Inb4 I’m sucking Eddie Vedder’s dick because I would. You all would.

He was at the NCAA 2 years ago. What is he going to admit that came up now that he did then? That just doesn't seem likely to me.

Maybe some inappropriate contact with questionable characters that are or might get caught up in this?

The only question is what did they find and does it involve his time at Bama.
We are all hoping so...

Seriously though, I’m with George in wanting a bunch of different teams to get burned. I just want to see what will happen.

With Auburn, we already sucked. It’s not like it’ll get much worse.

Like what? That doesn't make a lot of sense either.


He worked for the NCAA in basketball compliance. There are a ton of ways he could be involved that are bad for the sport but don't touch Bama, but the cold truth is right now we just don't know.

Or something he passed on or was involved in that he did not mention interviewing at Alabama that he thinks or knows will come out now?

Who knows. We certainly have no clue.

I am. Screen name is a nod and a play on Bruce Pearl, as I'm an AU basketball fan as well.

Man, I have GOT to catch them in Chicago at Wrigley. Seattle is also on the list. I’ve only seen them once, in 2014, in New Orleans. I didn’t get into them until around 2012-2013, so I’m late to the party, but they’ve quickly become my all-time favorite band. No idea how, as a musician myself, I missed out on these guys.

Yea - a show in Seattle is the bucket list.

I saw them at Grant Park jn Chicago for Lolla in 2006 I think? Maybe 2007. It was incredible.

They are as good as it gets. Still fantastic live.

I would love for some of the NCAA folks to get nailed. They have known this shite was going on. How many were getting kickbacks to look the other way?

Pretty sure this investigation began 3 years ago. I can think of quite a few scenarios, but don't want to speculate too much because some are worse than others. After yesterday's arrests, he may just want to get out ahead of everything.

I would expect no less

Hoops has been so dirty for so long, all any of us can do is hope our guys aren't in the worst parts of it. You can't live in that world at all and not get some mud on you.

They could shutdown our basketball program for a decade and it wouldn't bother me. So long as this thing doesn't touch football I am fine with whatever the FBI comes up with.

As far as I know it did, but it was with a financial advisor that the FBI busted on securities and wire fraud. I just don't see an NCAA connection where this would be connected in that way. Maybe so.

I'm wondering if he may have been mixed up with the Atlanta suit guy or something.
