Earth to commish........these so-called student athletes and their families are part of the problem negotiations back door payments!
They, the parents, are allowing their pampered children to be pimped out to the highest bidders.

Dwayne Johnson. He might have been as he was there as a Freshman, went to prep school for a year or two and then came back as a Senior. We were recruiting him, Chris and Bill Wennington very hard that year. Johnson was Chris's height but more of a forward.

The director of Nassir Little's AAU team is currently in jail, and there's a decent chance Little is among those named in FBI/DOJ complaint.

Two NCAA coaches involved in the recruitment of Nassir Little told me they had backed off this week as it became clear he was Arizona-bound.

Book was "suspended," not "fired" (yet),
Arizona Wildcats assistant coach Book Richardson has been “immediately suspended and relieved of all duties” following his arrest in an FBI corruption probe, the University of Arizona announced Tuesday.
Here is the University of Arizona’s response in its entirety
“We were made aware of the Department of Justice’s investigation this morning and we are cooperating fully with the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office. Assistant coach Emanuel Richardson was immediately suspended and relieved of all duties.
“We were appalled to learn of the allegations as they do not reflect the standards we hold ourselves to and require from our colleagues. The University of Arizona has a strong culture of compliance and the expectation is we follow the rules.”
Here is the statement from Arizona Athletics:
“We became aware of the situation involving one of our men’s basketball coaches Emmanuel Richardson this morning. We have been working in conjunction with the University and have confirmed that Richardson has been suspension effective immediately. We will cooperate fully with authorities as they move through their investigation.
“We work under the basic directive that all department personnel operate within applicable laws and NCAA rules. The behavior that Richardson is accused of is completely unacceptable and does not reflect the principles of this athletics department.”
Richardson was one of four assistant coaches charged with fraud and corruption for accepting bribes to pressure student-athletes to take on certain agents and advisors.
Richardson allegedly accepted $20,000 bribes, and he used some of the money to pay at least one recruit to attend the UA, a court document says.
Richardson has been on Arizona’s staff since 2009 when head coach Sean Miller was hired from Xavier, where Richardson was also on Miller’s staff.
Richardson was primarily known for his recruiting prowess, especially on the East Coast.
Arizona has cancelled its media day that was originally scheduled for Wednesday.

Head coaches should know a little bit about the character of the people they hire.
This guy was with Sean Miller for years.
No one will believe that Sean Miller and other head coaches had no knowledge of what was going on.
Ignorance is not going to fly.
