The FBI conducted an elaborate undercover operation, starting in 2015, and managed to keep it a secret. The NCAA wasn't made aware of the investigation until Tuesday morning. Using wiretaps, surveillance video, undercover agents and cooperating witnesses, the FBI was able to document coaches accepting bribes to steer their players to certain financial advisers and/or business managers. In other cases, high-ranking Adidas employees worked with others to pay prospective student-athletes' families to ensure the players signed with Adidas-sponsored schools and then signed with Adidas once they turned pro, the complaint alleges.
Nail the fucks to the wall, distribute the confiscated funds and fines to the affected players.

I think fans of some of the top college programs have suspected something weird was going on with Adidas. I'm sure you can find several examples of 4- or 5-star recruits over the past few years passing on a Kentucky, UNC or UCLA type program and picking a random second-tier school for their "one and done" year...and oftentimes the recruit hadn't even listed that school in their top 3.

This is the feds looking into things with threat of prison time. Dominoes are going to fall over a long period of time.
