I'm such a homer and probably get too many boners from conspiracy theories; however, I find it interesting that based on the email transcripts that state that UA coaches weren't initially down to play ball, and then were suddenly apologetic leads my imagination to think that perhaps CSM was indeed a cooperating witness hence.Spaceman Spiff wrote:Thank you.BE4RDOWN21 wrote:Spaceman always asking the thought provoking questions.

Here's one last question provoked by Iggy:
The FBI was obviously not shy in charging coaches who participated in conspiracies to land players. They have the wire of Miller, yet don't charge him (like Book) or even identify the incident in the complaint.
It's not like you'd think the FBI would cover for Miller. So if he isn't included, and the incident isn't either, what was the reason? On its face, you'd assume (like Iguodala) that Miller would have been in cuffs if this were true, or at the very least, tied to the consipracy even if not charged.
If they do that then ESPN loses tens of Millions of dollars in lawsuits.CalStateTempe wrote:It would not be surprising to have ESPN get the purpose of the payment incorrect.
Maybe they’d like to issue a third correction.

I find that to be odd as well. I mean, why would this source just limit the scope to one outlet? Yahoo had several documents that are important to the case. You would have to believe that they had some sort of information similar to that of ESPN.CatFanOneMil wrote:Here's another question to go on the pile...
Yahoo obviously has plenty of the same information (and maybe even more), there is a high probability here that they have the wiretap transcript or at least hints of it, yet they did not run with the Sean Miller/buy Ayton angle AT ALL...
Why is that?
Ayton is going to be the #1 pick in the draft. He can sign with any top notch agent he chooses and will make millions. You think 100,000 is going to get him to sign with some no name 27 year old? And why would Miller get involved? Once Ayton is on the team, it doesn't benefit Miller one way or another... a $100,000 to risk his career?PHXCATS wrote:If they do that then ESPN loses tens of Millions of dollars in lawsuits.CalStateTempe wrote:It would not be surprising to have ESPN get the purpose of the payment incorrect.

But that is where I would put my bet on this now.
Dawkins offered to pay Miller the 100k to try to get Ayton to the ASM team. This works no matter if the call is 2016 or 2017 and even before or after Ayton commits to UA. ESPN reports it the wrong way. And it makes sense if Miller was aware of the FBI before that he would direct money to him and not book. And it makes sense if Miller had worries about Book but before he knew about the FBI into Book that he would want things to run through him. And Miller isnt dumb so he isnt offering money himself.
Who knows if Fox or CBS or Yahoo also got the same thing ESPN got when they ran with it.BE4RDOWN21 wrote:I find that to be odd as well.

Unless the leak knew that ESPN would be quick to the trigger... My mind is about to explode
The Yahoo story has been verified and it seems ESPN has not done their due diligence. Not to mention, Jeff Goodman seems to be quiet on the subject.CatFanOneMil wrote:Here's another question to go on the pile...

ASM was doing that with a lot of prospects though. See the $43,500 to Dennis Smith Jr. DSJ is worth more than that, but ASM seems to have been dropping low level speculative amounts on a lot of guys.Alieberman wrote:Ayton is going to be the #1 pick in the draft.

To be honest, with the exception of Schalbach, Vitale & Bilas early - it's hard to find anyone right now who isn't being quiet on the subject. USA Today ran an editorial piece. SI did a decent piece that pretty much said there are too many holes. Of course Greg Hansen has been enjoying the doom & gloom, but even he's been quiet since midday yesterday.SabinoDrifter wrote:The Yahoo story has been verified and it seems ESPN has not done their due diligence.

My point is I would trust it coming from Goodman over Schlabach, who is CFB reporter and not really an investigative reporter.Bear Down Vegas wrote:To be honest, with the exception of Schalbach, Vitale & Bilas early - it's hard to find anyone right now who isn't being quiet on the subject.

This tweet, along with the complete silence on this story from the media in the last 16+ hours, makes me think there is serious digging going on right now.NYCat wrote:

The quicker the resolution, the worse it is for Miller and Arizona. The more it extends, the more most reasonable people would think there are issues in what looked like a open and shut thing.Alieberman wrote:This tweet, along with the complete silence on this story from the media in the last 16+ hours, makes me think there is serious digging going on right now.NYCat wrote:

We need to start pounding the pavement as they say. We need hastags and some sort of consistent message to inundate the socials and other media with. We can meme Miller back onto the sidelines, we have accomplished much more difficult tasks with memes.CalStateTempe wrote:As an I Odogg.Olsondogg wrote:Just thought you all should know that I am foaming at the mouth.
After a weekend of processing. I am more pissed now then when the story broke because it is becoming increasingly clear that Arizona and Miller we done severely and terribly wrong. Especially when the ESPN talking heads decided to pile on.
The joe peschi corn field scene in casino would be too kind for schlabach and the rest at ESPN.m
Edit: yes spiff, ESPN tried to bury Arizona’s corpse, the more this is talked about the more we win over joe fan (which needs to happen given the hit Miller took) and have Miller coaching Arizona on the way to this years national chipper.

Devil's advocate, the silence could be Miller and Arizona negotiating an exit.Chicat wrote:The longer Schlabach and ESPN sit quiet without addressing the holes in that story, the more it feels like they got played into making an accusation that’s either lacking any kind of real evidence, or is flat out false.

Or it could be that the initial article was trumped up. One of my core beliefs is that Miller knows what he said and knows what happens if the actual comversation leaks. Miller's own actions should tell us how bad this is.
Sooner rather than later, ESPN is going to have to either confirm or deny if they have actually seen the official transcript or heard the tape. This is a big deal.
