    The Yum Center is between a rock and a hard place if UL gets the death penalty.

      So, seriously guys: we all confident that Cal’s name isn’t going to come up before this is all said and done?

      Can’t say it hasn’t crossed my mind more than once today.

        I posted this in the wrong thread but Drew Franklin is a savage. Everyone take a little trip over to the following website.

          I'm not saying that I haven't thought about it. I'm hoping that maybe this is the reason Cal backed off Ayton.

            According to many callers into Louisville radio today, this all goes back to World Wide Wes. He apparently started AAU basketball, forged the unholy alliance of shoe companies and the sport of basketball, and I think they have him in that hotel room in Las Vegas.

              But seriously. Do you expect to hear Cal’s name from a legitimate source?

                According to somebody who would know on Twitter, much of this goes back to the sports agency ASM Sports. It was raided today by the FBI.

                The interesting thing there is that ASM Sports was reportedly the agency that almost got Nerlens Noel ruled ineligible a few years ago.

                    You would think if the FBI had anything else they would've brought it out today. Not sure why they would trot out these arrests and publish the charges document...and then withhold the little fact that John Calipari might've been involved.

                    It's like saying you went out on a date but leaving out the fact that the girl was Kate Upton.

                      Andy Miller's client list.

                      Nerlens Noel isn't on there but he was Miller's client until a couple of years ago. Keith Bogans is on there. Peyton Siva as well.

                        I guess my concern at this point is people squealing in exchange for a lighter sentence. It’s not that hard to imagine that some of these assistants are connected to other people who might have information on coaches who are currently uninvolved.

                          Isn't the investigation ongoing? Once some of this prison time starts getting thrown around, these guys are going to start singing.

                            Every coach in America has to worry about people singing, not just Cal.

                            If Cal's paying players then he needs to be caught and he can't coach here any longer. That isn't something anybody should be afraid of happening. Expect him to be clean (relatively; I'm of the mind that the entire game is relatively dirty all the way around) and then if he's not, don't spin it. Call for his firing. Everything should be above board.

Do these jackasses REALLY think they could, allegedly, do this? NOTHING was learned from the hooker deal?? Both of these slimeballs need to be tarred and feathered and run out of Louisville sooner rather than later. After a fair trial of course. I hope and pray they both go to prison. Pitino can take his HOF award and stuff it where the sun don't shine. Someone please tell me a dirtier, sorrier, more pathetic "university" on this planet. I'd love to hear it.

                                I agree. The dumming down of our youth is evident and the colleges are a big problem why. I believe that UNC should lose their titles and wins for last 6 years now. And this new scandal may help that happen. The NCAA name is tarnished big time with this latest issue.
