The Scheme gives great insight into the workings of the FBI. Whether racism or stupidity drove this effort by amateurish FBI agents is beyond us duped tax payers. The FBIs own wire taps paint Christian Dawkins as a pawn that wouldn't play along to implicate basketball coaches who openly lied about their behavior in paying student athletes. Should be some embarrassing conversations in those Athletic Dept.

Great insight into the FBI and the SCHEMES they play to take down the little fish, but continue to let the big fish eat all day, every day!!!
Christian Dawkins puts on a massive self-aggrandizing affair where he skirts blame, takes credit AND offers no resolution to the problem which he's a direct problem of.
There's been corruption in NCAA basketball for decades, but this guy thinks he's owed something or holds himself beyond it.
Interesting to see what the curtain pulled back, just hard to care when the person doing the pulling has an agenda.

I'll make this short. If you're a college basketball fan and don't watch this, you'll be missing one thing that will either confirm or completely change what you think about the NCAA, the FBI and our judicial system. It's extremely well done and to true. I checked.
The Scheme appears to lack just that.
It's hard to determine what Kondelis is trying to achieve with this:
The inefficiency of law enforcement?
The corruption of sport?
The, relative innocence of Christian Dawkins?
Despite not focusing on any given topic, the overall sensation is that The Scheme is lacking in a prerequisite for documentaries - objectivity.
Why take the viewpoint that Dawkins, who is obviously knee deep in a crooked system, should be the chosen voice to criticise said system?
There is an element of truth in the fact that he got hard done by in relation to his involvement - but a nuance of raw deal hardly makes for a great documentary.
If you're looking to criticise the system - do so. If you're using Dawkins to demonstrate a miscarriage of justice - there are thousands more deserving.
