https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2 ... spn-report" target="_blank
As Arizona coach Sean Miller forcibly professed his innocence on Thursday in a statement that affirmed his status with the team, a source familiar with the college hoops corruption investigation confirmed with SI that the details of a wiretapped phone call involving Miller were inaccurately reported in a story by ESPN that said Miller “discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Wildcats.

According to the source, relevant FBI wiretaps in the investigation did not begin until 2017—months after five-star recruit Deandre Ayton had already committed to Arizona in Sept. 2016. This account is consistent with reporting by Evan Daniels of 247Sports. The recruitment of Ayton, therefore, would have not been at issue in an intercepted phone call that occurred in 2017. To that end, the source told SI what Miller clarified for the first time Thursday: Ayton is not the player on whose behalf former ASM Sports employee Christian Dawkins allegedly sought a payment from Miller, and Miller never pursued or made any payments to a recruit associated with Dawkins.

This account depicts Miller as complying with both the law and NCAA recruiting rules. The same holds true of Ayton, whose compliance with NCAA rules would ensure that he remains eligible to play for the final month of his freshman year.

For his part, Miller made clear on Thursday that he will fight the allegations. In a press conference held at the university, Miller stressed that he had “never paid a recruit or a prospect” and would never do so. He also asserted that he and Ayton have suffered “defamation” by the manner in which the media has reported the allegations. The possibility of Miller and Ayton filing defamation lawsuits is examined more closely below.
Hahahaha
Timed perfectly, non-ESPN entities vs. ESPN.

The worldwide leader has their backs to the ropes.

AND, they just made their THIRD correction to the original story.

Miller did mention he talked to Dawkins in the press conference. I doubt he talked to him about how his day was going.
I'll continue this conversation when you can stop writing in assumptions and personal projections.

I've seen jabbering agent wannabes approach Hassan Adams when he was still a junior and push energy drinks in his face to endorse. Sauce took his stuff, then threw it in the garbage around the corner.

Does that mean Hassan "most likely" discussed improper payments with an agent? Please.

That was as serious and profound a presser statement as could possibly be produced.

The university and Sean Miller laid down the gauntlet. I'm also confident that you will never hear a public retraction from them scumbags at ESPN because the financial liability would be enormous.

Miller pretty clearly said the discussion with Dawkins was not related to a current Arizona player

"...and the player did not come to the University of Arizona".

I mean...you could technically say he never said this and that and this but the intent was pretty clear.

I don't see how you guys are connecting the two things. The thing he said about the one player was to his 'I never have... and never will' point. He wasn't talking about Dawkins in that instance.

Here's a direct quote from Sean MIller:

THIS STATEMENT WOULD INCLUDE DIRECTING AN AGENT/OR FAMILY/OR FUTURE AGENT...

This kinda shoots holes in the theory that his convo with Dawkins about anything other than possibly Bowen as a recruit...it in no way indicates Miller even considered directing any of his players to ASM for Dawkins.

Dawkins was trying to leverage a quid pro quo situation. Book got nailed because he accepted a bribe intended to obtain Quinerly in exchange for Book steering current players to Dawkins.

Miller is describing Dawkins offering him the same deal. Dawkins gives 100k to Miller to land Bowen, he asks for players to be steered to him in exchange. Maybe he asks about Ayton at that point, but the money wasn't for Miller in the way the Book payment ostensibly wasn't intended for Book.

He's not at liberty to discuss directly his conversations with Dawkins. Why would he have mentioned a separate conversation about money for a player if it didn't pertain to the Dawkins conversation, which is the cause of this entire episode? Just to invite a new federal inquiry into a previously unknown conversation about money for players that the current investigators don't know about?

Idk Dawkins was everywhere in this investigation he's the same kid that got the big dog at adidas to funnel him money for bowen. That was between Louisville and Miami. I almost think he was just hustling and keeping money for his self.

The agents are trying to buy access to a pipeline of players, not an individual player. If they could get access to Arizona players via the single $100k payment, that's better than paying one player $100k.

It's like... my wife is a mortgage loan officer but she doesn't wine and dine people looking to buy homes. She wines and dines the best realtors in the market, because that money pays for a pipeline and not a single one time deal.

NBA contracts average 10-15 mil a year and an agent get 7% (at least generally). So, each NBA signee is about a million a year.

It's a numbers game. If you drop $100,000 on 10 guys, you can recoup it with a single signee in a single year.

Don't see where you got that from. I said ESPN didn't say Miller did anything wrong. They said he had a discussion about a payment. They didn't say he took a payment. I did say they wrongly reported facts about the situation.

Not more than 4%, I believe, but point remains.

Agent: "I'll give you 100K to sign with us"

18 year old: "OK"
The agents are trying to buy access to a pipeline of players, not an individual player. If they could get access to Arizona players via the single $100k payment, that's better than paying one player $100k.

It's like... my wife is a mortgage loan officer but she doesn't wine and dine people looking to buy homes. She wines and dines the best realtors in the market, because that money pays for a pipeline and not a single one time deal.

Also this. The money's ability to get in the door with a program is even more than just the individual players too.

So what seed are we looking at now in the fbi NCAA bracket? Had to at least fall to 8 or below now right?

We sure fell from overall number 1 last fri/sat.

Someone told our reporter something.

Sure, that could be true. Now is it good journalism to print salacious and career ending allegations without evidence or confirmation? No - it's fucking not.
They aint in the game for good journalism, they are in for "reputation-making stories" for reporters, and eyeballs, add revenue, etc.

YOU MSM FAKE NEWS DENIERS, where art thou? This is how it works! Destroy a man with little recourse. Fuck
lol.
What we learned is ESPN is a far cry from The New York Times, Washington Post and, hell, even Yahoo.
Plus...it stands out because MSM does not make these kind of mistakes often.

Same cannot be said about web -only outlets that cater to one side or the other.
Not sure about that my dude. Hate that my links had to involve politics in this glorious thread at this glorious time; nothing else came to mind when I was trying to find something that was even close to the same level of what CSM is going through. Just for reference, I wont be engaging in the political stuff in here.

Don't do this shit.

Referencing the fucking DailyCaller as a source on what is "Fake News" is fucking rich with irony though.

Yeah, you know what - don't do this shit.

Caitlin twitter:
"Robbins: Multiple questions posed to Miller over several days, face-to-face discussions, and information from FBI/DOJ/UA investigations convinced Robbins that Miller did nothing wrong."


This fucking HUGE.
