NCAA is fricked
"The federal government's investigation into sports companies and basketball coaches at numerous colleges across the nation is extremely troubling and puts into serious question the NCAA's ability to oversee its own institutions," the statement reads. "In addition to any criminal activities, these allegations raise concerns about the effects of these predatory schemes on your athletes and how hidden financial connections between advertisers and endorsers influence young consumers.

In the ESPN article the middle man who connected the guy that took a plea with the coaches and players also talked about all his clients that were football players in his suit store. Some football programs may need to be concerned about these players knowing this guy before the draft.
I think it may not end with just basketball

Of course they are. Just like when McCain was so worried about boxing. Anything to avoid doing their job while also giving the false appearance they're protecting Americans from ourselves.

I think the frame that sports writers have put on this regarding the NCAA is wishful thinking. The NCAA doesn't have the power to control all of this. It's not a law enforcement body and as a regulatory body it's powers are extremely weak when it comes to anything proactive -- basically they have no proactive powers, only after the fact powers and even those are limited as hell (I mean they basically have to take what's handed to them and rely on people talking - they can't even subpoena).
As much as folks want to blame the NCAA, they don't want to give them the powers to actually police this on a scale that would have to happen and even if NCAA powers were expanded, they'd have no authority of the AAU circuit and the apparel makers that have corrupted basketball so much. If the Feds, congress, or anyone else want college basketball cleaned up to an acceptable level it starts by taking aim at AAU and the apparel makers and that's an area where the NCAA has zero authority.

At this point since everybody is dirty af, I vote we all get to keep all our dirty players eligible. Especially Mustapha Herron and Austin Wiley who took money to basically leave school instead of to come to school

Is this an issue in European soccer?

I don't know if anybody seen the Coach Cal 30 for 30. There was an AAU guy that was telling AAU players where to go college. If I remember correctly, that was when Cal was at Memphis. This isn't anything new. NCAA turned their cheek and now it's going to bite them in the arse.

Well Congress is certainly the experts on corruption! Never stop learning is their motto.

Attention diversion since they can't get a reasonable health care plan or tax plan passed.

Members of Congress just want to know how/why they did not get their piece of the pie. It's crazy how many people get elected to public office and walk out multi-millionaires.
