NCAA Corruption Investigation - Kansas Identified?
-
Let’s remember, this is about one agent. I doubt it’s contained to one agent.
-
The really sad reality is these vultures circle these players and their families, knowing they need money.
-
haha…Roy says he ‘ain’t’ worried at all. Dook says nothing here.
Then KU has NOTHING.
Oh…Hey Coach K, what happened to Bagley. Naw, no impermissible issues at Dook, smh.
-
@truehawk93 I thought she took the money on February 16th 2016. He didn’t sign to be a Jayhawk until April 2016.
-
In honor of Apple Jones, I am starting Josh Jackson tonight in my Draft Kings lineup. Hopefully, JJ can get me the cash like his mom did.
-
Before he signed
-
Here’s what should be done.
Who had violations?
What were the extents of those violations?
How old were the violations?
Were the violations discovered and reported by the respected programs?
Also, how many players and over what amount of time should be reviewed in the investigations? Was it directly related to a program? Before signing? Or after they left the program?
What amounts were accepted? Unfortunately if it was over $200, it’s a violation.
I don’t understand why the FBI doesn’t take it up with these greedy azz agents only. But like Pitino, I find it hard to believe these head coaches don’t know about these issues. I think the majority DO.
I am surprised that Izzo failed to catch Bridges, but I don’t want my objectivity clouded by my ‘respect’ for him as a coach. But if this is the only recruit, with Izzo, I could see some type of allowance.
Mark Emmert ordered this investigation, it wouldn’t surprise me if the NCAA says, thank you and turns a blind eye. I think this was an objective exercise for the NCAA. I do believe the coaches involved and the agents should be charged with criminal activity.
Don’t punish the kids.

Does anyone think that would vacate the 2017 season if this is proven true?
-
@kjayhawks no

No, I find it extremely unlikely
-
Texas holding out Eric Davis. Only team that seems to not be denying it. Shaka earned a few points with me today…
-
Is the streak in jeopardy?
-
@HighEliteMajor nah
-
@HighEliteMajor no more than Woodens should be…
-
Im just plain confused as to what this all means for KU. For one thing I have zero doubts about Bill Self’s integrity and ethics. I have a very hard time believing he did or would do anything that would compromise that and risk KU’s reputation.
For another thing, I saw Josh Jacksons name on that list as well as Elijah Johnson’s.
Again, no clue what this means or what will happen. But this sucks donkey balls. What the hell??
-
I swear I saw something that says Elijah Johnson , 15k loan a couple days after he left KU. Am I crazy?? Did anyone else see that?
-
-
I think this presents a Clear and Present Danger to NCAA basketball…this just about sums it up…
-
Apple Jones claims the the rumors are false, http://www2.kusports.com/news/2018/feb/23/josh-jacksons-mother-apples-jones-denies-accepting/ , the next deal becomes what can they prove any of stuff happened? If a guy just gives you names of people he has given money to, if even true he’d have to have a paper trail.
-
@kjayhawks She doesn’t sound like a person that would get within 100 miles of any sordid business. She appears to me to be too smart for that- she certainly is no dummy. And if she is right, then what is trying to be accomplished by trying to smear her, and KU?
-
Worst case for KU will likely be some combination of probation and a loss of a scholarship. If more comes out, that could change, but for $2700, there won’t be anything major with KU.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I knew Arizona cheated to get Ayton away from us!!! Miller is rotten.
-
@Big-Clyde52 they are so screwed lol
-
Sean Miller supposedly caught on wire tap talking about $100,000 payment to land Deandre Ayton.
-
@Buster-1926 The bigger fish is Miller at Arizona!!! 100K worth of fish to get Ayton.
-
No wonder he sweats so much! I bet he paid ole tarz. too. Didn’t get his money’s worth on him.
-
Is there a difference between a family member getting money compared to a player?

