Well, well, well....there may be a bunch of 4 and 5 star recruits looking for cleaner programs.

or do the kids get to transfer, AND keep the $$$? Asking for a friend.

But this still won't stop all the Beilein haters.
If it wasn't already, it's now absolutely clear why we can't pull in 5 star recruits. There's no f'ing way Kentucky is clean. And I imagine UNC is even dirtier than they've already proven to be. Is any program that's reeling in 5 star recruits clean?
Now it's obvious that we were cheated out of the 2013 NC in every way imaginable.

Really glad this happened in a sport where we never cheat.
September 26th, 2017 at 7:19 PM ^
To see how many more programs are implicated.

Yet not nearly as bad as covering up child molestation.

If the players accepted large sums of money and not claimed on their taxes, wouldn't they be liable for criminal penalties from the IRS?

This seems like it will force the NCAA to redefine whatever it is it currently means by amateur. And most people will nod their heads and let this pretense continue because the alternative isn't all that fun to contemplate.
So all we can do is wait for the other proverbial shoe to drop. No one's getting death penalties, even if the FBI has proof of the worst of what seems to be happening.
UNC basically operated a diploma mill for athletes for decades, and nothing happened. And UNC is a decent university.
The NCAA isn't going to do anything interesting here. Too much to lose.
