Adidas DED

The more likely outcome is that Russell tried to play with the big boys, failed miserably, and we get an ass pounding for the glaring failure of cheating badly with no results.

Or Berkshire Hathaway just buys the other 3 and everyone gets Russell

2019 GT football uniform: Adidas Samba shoes and umbro shorts.

In all seriousness, this is going to really shake some things up. Miami and Louisville may end up properly ööööed.

Miami was caught paying players and Louisville was caught buying them prostitutes. The combined penalty was $30 and a half game suspension for thr backup punter. They'll be fine.

Im kind of curious why this is a federal crime rather than a NCAA recruiting violation? I mean, I'd rather the FBI spend three years resources to bring down an organized crime gang than focusing on some recruiting shenanigans that *everyone* knows goes on at *every* school (except pure as snow GT, of course). It just seems like such a waste of time and money?

They broke federal laws, not just NCAA violations. That's the simple answer.

The complaint alleges fraud of scholarship money from the Universities. Then there is money laundering because of a bunch of fake PO's, invoices and checks. But money laundering needs an underlying criminal act, which is technically defrauding NCAA. It's legally true, but absurd.

From what I can tell, the FBI didn't go out looking for it. FBI has a "CW-1" at many of the meetings, who I guess got in trouble for a real crime and flipped on this Mickey Mouse shit. It made a good press release to say sleazy agents and big shoe companies are laundering money. But everybody except the Universities are better off in the transaction (i.e. players, assistant coaches and companies).

These universities receive Federal funds. As such, when their employees commit these type of alleged crimes, the Federal gov't steps in.

We don't really want the NCAA investigating federal crimes, or state crimes do we? Please lord, no.
