FBI has uncovered a major cash bribery scam at several universities spreading across several sports, Wake Forest is one of the schools involved.
If they'd look closely, they discover that practically every D1 schools does things like this. Student athletes not actually taking classes, getting paid, etc. Its more common than some would imagine.

This is much weirder.

People bribing coaches to claim their talentless kids who can't get into college are being "recruited" as athletes to get them an admission exception. Why don't they just make a huge donation to the private university in question?

Felicity Huffman has been arrested, Lori Loughlin is on the lam. And Wake Forest volleyball is involved!?

And here I thought firing Danny Manning was the only priority for the AD 6 weeks before he formally takes the job. Oh, and firing the assistant basketball coach up on homicide charges in NYC while he's at it.

I really need some Canes playoffs to watch this year.

College sports is big business. One of the biggest. It's crooked all the Way around. I saw a lot of it firsthand when I was in school. Saw some really strange things. Like star athletes walking into a bar or club and people lining up to hand them cash. That one blew my mind. I had star athletes in my classes. They rarely showed up. Never handed in assignments, and made As without spending more than 2 or 3 minutes taking an exam. Always the 1st ones done and gone on test days.

Nooo... I'm sure if there was any circumventions or anything else fishy in the setup the boys would have been informed about it by their advisors.

Since this is literally the coolest place on these entire boards and everyone has a sense of humor I thought you guys would get a laugh at this one: in a thread on slowest skaters someone mentioned Jiri Lehtera. I replied "Cocaine is a helluva drug", which was clearly a joke referring to him getting busted in a gigantic cocaine distribution ring (which is a real thing that actually happened). It was deleted for being a drug reference. I'm not mad or anything, I just thought it was hillarious.
