A federal investigation into the "dark underbelly" of college basketball exposed bribery schemes in which coaches at top programs took cash to steer star athletes to certain managers and helped funnel payoffs to players' families to ensure they signed with particular schools, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Some of the biggest names in college sports — from Adidas to the University of Louisville — were caught up in the probe, which began in 2015 with the help of a fallen financial adviser who agreed to wear a wire for the feds.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim said the FBI and prosecutors set out to investigate the "dark underbelly of college basketball" and found a pay-to-play culture flourishing.

Do I see a pattern here? Funny the Liberal MSM did a short blurb about the "incident" but didn't have photos of the accused. That would be racist I presume.

DeleteNO! @Bogsidebunny. This story is as old as college "B" ball. White coaches and athletic departments have been doing this FOREVER! Remember Joe B. Hall at UK? He got busted for the same thing in --what the early 80's? U of L will most likely get the NCAA "death penalty" when the dust settles. Everybody in Louisville has known that they are top to bottom crooks. Nope this IS NOT about the ethnic makeup of the coaching staff. It is about the bottomless greed of the university's.---Ray
