If he was doing it at Louisville, he was when at Kentucky. Can they get in trouble for paying players that far back?
Inflation at 10000 %WOW. Just WOW. I. Am. Speechless. This man IS our Eddie Sutton. Never would have believed it.
I haven't seen evidence of what was said. Just hearsay from a sports agent...If they were wire tapping Gatto they have multiple phone conversations between him and "coach 2" recorded right before Bowen committed.

If you noticed, the meeting in paragraph 36e took place two months after the alleged phone calls involving Pitino and discussions about money. Nothing recorded, nothing even timely...Yeah, from reading through some of the document it looks like most of the recorded conversations involved one of the undercover agents recording a conversation they participated in. I didn't see any reference to conversations between uc agents and coaches.

You may be reading for evidence that even I'm not...I did notice that. Something else interesting is paragraph 33. It mentions a wiretap on Dawkins recording a conversation between Dawkins and father-2. In paragraph 36e Dawkins says he had a conversation with coach 2 about getting additional money for player 10’s family. Since there was a wiretap on Dawkins, they may have that conversation recorded even though it’s not stated so here.

It's possible that all evidence involving 3rd parties such as 'Coach 2' hasn't been disclosed. But I see no reason to publish less compelling evidence like hearsay when better evidence is available.
And unless you have good evidence, how can you credibly make accusations? Makes no sense unless that's your agenda...
Factually, Pitino did nothing more than work behind-the-scenes with adidas to land a blue chip recruit. If you're reading more into the federal filing than that, the evidence is lacking...Well that pretty much shows without a doubt (If the reports are correct and coach 2 is Pitino) Pitino was involved. If true what he’s done to our team and the University is unimaginable.
I wasn't saying YOU had any sort of agenda; I was speaking to others who might. The filing wasn't about Pitino, but people here act like the evidence against him was irrefutable.The fbi hasn’t made any accusations against coach 2, have they? Based on the press conference the fbi focus appeared to be on the 10 people arrested. Coach 2 is our (Louisville) focus. It appears they have plenty of credible info related to the people they charged in the document. We are just speculating on what might be out there on coach 2 based on how the document reads. They may not charge him with anything, but I assume whatever they do have will eventually make it into the NCAA’s hands, so we’ll know one way or the other. All I’m pointing out is that they had a tap on Dawkins, so who knows what they’ve recorded.
Almost a good defense.
The problem?
How many will turn on Pitino/Adidas, and be willing to testify that no one in the conspiracy expected that a 1099 or tax return would be filed. Or better, that Pitino knew they would not be?
Didn't Coach 2 say that discretion was a must, given that University 6 was already on probation (NCAA).
Sounds like "consciousness of guilt" is there for the federal taking.
That’s weird - every political story I’ve read the past week is either about the nfl or nba.You guys are on the wrong board. This is a sports forum, not a political discussion.
Looks like Pitino was discussing Rozier’s Adidas deal with Gatto.

He is, and right now not many believe him. I know I don't. Hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am.I guess he has nothing to lose at this point. He's putting all of his chips on the table and claiming he is innocent.
