Just curious what everyone's take is on the college hoops corruption scandal blowing up right now on the national scene...?
Adidas is in a little trouble over this... there is talk in some corners they may not survive this scandal. Thoughts on whether we lose our collegiate sponsor...?

Nike is in the crosshairs too. By the time this is all over there will be a whole lot of schools, programs, and people involved and going down.

Yeah, it would be naive to think Adidas is the sole guilty party. Perhaps I'm jaded from years of watching the NCAA do absolutely nothing about the open corruption, but I just don't see any real major change coming from this. People will (and have already been) be fired, fines will be levied, but I'm just not seeing college athletics as we know it changing.

The FBI is involved, though. People are straight up going to jail. |

I'm reminded of a separate corrupt organization, FIFA, and how the FBI's involvement did nothing to change how they do business. |
