I'm more p*ssed we got smacked in the 80's when there was no proof our coaches knew.
In hindsight did you really want Wiggins?
Also Adidas accusations aside. Wiggins was never going to go to UK with the Harrison's there. Wiggins was between KU and FSU in the end. Besides the Adidas allegations, Wiggins was also only 2 hours away from his brother. Nick Wiggins being at Wichita State played a massive part in Wiggins picking KU over FSU.
They definitely have that clause. They just added it to their last round of bylaws or whatever you call it. They now have the right to piggy back on the investigations of any 3rd party enforcement or investigative body to bring swifter action.
They are going to get to pour over hours and hours of tapped phone calls, IMO. Calls that weren't allowed in court. So a lot of this stuff like calls where we didn't get all of the context because were weren't allowed to hear the entire call or read the entire testimony, they will get to see that.
Again, There is also the chance that im totally wrong as i'm kind of winging this thing.
honestly I think UK was only mentioned for P.R. I never felt good about getting him.
Thank you.
I’d also point out that this will lead to appeals, which could keep the schools in question in the spotlight for even longer.

For all the hype Wiggins was a little disappointing in college. he wasnt Skal disappointing..... but then again lets be honest...... the real disappointment in Skal was that they ever rated him that highly to begin with.
Skal was overrated but also lacked drive and was incredibly soft.
Wiggins on the other hand definitely has the talent. But man that dude lacks any drive whatsoever. Disappointing because of what you see he can do when he wants to play at a high level.
His talent.... if he had any drive what so ever he'd be a top 3 player in the NBA. But instead of Wiggins we got James Young... who coincidentally also lacked the drive.... kid even admitted he forgot plays seconds after Cal called them.
I challenge you to go 2 days without mentioning UK or their fans. Your obsession is unreal
I wouldn’t write him off yet. I think he got his shit together this summer. I’m interested to see how plays this year.
You don’t know me like that Pops. Only time I bring up UK is when your fellow fans bring up UNC. Why don’t you challenge your fan base the same thing in mentioning UL or UNC.
Shred it because it shows that townsend was discussing cheating like that with a guy that was involved in cheating ... showing that KU knew what was going on
Does Townsend look like a shady mustachioed man that would set up deals on the back burner? on second thought.....i retract that question.
Haven't read all three pages, but just to be clear, the headline of this topic is incorrect. They were not charged with "defrauding universities", but rather wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Obviously defrauding universities isn't a direct charge. However, the concept still stands. That is what's being reported, that is what I'll say.
They were also charged with defrauding universities out of scholarship money. at least thats what the articles have said
No need to dwell, but;
"Adidas employee James Gatto, former Adidas consultant Merl Code and Christian Dawkins, a former runner for NBA agent Andy Miller, were found guilty on felony charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud after a three-week criminal trial in federal court in New York."
"The jury found all three men guilty of both counts. Gatto was also convicted on an additional count of wire fraud."
I saw two articles mention those and defrauding schools so I assumed it was 3 charges. I guess defrauding schools was part of one of those main 2 charges then
I wasn't trying to be an ass. Just want ppl to know exactly what happened and not led by false titles.
Its all good... If I am mistaken about something... I'm perfectly ok with people correcting me. I'd rather know the truth so thank you for informing me
Interesting. When I think "victim," I typically don't think of institutions that are complicit in the illegal activity that they claim to be victim to.
Oh someone will be punished....unfortunately its going to be my great grandchildren who are the only ones around to witness it. So, in about 35 years....someone will be paying for this!
