Long way to go before the dust settles on this mess.

Apparently the FBI is treating the programs involved as victims of a scandal but when the NCAA gets their turn I doubt they'll see it the same way.

IMO, the moral of the story will be that unlawful cheating is and will always be systemic to amateur sports where billions of dollars are involved. The stakes are too high to not be cheating.  

Only winner in all this is the NBA D-League.

I shudder to think of what might've gone wrong if Pitino had been hired by Michigan before he ended up Louisville. Kind of fitting that his career ended against Michigan in the tournament, especially with it being a rematch of the 2013 Championship Game. There's some speculation that Crean or Matta could replace Pitino, at least on an interim basis, which would be intriguing.

Of course, apparently there's more to come, and it will be interesting to see what the NCAA does in the aftermath.

Yep. Looks like I spoke to soon. 
Bama had a staff person "resign" after he confessed to being an unnamed person in the FBI report. 
Not sure what this means for bama or current player. Though at least one current freshman mentioned in connection.

Three of the counts in the indictment that I scanned were for 'fraud' related charges.   One was wire fraud conspiracy, and two other counts were for 'wire fraud'. 
If the government can show the Defendant's offered $$ (using the 'wires') to these athletes in exchange for something of value (commitment to school/agents/advisers) and concealed said payments, then yes.   The Fraud, in turns out, is against the school (oddly enough).  As the schools could suffer economic or tangible harm (NCAA sanctions) by allocating scholarships to athletes who are ineligible as a result of the bribe payments.  The defendants further (an argument) deprived the School of right to control the allocation of limited scholarships, because of the bribe.
