The documents tie some of the biggest names and programs in the sport to activity that appears to violate the NCAA’s amateurism rules. This could end up casting a pall over the NCAA tournament because of eligibility issues. (NCAA officials declined a request for comment.) There’s potential impermissible benefits and preferential treatment for players and families of players at Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan State, USC, Alabama and a host of other schools. The documents link some of the sport’s biggest current stars – Michigan State’s Miles Bridges, Alabama’s Collin Sexton and Duke’s Wendell Carter – to specific potential extra benefits for either the athletes or their family members. The amounts tied to all of the players in the case range from basic meals to tens of thousands of dollars.

Should those schools be worried?
Bama? UK?

A listing that refers to “BAM” for $12,000 is later identified in the documents as Edrice “Bam” Adebayo, who would go on to play at Kentucky in 2016-17. He did not sign with ASM. There’s a later reference to Adebayo that says he received $36,500. “Bad loan,” reads the document.

Agree, a meal is not a big deal and is why he was reinstated. But what about the rumored $100,000? Not in this article, so no worries? AAU is dirty and almost all players of this level maybe tainted. Why was the Bama associate AD fired?

As for Auburn, we withheld our players because of the money involved that was separate from this list.

Even this article seems like it barely scratches the surface.

I am also in complete agreement that the FBI has no business investigating this and whomever signed off on the investigation should be fired.

Me too. Seems like they should put their uses to far more important things and leave this to the NCAA. That said, I hope the agents get hammered.

Because he was involved in helping set everything up.
