From another site; on cheating specifics (rumor)

[volwarrior33]

It will be hard to trace, but the basketball program borrowed an old Orgeron technique. Here is the huge potential problem...the 8 million pound gorrilla. Deny if you'd like, but they were funneling money to recruits via AAU coaches through an out-of-state attorney with no ties to tennessee. Giove money to the lawyer, who gives it to a coach who gives it to a high-schooler. Brilliant. No pre-existing booster relationship. And attorney-client priviledge, to boot. Orgereon used it at USC and Ole Miss before taking it to Knoxville. UT football is in the cross-hairs on this, too, obviously. Pearl thought it was brilliant, until sitting face-to-face with Indianapolis. Orgeron hasn't been caught yet, so it has been impossible to prove, thus far. But there was a reason Bruce was crying in the presser!

The NCAA is finished with its UT baseball investigation. The reason they haven't announced an "all-clear" is because of the institutional control question. If baseball was a stand-alone issue, raleigh would have already had his hand slapped and it would be over. Instead, Todd has to wait and see what messes the NCAA can prove against Orgeron, Pearl and hammilton. By itself, UT baseball is a footnote.

I had not heard things this specific before, but I had heard of a Pearl/O connection. This is from the same poster who had a lot of inside details into the secondary violations.

Who knows?

Incoming NCAA president Mark Emmert supports harsher penalties for rules violators - ESPN

New NCAA President wants harsher penalties? Not great.

Sorry, that seems a little far fetched. We know from experience that college kids are not good at hiding the perks they receive (cars, houses, jobs, etc.), so I can't imagine that a bunch of high school kids (and their parents and their AAU coaches and their teammates) could keep a lid on that kind of thing for very long.

So, Nuke had already spent all of his money?

[SpringBokVol]

Sadly, I believe this.

[Volsurance]

Of course I say that while

What the heck does baseball have to do with anything?

[Tampavolz]

Evidently we 'cheaped out' on Selby

If we are playing payers, we aren't doing a very good job of it.

I told Pearl that two krystals and a coke just wouldn't get him to sign! Even if the change came from a lawyer. He would not believe me.

Do we get any money back on Negedu? Do we need a receipt?

@wesrucker Kind of nervous about the basketball situation. Is there any comfort on the horizon, or is it about to get much worse. Heard both

@shot0fclarity08 I don't know. Depends on who you talk to. Think more people at UT are nervous than aren't. Depends how much is uncovered. And you just don't lie to the NCAA and get away with it.
