average, are better than the players they would play against in their 1 year in college, so the "prospect" value decreases, especially if they don't play a lot overseas. Plus, it's easier to justify a draft pick as an NBA team as a "project" if the fans are familiar with them (i.e. Embiid or Simmons on the 76ers) instead of someone like Jennings after he went and played in Australia for a season.