If it’s on tape, Miller is screwed.
-
Report: FBI Wiretaps Show Sean Miller Discussed $100k Payment for Ayton’s Commitment
Sean Miller is a tool. No wonder we missed on Ayton. We didn’t offer him $100,000. This is absolutely unacceptable. This is the type of crap that needs the death penalty, loss of scholarships, and loss of coaching position.
-
Kinda like Preston’s car, if it was legitimate then there should be easily traceable documentation – same with these ‘loans’. Apples Jones’ denials seem credible enough to me. I am going to withhold judgment until there is more evidence than just names and dollar amounts on a spreadsheet.
-
@mayjay Let players fabricate what they will. The truth will come out in an investigation. You can’t make this crap up on the fly. This is a nasty mess. As a bball fan, I’m saddened.
-
I have a problem keeping a straight face when I read Yahoo and Federal documents in the same sentence. Seriously, when did Yahoo become a credible legal watch dog?
-
Speaking of the tourney. Can you imagine what tv sponsors are doing right now?
-
@truehawk93 FBI apparently chose them to be the ones who they trust to release the info
-
Why doesn’t Yahoo find out about Bagley. He’s like Waldo. Where is Marvin Bagley? Inquiring minds want to know. Now all we need is the National Enquirer and Jerry Springer interviewing the agents, with the coaches. We’d have an all out knock down drag out show.
How about BAD BOYS OF THE NCAA…“Bad boys, bad boys…whatcha gonna do when they come for you, bad boys bad boys…”
(
)We know what Sean Miller does when they come for him after offering players $100,000 to play for Zona.
(

-
Does anyone know who our announcers are tomorrow? Going to be ugly all basketball day long having to listen to the ‘talking heads’ about this debacle.
-
@truehawk93 I missed your post.
-
Yeah, we need to get focused on the game. I’m sure they will make this mess a point of interest at some point during interviews. I hope if Holly Rowe is on the floor, she refrains from asking Self any questions about this crap.
Self has commented all he knows and frankly, nothing on KU at this time. If the whole Apples $2700 thing is all they’ve got, it’s moot.
-
Gonna have to have a special tournament this year. The on probation tournament.
-
I’ve been waiting for the Ayton news since the first second he said he was going to AZ. I knew there was money involved.
-
BIG TIME, MAJORLY SCREWED…He can’t sweat his way out of this coaches box.
-
@wissox Maybe they’ll issue ankle monitors?
-
It sounds like they made up the emails in question. It sounds like she didn’t play their game. Now, these emails are simply emails. I’d like to see if they have anything with her responding, or accepting any offers from the agent or even Adidas.
They claimed to advance $1700 before JJ signed with KU. But I never saw a balance of $1000 for the alleged $2700. They even mentioned in their emails that she was working the AAU and that some other figure was involved. But that Adidas was “taking good care of her.” She denies having anything to do with Adidas.
She denies even knowing the agent making the claims. She does know Christian from the AAU circuit, but did nothing with them. This sounds like a dead end and unless they can prove Apples accepted anything, check or money order, draft; They don’t have squat. She knows that world and doubt she would jeopardize her son’s career.
-
Bleacher Report is saying Jackson’s mom was getting significant amounts of money from UA and Adidas.
About 2/3 of the way down.
Thoughts?

I think these ‘agents’ are a bunch of aspiring wanna bees that sent out emails to look good. They threw around JJ’s name and even his mom, but she accepted nothing from the agents, nor did she claim anything with Adidas. As some have said, she works the AAU circuit and was the mother of a top recruit. She didn’t play their game, but their ‘emails’ are empty. They went no where. Unless they can produce some proof of payment, she didn’t accept squat.
-
@truehawk93 , I believe this was from a wiretap, if I read it correctly - not an email…
-
@truehawk93 That’s the problem in crap like this. The players who take the money receive no punishment really. They’ll leave the school and sign pro deals and make a lot. Sure they cost themselves the rest of their season and maybe a chance at the dance, but they’re the ones who hurt everyone else by taking the money in the first place. Really pretty sick deal for all of the innocent players and even for the fans of those teams.
-
@Gorilla72 not a wiretap
-
-
@Buster-1926 The NCAA isn’t the FBI. They don’t have to follow innocent until proven guilty in this case. They can nail Sean Miller to the wall tomorrow if they really wanted to in this case.
