ESPN's Chicago radio program Waddle & Silvy had Yahoo! Sports' Charles Robinson on the show Wednesday morning, and after some talk of the Jim Tressel investigation, an accidental bombshell was dropped: The hosts asked what else Robinson was working on, and he hinted at two more stories coming down the pike, one of which he characterized as an even bigger scandal than the Ohio State story. Teams, institutions, and even conferences go unnamed, but read our hasty transcript and decide for yourselves: Should your team be worried?
ESPN: So is there another team, another organization, another sport that should be nervous right now because you're working on something comparable?
Robinson: Yeah [laughs], we've still got a couple more coming.
[several moments of back-and-forth banter]
Robinson: I've got probably a six to a seven, maybe an eight depending on where you live coming in the next two weeks, and then by August, a ten.
ESPN: Well, what would you consider the Tressel story, on a one to ten?
Robinson: Probably an eight.
ESPN: So there's something even bigger than that coming in the summertime?
Robinson: Yeah. Yeah. There's one I've been working on since, I don't know, I'm probably entering my fourth month on it, and we'll probably get a good six, seven months in on it before I'm done.

I'm betting LSU... just a hunch
also - why is it that Yahoo is better at investigating than the NCAA? (i mean, i know the ncaa has like 9 people for enforcement... but still)

The day LSU get's caught in a scandal will be the day hell freezes over. People don't understand the grip LSU has. Nobody in state gonna snitch on em. They been buying players since I was little. There's been guys basically telling people on tv LSU bought them and nothing happened.

Just wanted to add, I'd be happy if them Tiger bastards went down, but I know Southern would take a hit if that happened.

Something with Oregon and Phil Knight of Nike.
Hopefully something with Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes too.

Oregon was his story last week. I bet it wouldn't be another story on them... but you never know, I guess.

You must never want to be taken seriously.
Although it's sad that I get your odd references
