This isn't the weak NCAA which was never given any power to try and prosecute those of which they supposedly governed.
Can't wait for the ashes as my shitty Husker hoops team is likely to be one of the few still standing.

The latest "hit" they took was total Bull Shit. They can't check out every mentally unstable person, its freaking impossible. There would be thousands of calls a day. The local police have a lot of explaining to do seeing that they were called dozens of times for that kid. I think most people don't realize that a good portion of the FBI force are accountants and auditors. They are not all guys with Tommy Guns and SWAT teams that's like the minority.
This kind of thing is right up their alley. That's why they are demonized by the politicians too. The kind of crimes they investigate are the kind the white collar criminals pull. People that can afford lawyers and PR. The funny thing is much of the general public can be fooled, so it works.
The one thing in common with all of these investigations. When people that most likely can never survive the "Klink" because they have had life easy are caught........those are the first to sing like birds. At that point its self preservation, people used to silk sheets and filet mignon have no shot in prison.....so they shit their pants and talk. That's the fact no one talks about.
They are taking hits from many investigations but the indictments are coming in like hot cakes. Innocent people don't react that way, the heat is on.
