Also, I find it preposterous that Kansas is asking for $1.1 million in restitution when they have likely benefited from this scheme to the tune of much more. But hey, I guess they must think asking for restitution must make them look more innocent. And Louisville is asking for money. LOUISVILLE! What world are we living in?

Seeking6 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Sort of off topic but semi related. Federal Guidelines dictate about 90% of sentences that judges have. While they have discretion to go lower or higher than those ranges they usually fall in those to a T. My question or concern is this. If a judge sentences these guys based on a certain $ amount because of loss to Kansas, NC State, Louisville (which is a joke by the way) what impact will that have in the future when players/Bilas of the world say the scholarship represents nothing. Here you have a federal judge (potentially) saying it's worth X and we sentence you to this because I believe it's worth X. Small detail I know but this is pretty important for down the road conversations. My guess is this judge goes lower than suggested guidelines. Plus with First Step Act....nonviolent drug or fraud type crimes....a very good chance these guys could be eligible for halfway house or home detention much sooner.

Judge went lower. 9 months, 6 and 6 for these 3. Thing about Fed System is any sentence under 1 year and a day it's not eligible for good time release/credit so they'll do the full sentence....but halfway house/home detention could allow them to get home after a 4-5 months.

Hoosierhoopster Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 One of Gatto’s attorneys told the jury in closing that Gatto approved payments to player families at the request of coaches, including Bill Self. Sean Miller is being subpoenaed by Dawkins’ atty to testify in April. This is all still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terms like street fight might sell some clicks/papers but I have a hard time taking a former prosecutor in Detroit seriously who decided to make sure his first priority was to tell the world Michigan St wouldn't pay for Bowen. I'm not a rocket scientist but not hard to put 2 and 2 together. Shield his buddy and his alma mater... Again. Hopefully something good will come of this but put me in the doubtful category.

I put those 2 together. No article did. I'm just saying when news broke of this whole story the first things out of Haney's mouth was MSU didn't pay what Bowen wanted,etc....look a little further and you find that Haney helped Magic's Euro team. I live in a world where a guy from Detroit who worked for Sparty's most famous alumni, helped his Euro team get started and said that about Sparty not paying.....let's just say I don't believe in coincidences.
