[QUOTE="GT_EE78, post: 584762, member: 3434"] The CBS articles certainly are salacious,condemning and point to widespread cheating but usage of "unnamed" and "anonymous" sources dings the credibility. All is possible but i don't see anything there that the FBI or NCAA could use in an investigation. "Where there's smoke, there's fire" is a good analogy in many cases but that's because there's no other alternative but fire to produce the smoke. In college recruiting SA's could be getting paid but it's nearly equally likely they just choose the schools because the coach has a rep for getting kids to the NBA and playing in the NCAAT. I don't think this analogy is applicable to the college recruiting scandal. I consider myself rational and don't have any problem believing that Zion and family could forego $100K now, knowing that the multi-million paycheck was coming in a year. If the family was hard up for cash he could have gotten a loan or played overseas. Duke did buy him insurance that would have paid out about 8 Mil if injury occured. For Zion (OAD) , the chance to play for a NC was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I agree with what you've said about clear evidence being difficult to nearly impossible to obtain. I'm always skeptical when anyone suggests that "lack of evidence" proves something. I'm as pissed off as anyone else that Az/LSU coaches remain employed. (NCAA/UNC = LOL) I don't doubt that cheating occurs and was leaning toward believing it massive when the story broke. The primary reason that i became more skeptical about the degree of this cheating is because at the trials, defense attorneys had an open door to subpoena SA and family records, bank statements etc in order to prove the coaches and school involvement. I'm glad they nailed the ones convicted plus wiretap exposures but i expected a lot more than what came out. thought defense really underwhelmed. Maybe the FBI has turned over things to the NCAA that we don't know about yet. I'm not going to complain if my skepticism is proven wrong when the NCAA gets around to doing their investigation.
