Who are the wrong people and who are the right people to get hurt in this? To my mind, anyone that has been taking illicit payments, not reporting the income, cheating the system, and talking about "I will always bleed Orange and Green, but I gotta take care of my family" is a problem. Even more so, anyone steering a kid to make decisions about their future based on what is best at the moment for some adult and not the best long-term interests of the individual student-athlete deserves to pay a price.

Institutionalized cheating and corruption does not have innocent participants, no matter the socioeconomic background they may come from. Obviously, it's easy to understand the temptation and the difficulty these kids come from, but the families and others around them need to stop being excused for considering their son or nephew or cousin or player as a winning lottery ticket.

What I hope for, is that South Florida's elite HS athletes will stop making the most important decisions of their lives based on a quick up front payment that really doesn't benefit them, rather than choosing a school for how it will develop and market their talents and for how it will prepare them for adulthood. Cleaning up the sleazy bag game and system of corrupt HS coaches and runners in SoFla, or even just exposing it to the light of day, can only help.

Even if that means that a few poor moms and dads who sold their child's future for a bag of cash have to pay a price.

I'm sorry, but I'm not crying for Benedict Arnold.

This is the correct viewpoint

Ill just say this

Social Media is a MF. Pretty much every single major D1 recruit is followed by Federal agents on social media. They have a track record of social media post that show recruits flashing big money or expensive cars. Their family members, friends, HS coaches, and Handlers are also being watched.
 
You have to believe there is some tangible evidence. Tunsil can’t be the only one who sent texts asking for money. If not just put the screws to one of these handlers. They don’t have anybody’s interests but themselves in mind. The kid no longer has any value to them, they’ll flip in a heartbeat.

Stay safe out there, brother! I worked close with DEA when I was out there with my Spec Ops unit. We also partnered with 3rd/7th Special Forces Group as they were our HQ for the CJSOTF (I was with MARSOC). Best of luck hunting those Nexus targets.

Are you part of the Fed? or contracting?

I would be shocked if there is any real evidence of top college coaches/staffs explicitly suggesting boosters bribe a recruit or his family. As I've mentioned in previous threads, the "bags" have gotten much more sophisticated over the years - we're rarely talking about hard monetary exchanges these days; bags are now leased cars, non-profit jobs and sibling scholarship offers.

The Feds + IRS are going to have to prove either money laundering and/or tax evasion took place in order to go after the boosters. I just don't see how they can do that with the way the laws are currently written and the way the boosters are handling these transactions. The Alabama car situation is the most tangible example of these - unethical? Yes. Illegal per NCAA or federal laws? Not really.

It's very simple on the "tax evasion" side.

Recipient side - was the income reported (see, generally, any movie or TV show about Al Capone).

Payor side - money was given...let's say the person was super-generous to the government and did not report it as a "business deduction". OK, then it should have been reported on a gift tax return. It's still tax evasion.

And once people start to face jail terms, they will start to talk about "who asked them" to make the payments.

It looks like a lot of things are coming together and the dots are going to connect.
The rebel rags story, the Tunsil thing, the LSU thing,
The basketball operation. But the most damage imo as far as an investigating component has to be the SAT dude at IMG and that celebrity bombshell.
I posted that the dude can’t be the only one doing it. Nerds hang out with other nerds. Nerds love money just like anyone.
Nerds don’t like being questioned by cops. It’s like France.
Also I wouldn’t be surprised if the lacrosse and soccer coaches got the idea of doing such shenanigans form football and basketball coaches.
And finally the Singer dude in charge of that fake charity can’t be the only one doing it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the celebrities shopped around to see what guy gave them the best option.
The Feds are probably asking them “so is singer the only guy you contacted”.
Remember this Singer guy turned himself in with the quickness and began cooperating from the jump.
The story has a lot of legs.

There's a possibility that you may not hear anything in the news. But people need to stop trying to tie the NCAA and the federal government together, thinking they operate under the same umbrella.

The government first and foremost wants its money. Exchanging large sums of cash while the government doesn't get its share is a big no-no.

If this investigation does happen, the IRS isn't going to turn a blind eye. Not only are they going to hammer the parties involved hard, that penalty fee is going to hurt.

How do they take down drug operations. It's very simple, a **** SNITCH. Same applies here. The families are going to tell one thr boosters plus the feds already have a few boosters that they already flipped for whatever reason
