Littlebill Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Debuted last night - includes audio from Will Wade and Sean Miller. Haven't gotten into it yet myself though. Has anyone watched it yet? It is crazy that Will Wade only starting paying guys once he got to LSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty frustrating to see that this case against Christian Dawkins was taking up so much FBI time and resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more frustrating thing is that more of the corrupt people involved weren't prosecuted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all we got out of a long and expensive FBI investigation was the conviction of Dawkins and a couple of other low-level basketball handlers. It was objectively a failure by the FBI.

Pistol Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Agree with NH. My main two takeaways were: 1. Amateurism is a sham. 2. This was a colossal waste of time and resources by the FBI. At best, they netted a few small fish and gave up larger ones to do so. Sentences and penalties were minimal. Three years and untold taxpayer dollars spent - including the lead investigator blowing some of it in Vegas - for virtually nothing. There are multiple high-level coaches on tape breaking NCAA rules and they're still employed. The schools have already said they aren't doing anything after new questions since the film has aired. It's enough to make people question why the NCAA even exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes people not only question it, but goes a long way toward providing them with a pretty clear answer: to enrich itself, conferences, schools and coaches through unpaid labor. It also makes people wonder what the FBI is doing spending taxpayer money to enforce a private non-profit organization's rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
