I dunno.....although the IRS specifically lists that illegal income is specifically taxable, I'm going to bet that these guys haven't been including it on their returns. (:lol:) Seems worth chasing to me just on that aspect, even if it's a short-term net loss to the government.

They're spectacular with their movie line drops... will be interesting to see if these schools have to not play basketball for a few years.

If I'm these university AD/Presidents i self impose a 2 year post season ban, fire the staffs, and reduce scholarships

Probably not to long.....

FBI probe will change college basketball this season and for years to come

The top 25 could look different with eligibility cases now popping up and recruits scrambling

Start with the coaches. Arizona's Emanuel Richardson, USC's Tony Bland, Oklahoma State's Lamont Evans and Auburn's Chuck Person have all been suspended. Soon, they'll all be fired, probably never to coach in Division I again. But before they go, who will they take down with them? It's key to keep in mind that more coaches are under suspicion. It's key to keep in mind just how much leverage the FBI and the Department of Justice will have when it comes to leaning on defendants.

These coaches and financial advisers and shoe company reps are not drug mules protecting big bosses in a cartel. They're family men who work at proud universities, men working a corporate basketball ladder who got caught up in a money game while trying to lure the best players in an effort to eventually land themselves head coaching jobs. If pressured, they'll likely have little reason not to talk in an effort to reduce their own punishments.

As for the teams, and the players, college basketball's preseason top 25 stands to get a makeover.

Arizona is the preseason No. 1 team here at CBS Sports. But how many players on that roster are subject to investigation? How many players could be held out or ruled ineligible? In a flash, Sean Miller's program has gone from preseason title favorite to an alleged cheating machine. The school has already canceled its media day scheduled for Wednesday.

The article seems to leave the door open to even more coaches/players involved. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out:....

Not sure if it's been brought up yet, but important to remember that this is the FBI. Unlike the NCAA, they have the ability to reach out to former players, subpoena them and threaten them with contempt if they refuse to appear and perjury if they lie. The NCAA can do none of that. Once a player is gone from college, he can literally tell the NCAA to kiss his ass and GTFO.
