another great job of vetting. Something(one) must change in the AD. -
Maybe not. But maybe. The allegations in the criminal case took 2-3 years to be indicted. Was there anything to discover before UC signed Kriisa? We might never know. It's potentially not a good look for UC but could also be just bad timing. The allegations apparently occurred while playing at WVU. No mention of UC as far as I know.Originally posted by leo from jersey View PostComment

I understand, but I doubt if he was vetted in detail. These guys are getting big money so they need good vetting. If they had found out what he did before UC, why would they want Him? Wait they may have known about BS at Indy and still took him. Good players are hard to come by.Originally posted by London 'Cat View Post
when you are paying 7 figures, a professional vetting is needed.Comment

Via Matt Jones of KSR:
"The FBI is charging Kerr Kriisa with a $2.2 million dollar scheme that included creating fake personas, claiming his mother had chancer, his family was losing its farm and scamming individuals out of money."
He is NOT charged with point shaving / there are no gambling-related charges.Comment

Well I 'm certainly glad that he wasn't charged with any betting related charges. That would be a very disastrous look for UC considering the BS fiasco.Comment
