Recruiting Impact on “Scandal Schools”

Per Dan Wetzel
Wild day in federal court. Ex Arizona assistant Book Richardson, on recorded tape, basically says despite making nearly $250,000 a year he was “broke” from using so much of own money to pay recruits. Hyperbole, sure, but still.
Also on tape, Richardson says LSU coach Will Wade offered him a job to help with recruitment of Naz Reid. Per Richardson, Wade said, “look, there’s a deal in place. I got $300,000 for him.” Richardson, “I said, give me half and I’ll make sure the kid goes there.”
Christian Dawkins when discussing Deandre Ayton says on tape, “I talked to Sean (Miller), Sean’s the one that fronted that deal.”

Book Richardson said on tape he gave $10,000 of his own money to the Quinerlys, and also that Quinerly's mom wanted to move out to Tucson.
"She was looking to move to Tucson and also looking for a potential job," Munish Sood testified.
Book also said on tape that Rawle Alkins' cousin moved out to Tucson after he committed.
"I give him like two grand a month, he works," Book said on tape. "He said, 'Is that like an allowance?' I said 'No, what I usually do, I just try to stagger it...I'll give him $1,500 cash'

These reports are getting dirtier by the minute the NCAA has to do something, if not i believe there might be congressional implication's.
I believe it is way too late for NCAA to do anything that would be credible.
No longer is a matter of passing rules. It been for decades about enforcing the rules and just having basic ethics an an entity.
The NCAA has done the barest minimum to a minimal few on modest violations.It has been exposed with chronic blindness when it comes to the big boys for many eras.
Just to name one: North Carolina’s academic cheating over ten years for multiple sports, played out in multiple media stories in detail over a couple of years. The NCAA manages to make it disappear like a bad magic act.
Thats one blatant example of why any NCAA effort now with press releases, a thundering speech, and a special oversight committee, or twelve, will be seen as what they are: hypocritical noises intended to blow smoke over their impotence or worse.
I don’t care if its the FBI who alters behavior with some draconian penalties, or even the Congressional posturing that finds sport regulation an easy target. It may be a double benefit if they find something to agree on, less dangerous then the economy and international affairs. What we know is the NCAA is beyond masquerading as a college-based, volunteer effort that can set and assure ethical standards.

Mind boggling Miller survives this and Arizona doesn't get the death penalty.
The stink rising from the desert sands should overwhelm the NCAA but,instead, they'll likely slap sanctions on some mid-major school for giving players $200 bucks in meal or travel money. Lol.

Happy with MA but we all know if we got Pitino it would have blown over in a week. If nothing happened to UNC for literally making up classes for players, nothing will happen with this either. Wade and Miller are laughing.

If we ever hear dirt on Duke, I would hope Jay takes the same stance.

I personally feel even in a sport where the elite get a pass, Arizona and LSU will let Miller and Wade go. These events imo are beyond the tipping point for school officials to not take action.

Worst case, they resign/get fired and then coach at another top school with the same crap IMO. I used to trust that these guys would get theirs but they never seem to especially at schools like Zona and LSU.

AND the coaches get to keep all of the money they made from salary while cheating. Where is the deterring factor to prevent coaches from cheating? It appears that cheating pays. They need to ban these coaches for life.
