Good piece at ESPN which lays out how the FBI got from A to B, along with C and D: www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/20834050/the-story-how-fbi-brought-words-corruptionCoaches, players, their families, financial advisers, shoe companies, and high-end tailors: everybody's corrupt. For me, it's yet more evidence that big-time college sports need to be torn down completely. The NFL and the NBA need to do what baseball and international soccer do: set up farm teams and academies to train their players, to force Universities to stop using athletics and student athletes as cash cows. While it seems that some kids are making our from all of this, I think the truth is that they're all being collectively screwed over.

For a lot of kids, sports programs are their ticket out of poverty and through college, but in many ways we really do screw them if something doesn't work out in that direction.

There's still plenty of room for sports scholarships in college, imo. Just not in those sports that have become all about the money and hopelessly corrupt.
