College Basketball - FBI Findings

Post by Crimson's Ghost »

Four assistant coaches were among 10 people arrested today in a sting operation by the FBI.  Cheating, paying and influencing players ect. Sounds like more is coming too.

Emmanuel Richardson, UPJ assistant in the late 90's? I don't even remember him. Next question, how does this scandal reflect on Rukavina & Pecora? The questions will come, a la Paterno: What did they know and when did they know it? I really hope there is no complicity here.
It ain't over until it's over.

I would guess very little. His influence would likely come with his current job at Arizona.

Big-time college basketball recruiting is always a very sleazy game. A lot of backdoor dealing and money changing hands. Arizona's recruiting has been as good as anyone's lately. You'd have to think there's something going on.
