And Arizona and Southern California, and possibly soon Louisville and Miami coaches too.
If apparel companies were doing this to gain product placement for basketball then when the FBI quits pulling on the thread of the basketball jerseys they are libel to find them attached to football jerseys as well.
This is going to be the tip of the iceberg and the unraveling is probably going to lead to top programs everywhere and across the various sports.
Companies like Russell have really suffered from the onslaught of Nike and Adidas and Under Armour made inroads very quickly in the South. If a major corporation bribes players to attend certain schools that is so far beyond local boosters paying players that such crimes pale in comparison by degree.
"Hey, I'm the Adidas rep in the area and if you want the nation's #1 prospect as a signee then you need to know that he is lined up with us and your school needs to represent our line and you'll get him! And just to show you what kind of good guys we are we'll funnel you some on the side too!"
It's just another representation of how organized crime tactics have taken over corporate America. But if you think this is bad just remember too big to fail.
We'll divide up mortgages into derivatives and sell parts of them everywhere so they become untraceable. It will inflate our balance sheets giving us more leverage with which to buy out smaller banks and increase our power. Even if we don't have the cash reserves to cover it we will have the credit to override our shortages. At least we can do that until.....other large banks overseas don't trust us and then "Oh #$%#!"
But thank God the politicians owe us for all of the PAC and Lobby money we've thrown their way. Sorry mortgage holders and taxpayers but "We're too big to fail!" So the banks get paid twice for one bill. The taxpayers cover the delinquent mortgages and then the banks still foreclose the properties and sell them later collecting the profits for themselves. The taxpayers are never repaid, the taxes remain on the books, and the crooks win because everyone at the government level profits from their graft.
So my question is why since government works the same way and is more important than sports are we starting with Adidas and Nike? Why not start with Goldman Sachs?
