To say that this is going to be a very big deal is a huge understatement. Unfortunately, I think it will effect and splatter on every major college basketball program even us and the program is completely above board. . All schools may be forced into doing an internal investigation.
These charges come out of the Federal Court in NYC. Don't think that Federal Prosecutors in districts around the country aren't contacting NYC to find out about schools in their areas or are being provided information about local schools by the NYC.
There was a statement to the effect that "corruption in college basketball has long been rumored" because of the huge amounts of money being thrown around by shoe companies. This part appears to be about Addidas money, who has been trying to protect market share against Nike, Under Armour and others.
The NCAA says it may perform it's own investigation. My guess is that information will be unearthed by the Feds showing that the NCAA knew or should have known about corruption and chose do ignore or do nothing about it. March Madness alone is worth millions. The NCAA never knew about the investigation until announcement of the charges. There was a reason for that.
