I think the risk to a school like Duke is if a heralded player like a one and done, took money before enrolling in school and the deal didn't involve the coaches at all. It involved just the shoe company or agent. The school would have played an ineligible player and be subject to NCAA penalty. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg and who knows what will turn up with the FBI subpoena power and prison sentences possible.

The two ex Duke players in the NBA that are sponsored by Adidas are Rivers and Winslow. Hopefully nothing shady went down.

Between the hooker/stripper scandal and now the fraud/corruption scandal, what does everyone think will be the total punishments that Louisville will get hit with when it’s all said and done?

Apparently a UL assistant is on tape talking about paying for a player a month after the COI made their ruling. I think it's going to be really bad for them and I agree with @timo0402 about pitino being done.

I just cannot see any way in hell if Lville wants to avoid the death penalty that they keep him on.

I don't think Louisville gets the death penalty. Not due to lack of merit, but from a practical standpoint, how many times has that ever happened? If they haven't dropped the hammer on the cheaters, I'd be shocked if the NCAA has the audacity to pull the trigger on something like that.

Just my opinion though.

The only reason I’m thinking Death Penalty is because this is the third instance involving Pitino and UofL

I agree with both of you that Pitino is going to be done at Louisville. As far as punishment goes I think on top of the punishment that they’re already facing from the stripper/hooker scandal that they could be facing more vacated wins (depending on when this fraud/corruption scandal began) as well as more scholarship losses and postseason bans for multiple seasons if not the “death penalty”. It’s definitely going to get really ugly for them.

UL has a great great tradition and heritage in college basketball and it will be a shame to see them get the death penalty but they are not above breaking rules and are not entitled to anything. If the death penalty is warranted then so be it. This IMO applies to all programs including Duke if warranted. All programs no matter how great the tradition is or how many games and national championships they've won or how numerous their fan base is. Did I mention all programs . Yes all of them. OFC

If Pitino is gone and UL is hit hard they may have a tough time getting a top level coach. They may have to settle for a young mid- major coach who's willing to bite the bullet for several years. OFC

No program is super clean in recruiting. Let's just pray Duke has been on the up-n-up the last couple of years.

Pitino has always been shady and this is the end. He wrote a book which stated a close friends death on 9/11 changed his ways. Since then Rick had the restaurant episode, escort scandal and now FBI bust. Enjoy the forced retirement b/c you did things the wrong way.

A school like Louisville will never get the death penalty. Its not what I would call a "major" university like a Texas or Duke for example, but it's too big to give the death penalty. IMO....

Dad's a former NBA player and now a NBA coach...need the money?

Winslow is pretty close to the same. Don't think there is a need on his side either.

Pitino lawyer statement "Rick does not expect to lose his job but we will fight for the $44M left on the contract"

Stay classy Premature Pitino!

^I wonder if Montgomery was one of the players involved in any of this? He was a Duke target at one time. It doesn't look like we'll be signing a big that's a top-50 recruit this year, so we might have to rely on graduate transfer to strengthen our frontcourt for 2019.
