Clemson Named in FBI Wiretap

[Thats Mr. Prophet to you]

Matt Norlander tweeted at 12:55 -

"Clemson Football was also discussed via wiretap by Clemson basketball asst coach Steve Smith like this, in relation to Zion hoops recruitment: "That's why football is so successful, is if you do it and use resources at Clemson, like you can really keep everything tight."

Don't know how to tag a tweet, look it up if you so desire. Either way, Clemson was cheating for Zion and this dude knows football is cheating as well. NCAA will probably do nothing.

You can bet your last dollar the NCAA will do nothing with this. But still, it’s a step in the right direction of Clemson Football possibly getting exposed someday. Doubt it ever happens...but a few more of these kinds of guys who are thrown to the wolves while football is protected...and who knows? That and disgruntled former players...

One can hope.

 

[be cocky]

the coaches can’t be blamed for rogue bagmen can they?

 

[classof95#]

Reverse psychology, i hope it works

The NCAA doesn't have the authority or the courage to stand up to Clemson athletics.

Not so fast my friend. Looks like ole OSaban Bin Lying at Bama maybe under the gun as well.

Martin Blazer testified on Tuesday he paid football players from Pittsburgh, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Alabama and North Carolina.

LOL at the Big Tenners calling the SEC cheats.

I went to high school with Steve Smith. That said, he would become my all-time favorite if he brings down Clemson football.

Quite simply, Varys has more balls than does the NCAA.

 

[GCDC1959]

Clemson basketball might bring down Clemson football......the irony.

LOL! Clemronites are well known for their strange 'bed fellows'.

 

[Blackland]

Sure they are probably cheating, but can it be proven? If it can be proven does the NCAA care enough to do anything about it?

We obviously suck at cheating in college sports.

Where does it say “ we cheat “
I see taters cheating which is well known

Everyone cheats. It's just a matter of how good you are at it, and whether or not you get caught.

Maybe and maybe not.
Not saying all schools do not do things behind the scenes that may not be up and up
I do not think all schools have their players using “ ostarine” etc. plus does every school use churches or other resources to go buy players
No idea
Point was I do not see info about “ us “ cheating

I believe his point was more that we are cheating (maybe not as strenuously as others), but we suck at the little we do because we have nothing to show. Unlike others.

 

[SILVERSPUR-rier]

the coaches can’t be blamed for rogue bagmen can they?

Nor can they be blamed for donations to a church's building fund, or alumni buying car washes for well over fair market value....

 

[radcock]

I am 99.99% certain that we try to cheat.

 

[robertfootball]

Newspring will make a nice campaign donation to the right politicians and this will go away.

Now wait a minute...who's wearing a suit to games in Clemson that's not named Dan Radakovich,

 

[CCUIrmo]

If Clemson was a.500 football team then NCAA would tear them apart but being that they are too dog right now, NCAA will ignore it. Once UNC got away with fake classes I knew NCAA was worth squat and had no backbone. This will not be mentioned again although I would love nothing more. However if it comes out there are a few people I work with that will be intolerable because they will scream and tell nothing is going on and pitch fits daily. It will be fun fir a bit to watch but then they will try to turn it into how saint dabo is innocent and nothing ever goes wrong up there.

 

[radcock]

Don't forget that we had a couple players mentioned. As I said when this came out originally....this is going to explode college basketball.

Dabo will sweep this away, but he may have to lie about it somewhere other than just in front of the media.

I guess this means that clemson's basketball program will be looking for some new coaching hires soon.

BTW, its blowing up the internet.

This is it. Clemson and Alabama (and all the other big programs) are untouchable because of the money they bring in. NCAA can't kill off their cash cows.

Unless the NCAA wants to make a point to other more established programs against a relative newcomer. They did come down on TOSU and Penn State pretty damned hard and they are programs with a ton more history...and power.

 

[jimnasium]

It's not cheating anymore if the NCAA ignores it .

 

[anon_n4c0cp5zhdxn7]

Only chance of busting them is if one of the coaches snitch, to save their ass. NCAA can't do anything with hearsay or rumors.

It'll be very interesting to see if the media has the cohones to question Dabo about it. I'm sure he already has a prepared rant, just in case.

How is Clemson a cash cow to the NCAA? They aren't Notre Dame, Michigan, Alabama, Penn State, TOSU or more historically relevant programs....they are a newcomer, an interloper if you will.

 

[jimnasium]

Why the wire tap anyway who were the Feds targeting?

 

[rogue cock]

Criminal fraud in college basketball.

 

[coolcock2001]

Well I’ve certainly seen enough here to be convinced. Burn the program to the ground

 

[jimnasium]

Oh then let's hope they get two for one out of the investigation.

Oh, you know he's ready. There will be a planted question, and St Dabo will start with, "I can't believe I have to answer this question..."

 

[coolcock2001]

The NCAA won't do jack so the state itself needs to take matters into its own hands. Come on Governor McMaster, do the right thing and pull the plug on this rogue institution

 

[Orange Valley]

LOL at you men, nothing to see here on hearsay, no cheating going on. When you win you don't have to cheat. Players come to you.

New Spring, we've been waiting for years for someone to prove anything with New Spring that is going on and no one can or has.

Keep hoping someone else can beat Clemson for you.
