Holy. Crap.

The soundtrack to the three federal basketball corruption cases is essentially a ticking time bomb, which will inevitably explode. It will impact every major conference, Hall of Fame coaches, a score of current top players and some of the nation’s most distinguished and respected programs.

“This goes a lot deeper in college basketball than four corrupt assistant coaches,” said a source who has been briefed on the details of the case. “When this all comes out, Hall of Fame coaches should be scared, lottery picks won’t be eligible to play and almost half of the 16 teams the NCAA showed on its initial NCAA tournament show this weekend should worry about their appearance being vacated.”

So how bad could be it? In terms of NCAA rules, multiple sources told Yahoo Sports that the material obtained threatens the fundamental structure and integrity of the sport, as there’s potentially as many 50 college basketball programs that could end up compromised in some way.

Saying prayers that doesn't happen.

By the time this is all over, DePaul will have several retroactive Big East and National Championships.

Same lol. I can't even imagine the reaction if Xavier is involved somehow. If I had to bet, St. John's or Seton Hall. The rest of the programs seem pretty squeaky clean.

If Butler is cheating at recruiting, they certainly do stink at it considering only they and DePaul have ranked 7th or worse every year in the 247 Big East recruiting rankings.

Blue bloods, Powerhouses, & Top 25 schools... guess that leaves most of the BE out of the running in this mess.

Nova & X regular top 25'ers.
StJ, Prov, SH recruiting well above their weight class.

(Both Gtwn n Marquette have lost their powerhouse label, and have been down for several years).

I don't think either of them are. But Seton Hall has already dipped their toe in the gray area once and St. John's had "Slice" plus made moves on tons of 5 star recruits (even if they didn't succeed.)
