It's Adidas, one of the others charged besides the coaches was one James Gatto, director of sports marketing for that company.

IMO the most corrupt sport there is is men's college basketball. Lots of coaches and officials LOVE to gamble. This could get interesting.

I ran into politics in high school football. Turns out the high school basketball coach could not select the best players. First, he had to take the football players that the football coach wanted to play on the team.

On Mike Francesca's WFAN show in NYC yesterday, he said ...
when the story broke on radio/tv earier in the day Francesca said he called a few top head coaches that he knew asking what's what. He said that 1-2 of them told him that law enforecment was originally going after some financial guy on Wall Street which was unrelated to sports.
When this Wall Street guy got arrested, he asked for a plea deal, saying he had a blockbuster type of story to tell, hoping for a break in his sentencing.
The financial guy then laid out this entire college basketball scandal that we heard about yesterday... schools, coaches, agents, Adidas, kick backs, money laundering, the works.
One of the insiders told Francesca that coaches throughout the country knew something big was happening over a year ago and they knew their phones were being tapped as well.
