Quite a list...
Schools appearing bold (beyond those implicated last year) appear to have the most serious allegations levied against them, in the form of potentially impermissible benefits and preferential treatment for players and families.... The ACC elite highlight this group, along with Kentucky (cough, cough...). Counting the seconds until Jay Bilas weighs in, in favor of paying student athletes.
Alabama, Arizona, Auburn, Clemson, Creighton, Duke, Iowa State Kansas, Louisville, LSU, Kentucky, Maryland, Miami, Michigan State, NC State, Norfolk State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Seton Hall, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, USC, Vanderbilt, Villanova, Virginia, Washington, Wichita State Xavier
Good to see Chris Mack come up with a proactive response. Can't imagine Greg McDermott getting sucked into this, as Patton had yet to blow-up when he committed to his hometown school. Hoping Nova isn't involved. Then there's Willard at Seton Hall... of all of the BE schools mentioned, this is the one program that I'm wondering about. And Willard's part of the "Pitino Coaching Tree"...
Missing from this list (which I would have bet money on): Baylor, Florida State, Oregon, Syracuse...

This is a little different than I was expecting and appears to be an agent reaching kids. I heard on the dc are radio that the allegation with Virginia is for $64 and could be this guy dawkins just trying to get reimbursed without a meeting taking place.

I heard on the dc are radio that the allegation with Virginia is for $64 and could be this guy dawkins just trying to get reimbursed without a meeting taking place. Fair enough. Much like Michigan State (I like Izzo), which appears to be implicated as a result of reports that < $500 was provided to the prospect and his parents. Can't recall which coach was outed in the past decade or so, for giving a player enough $$ to catch a plane home for a family member's funeral (was it Gillen during his time at UVA?). There are lapses, and then there are outright abuses. My gut tells me the NCAA will go full bore on little Norfolk State, and require a decade or two before sweeping allegations against Michael Jordan's University under the rug. And while I'm at it, sanctions against programs (if found guilty) should be severe enough, where it becomes difficult for them to raid other programs of Coaches and players, as they look to "reload" in the wake of any penalties.

Is this about agents paying players? So if Whitehead is home over the summer and this scumbag gives him $25K, is this something that Willard should know about?

It would be tough for Willard to have known but, still, it likely results in Whitehead having been ineligible to play...I think their B.E. Championship may be in jeopardy.

I've got no issue with that but was under the impression there was evidence of coaches involved. If it's about agents and players, when are they going to hit football?

While nothing would surprise me, I was expecting SH and thought SJ may have some problems too.
Auburn not a surprise and they are going to win the SEC. Pearl - nobody has ever said he couldn't coach.

This is the first time I can remember that RI institutions are corruption free. Rejoice!

Not surprised about Seton Hall either. I thought it was pretty much fact that the Whitehead recruitment was dirty along with Tiny Morton.
