With Markelle Fultz being named for getting $10,000, I wonder if Romar's name will come up also?

So much for the 100k Bowen supposedly got. This does not clear us, but certainly does not put us in the spotlight. Still due to wire tap laws, most of the original info was aquired illegally and may not be able to be used. Question I have is where does this involved national security, or terror related events? No school shootings or security issues which the FBI is reaponsible for. This is kind of out of their jurisdiction. So like with Trump, this is all hog wash stuff the FBI is doing.

Agreed!

Wire fraud, racketeering, money laundering, coordinated coruption. I'd say this is definitely in the FBI's jurisdiction. Time for big changes at the NCAA. Mark Emmert pretending to be shocked has gotten old, college sports being dirty has been the worst kept secret in the world. EVERYBODY knew this was happening, it's time to just let the free market determine these kids' value and drop the BS amateurism stuff. The cat is out of the bag and there will be no way to go back to the way things were.

This is HUGE!  All of the players named should be ineligible immediately, this could get ugly!!

Guess which team name is not in this picture 😁 Not gonna lie, I was worried we'd be named again somehow when all this came out, WOW, JUST WOW! Finally, the blue blood's day has come!


Fultz getting paid while at Washington could be the only real thing that we might want to pay more attention with Romar now being with us

I love that Utah is also on the list!

Great we weren't named but neither was Lousiville and we know the FBI has Book on tape talking about our guys. No need to celebrate just yet but with the Big 4 being named  I'd say it softens the blow to Zona a bit in recruiting at least it should.

Yes, but that was technically illegal of the FBI to do that. Same as with Trump! Corruption is everywhere and that includes the FBI and the NCAA. Just not sure which one is dirtier or if it even matters. Between those facts and the fact that the PAC has traditionally treated Arizona like the red headed step child is was and is, along with Scott's total hate for Arizona, I wouldn't be surprised by much of anything Arizona athletics right now. I am a big supporter of at least applying for membership in the Big 12. Show that we expect more. Big 12 sucks, but it is what it is. That alone would bring a lot of attention to the facts. If nothing changes Arizona will never get to the next level and sustain it. That would only eliminate the PAC 12 issues, but it would be a good start. I was also hoping for the power 5 to break away from the ncaa when it came up recently. Did not happen. Maybe Trump can clean up the FBI and that would certainly help.

Lol I'm not touching the Trump part, that dude is a moron. Back to the Cats, I have considered what it would look like for Zona to switch conferences and I'm not sure it would make sense. If we go to the Big12 we will lose our foothold on the West coast recruits. They wont play in front of their families and traveling SUCKS to the truck stops that make up the towns the universities of the Big12 are located in.

The FBI had an informant, that isn't illegal and it would be foolish to think this all just goes away and our program will get off scott free. They have Book dead to rights, Book is playing the good soldier and hasn't allowed them to confirm he gave any of the money that was intended for the players to them. There are other ways we could be implicated and if the FBI starts interviewing former players all bets are off. Players making millions aren't gonna mess with the FBI to save their college program some face.

Here's another one related to the yahoo one.

Still don't see anything on any specific current or former players, or mention of UA at all for that matter. Unless I've missed something while skimming around on my short lunch time
