The FBI's Version of March Madness Is Insane

After last fall's arrest of four assistant coaches from four different schools, who's actually shocked that more shoes are about to drop?

How long will it be before the big names start appearing?

FBI probes work from the outside in. Dudes begin by interviewing those on the periphery of whomever they're targeting and gradually close in. That's how they encircled and nabbed the assistant coaches, and that's what they're doing now.

 

With conference title tournaments in the immediate offing, who knows if the timing of that Yahoo report is coincidental?

It's clear, though, that universities themselves have had ample opportunity to clean their own houses, but not much has happened for whatever reason.

As will a host of the sport's biggest brands, from Kentucky to Duke, Michigan State to Texas, and all points in between.

This could make Selection Sunday much more dramatic since it's odds-on that more than one committee will be doing the selecting.

 

Apparently so.

Turns out they weren't.
