NCAA president Mark Emmert confirmed Wednesday that investigations are underway based on information gathered by federal authorities in the college basketball corruption scandal, but those investigations aren’t likely to be resolved during the 2018-19 season.
“This whole incident has cast a very bad light on college basketball and we need to deal with it as effectively as we can,” Emmert told reporters . “We’re not going to have everything wrapped by the Final Four because these trials are still going to be going on.”
Emmert asserted that his organization has “the manpower and the willpower” to tackle this sprawling scandal, but he also cautioned that the association is still more of a spectator in some aspects of the wide-ranging case.
Thus it seems that schools implicated so far would not be prevented from competing in this season’s NCAA tournament by any NCAA sanctions. While the premise of the No. 2-ranked Jayhawks, or any other implicated school, winning a national title could further cast a pall over the sport, there might not be anything NCAA enforcement could do to prevent it from happening.
Action taken by individual schools in response to the scandal has been barely perceptible. Kansas suspended forward Silvio De Sousa after testimony that his guardian was paid by an Adidas bag man to secure his commitment to the Jayhawks.
That’s about it. Otherwise, the schools have stayed the course in terms of any public sanctions or suspensions of implicated players and coaches.
“We need to make sure that schools are fulfilling their role and holding everybody accountable,” Emmert said. “But the NCAA as an association of member schools is built upon the notion of collaboration and collegiality, and there’s a notion among the schools that they will all hold themselves accountable. So to the extent that doesn’t happen, I think all of the members are not happy with that.”
