From the sporting news...NCAA is not going to have final say on what is "appropriate" in cleaning this up. Just like the NCAA can or may not accept self imposed sanctions from schools for cheating, the NCAA now has the shoe on the other foot and Congress is going to see if what the NCAA does is adequate to clean up the sport. NCAA has already proven it can not regulate basketball, if it whitewashes this it will be just further proof and they will be inviting the government to step in.

The investigation into the pay-for-play scandal that has rocked the college basketball world this week has just gotten a little bigger.
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has contacted the NCAA and involved companies mentioned in the recent FBI probe to request they inform them of their plan moving forward.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has legislative jurisdiction on matters related to telecommunications, consumer protection, food and drug safety, public health research, environmental quality, energy policy, and interstate and foreign commerce.
Schools so far involved in the FBI probe have reportedly been identified as Arizona, Auburn, Louisville, Oklahoma State, USC. Other schools that have either self-reported issues or simply reported they are also being investigated include Alabama and Miami (Fla.).
Louisville coach Rick Pitino and athletics director Tom Jurich were effectively fired Wednesday amid the investigation. Oklahoma State assistant Lamont Evans, who spent 2012-16 with Frank Martin at South Carolina, was fired for cause on Thursday.
Adidas has been primarily identified as one of the companies involved in the probe, while Nike was subpoenaed Wednesday.
Adidas-sponsored University of Kansas told the Associated Press Thursday it is conducting an internal review of the program. The school recently agreed to a $191 million deal with the athletic apparel company but associated athletic director Jim Marchiony told the AP nobody implicated in the investigation was part of negotiating the 14-year-deal. The fourth-largest shoe and apparel deal in the NCAA has yet to be signed and could change following the FBI’s college hoops investigation.
