[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 550493, member: 1776"] i believe both L'ville and Kansas have also filed for restitution. The interesting thing in these cases are that the defense and prosecution are almost flipped. The Prosecutors want to focus solely on whether the defendants have broken federal rules. The defendants are out to show that their actions are just part of normal recruiting and that they willingly broke NCAA rules, but that it was for the coaches, but that their actions did not constitute breaking any federal laws. The Feds want to keep things as tight as possible, the defendants want dirt flying all over the place. so you get battles like the first trial where the defendants want wiretaps played and documents shown and the prosecutors actually want them kept out of the trial. The prosecutors won the first round. But with the subpeona's it will be interesting if the judge is going to allow more wiretaps and other evidence be admitted for this trial than the first one. it puts the coaches that have to testify in a tight spot. They have said from the beginning they didn't pay anyone. that may be technically true, but they may have a harder time keeping out evidence that suggest they committed NCAA violations. it's one thing to make broad statements in front of press, its a whole other issue to say something like that under oath when there might be evidence that suggests otherwise. If evidence like that comes out they have a choice between potentially perjuring themselves or admitting to actions that could cost them their job. [/QUOTE]
