Kansas should've always been the poster child of the FBI scandal. The media and ESPN chose to make it about Arizona instead. This does not mean that Arizona will get the hammer dropped on them. Kansas coach Self was on wire tap talking to Adidas about them helping land players. Miller was not on any tapes played in court regardless of what the Fake news network claims.

Don't like the sound of this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamzagoria/2019/09/23/after-kansas-receives-ncaa-notice-of-allegations-louisville-other-schools-expected-to-be-next/
I have no inside info but reading the tea leaves... I would expect a notice of allegations before Nov 5. I would expect Zona to take 90 days to respond and to fight it tooth and nail. Self-punishing did nothing for Louisville. No incentive to play ball with the NCAA. Either way the Cats are cutting nets down in April! We gots ta.
One man's opinion does not determine anything! If there was anything major coming CSM would not be here. Between the FBI,the school, and the ABOR, there were three separate investigations in which the school knows the results. CSM is still here! That tells me that this guys story is BS!
I know that there were eligibility issues at the targeted schools. Name them.
NC State
Kansas
Auburn
USC
LSU
Louisville.
That is 6!
Not saying we won't get something, but I could see a MAJOR legal issue for the NCAA if they "hammer" Arizona. The school did not handle everything with Grace, but they acted quickly. Those other schools have been violating the rules for long periods of time and that is a huge factor. Plus, to this day, there has been no proof that any player was paid at Arizona.
Not gonna rehash this every time an opinion piece comes out. Fake news is real, but it is not true!
The NCAA doesn't have sufficient time to thoroughly investigate Arizona, especially if they plan to reduce scholarships or add a postseason ban for THIS year.
We're still on track for probation...i couldn't imagine anything further because there is no evidence towards Miller. Phelps and Book are both gone, unlike Townsend at KU.
Despite ESPN's preference, Kansas is now the poster-child of the investigation. All eyes have shifted from Arizona (for now).
Seems like Kansas is telling the NCAA to take a hike with its prove it statement. I believe Arizona will be fine as long as Arizona takes a stand for itself. The ABOR will be there too. The PAC will likely now to the NCAA because they see Arizona as the trash of the conference under the direction of LS.
The NCAA is WAY out of control yet seeks to control the schools? This organization needs to go away!

ESPN had the BS Miller story. Yahoo Sports had everyone else and that was the real story. Kansas and the Adidas schools definitely should have been the poster child. I think/hope KC is right and we only end up with probation and maybe a loss of a couple schollies. That seems fair given the evidence and considering Book's situation.
The ADIDAS representation burned them. I'd laugh if assu ends up in the crossfire because their runners/agents leaked everything to avoid jail time. Baffling that Kansas renewed their sponsorship with those backstabbing jerks. Haha.
FESPN ran the story that supposedly had Miller paying Ayton 100g. But there never has been any evidence that it was true. No telephone conversion on the wire taps, no hard evidence was ever shown in court. They have Book taking 20g's and talking big in an attempt to get more money. No evidence that Book gave any of those dollars to any players. There is lies the main difference between Arizona and Kansas. Hard evidence. Will we get punished for Book - yes we will. Will it be a level one for failure to control. Certainly a possibility. Will we lose post season eligibility. Doubtful. I still believe that we will lose scholarships and be put on probation for probably three years. But again this is the NCAA so who knows but there is much worse hard evidence out there on numerous schools that need to be and should be dealt with first.

The length of the matter does matter. Most of those programs I mentioned had a long term violation occurring and yet Kansas basically denies it by saying prove it. It was proven from what I have seen, but it remains to be seen. However Arizona reacted quickly to fix the problem so the violation woul not be a level one type of infraction. That going by the NCAA rules as they are
Notice how Little Dickie Vitale went silent.
This says a lot considering who said it.
