Dick Vitale dropped a bit of a bombshell on Twitter this weekend when he said some major allegations are set to emerge about two top college basketball programs -- and no, he doesn't think they should come as a shock for those in the know.
Some sources list LSU and Arizona as potential programs in trouble, though Duke has also emerged as a potential culprit because of alleged gifts and money given to Zion Williamson's family. All we know at this point is that two programs are in trouble.
No doubt that the @NCAA will be adding to their list of schools that will receive a list of major violations soon . THAT IS A FACT! https://t.co/C261TomS6o

The connection to LSU and Arizona came after HBO released The Scheme, a documentary focusing on corruption in college basketball. Vitale also mentioned those two programs on Twitter back in April.
Many naysayers claim the @NCAA enforcement staff will not do anything in relation to the sleazy stuff shown during The SCHEME & the hoop trials . Trust me reliable sources tell me that LSU & ARIZONA basketball will be hit with MAJOR allegations by the NCAA .

The COVID-19-related shutdowns have taken the focus away from sports scandals for the time being. The latest tweets from Vitale seem to indicate that the NCAA has been working behind the scenes and will, in fact, hand down punishments soon.

This will serve as a major blow to two programs already facing uncertainty as to when games can be played again.
