Its a slow drip of information, I suspect soon its going to be a tidal wave. This from ESPN 

"While Nike doesn't have a direct connection to the case, three of the four assistant coaches who were alleged to have been paid to bring players to an agent and a financial advisor are from Nike schools -- Tony Bland of Southern California, Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State and Emmanuel Richardson of Arizona."

So far its Auburn, Louisville, Southern California, Oklahoma State, and Arizona. Obviously Pitino knew what was going on as he is identified in this article

What kind of fallout do you expect to see? Obviously Louisville should get the death penalty. North Carolina academic scandal should have the same outcome for them (but probably wont).

Here is the problem, something like this is completely unprecedented and I am not sure the NCAA has any rules for this kind of thing. Of course neither did the Jerry Sandusky scandal with Penn St (who got off easy). What I see happening is nothing, the NCAA wont do anything because that would require them to do work.

This just makes another case to get rid of the NCAA altogether.
