Davis implys that Whitford if clean is the only one of 4 coaches working together for 10 yrs not to be mentioned by the FBI. Davis per usual is trying to rub BSU's name in the dirt probably to be certain no Butler recruit would ever consider us. Davis is a douche and yes this is another stab at BSU.. Sadly this one has validity

Now if it were Pete Lembo.... He would write an article saying how Ball State gives Lembo no help but yet the perfect Lembo does all the right things while riding a glitter farting unicorn

I always thought Whit’s connections to Arizona would bleed over into our recruiting.
Little did I know that our iTunes and McDonald’s gift cards were competing against $100G’s ☹️

Also, it's a small point, but Davis's factual inaccuracies only help stir things up. For example, he says “when Miller got head coaching jobs at both Xavier and Arizona, his first task was to walk into Whitford’s office and tell him to get some boxes, because they were BOTH on the move,” this is wrong. Whitford wasn’t on his original Xavier staff. It makes it sound like they were a lot closer all those years. Whitford did however move from X to Az with him.

Is this whole FBI probe going to be the impetus behind the Power 5 conferences breaking away from the NCAA?

Davis could have written basically the same column about Archie Miller, who spent two years as a fellow assistant of Whitford at Arizona, was lauded as a recruiting star during that time and, you know, is actually related to Sean and probably has more knowledge about how his brother works than anybody.
But, he chose to raise speculation about the actions of his friend Whitford at good ol' BSU.
I guess better to shit the bed where only a few people might get irate than where you're likely to piss off most of the state.

They all freaking cheat if you go by the rule book. I know as a coach and a guy who was involved with bigger AAU programs. It is a cess pool. The NCAA picks and chooses who to punish to make it look like they are doing something. It used to be coaches would hide behind the big alumni who would pay big dollars to kids. The coaches would basically say take care of the kid and I don’t want to know about it. It still goes on but now the money is larger with the sneaker companies and the agents. UCLA and John Wooden had the dirtiest program of their era and everyone new. John Wooden was so respected by most that everyone looked the other way. I have nothing personal against Coach Whitford but to think he does not know or was not involved in the shenanigans that was and is going on in his time at Xavier and Arizona is nuts. I do agree with you all as this is a hit piece by Davis.

Yea it used to be Boosters and while some of that still goes on the stakes have been raised and now its AAU/Shoes/agents. Im sure there are still and will always be 100 dollar handshakes but boosters are not much of a concern anymore
