I suspect the memorandums are flying by administrators telling everyone under them they have not and will never participate in payments to athletes and if they do they are acting alone.

Consider being one of the apparel companies who are obviously involved. Do you have your attorneys contact the FBI and open your books or do you just hope and pray you catch a break and fall between the cracks? How do you move forward with your business plan knowing you are catching a federal case if you get caught? The intrigue of all of the decisions needing to be made in a very short period of time is really amazing. Going to be a great several weeks/months/ years on this one.
