Adidas federal court trial

Don't know how many are following this, but it started this week. There have already been some bombshells dropped. Some schools we knew were involved: Louisville, Kansas, Arizona, NCSt, Miami, So. Cal, Maryland & Auburn.

Teams that have come up in testimony.......Kentucky, Creighton, Texas, Bama, LSU, DePaul, Oregon, Ok St, Miss St, Wash, Utah. UNC's top recruit Nasir Little is also named, but no one has claimed he &/or his family were directly offered $. Rumors are it was an AAU coach. But it's not hard to imagine a scheme to have the cash trickle down.

What should scare basketball schools is that the Adidas execs on trial aren't denying anything. Their strategy is to say what they did isn't illegal but standard practice. The defense is they didn't violate governmental law. They violated NCAA laws. So whatever comes out of their mouths is material for the NCAA to come after the schools.

I think this article by Yahoo!Sports is spot on.
