Parakeet Jones Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Maybe every sweet 16 team will be implicated and the NIT champion will be recognized as the real national champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Upon reading the article and his career highlights, Avenatti looks like a hyena hunting for money and publicity/attention. He may have had legit info, but this is the wrong guy to make it public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergates Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 So Nike's play is hoping that Avenatti's arrest keeps him from releasing his damning info and/or discredits said info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what it looks like. Avanetti looks really bad now so anything he says may just be glossed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart move by Nike to claim extortion attempt. Knowing that fool, there's likely some truth to it...dumb move on his part. He's absolutely the wrong messenger and Nike used that against him is my guess. That being said, I hope if he really did have the dirt that it gets out in the public eye where it deserves to be.

Steubenhoosier Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Who knew that the Nike "Family" shirts being worn at this year's tournament were a reference to the Cosa Nostra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 This whole Avenatti thing is bizarre. Having him inserted into this is like an SNL skit where they combine two separate stories. I don't know how he got involved, but perhaps a whistleblower approached him. Now, you have the FBI arresting him. I'd be surprised if the FBI didn't have an open investigation on Nike that's under wraps. The corruption seems to be too ingrained into the culture for the FBI to think this is limited to Adidas. If the FBI is investigating, I wonder if they will go to a judge under seal to muzzle Avenatti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FBI could use reduced charges for Avenatti IF he provides accurate information that leads to illegal doings with Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Should have known as crazy as this scandal is getting, eventually, Avenatti would get inserted into the story somehow. You'd think by now he would have learned his lesson about chasing after stuff that's frankly, out of his league. I guess he took inventory of where he was, saw things were not looking good and tried to take one more swing at the fences to bail himself out of the financial mess he's in.
