Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved
It's not yet a Level 1 infraction for OSU, just a charge, and one that is going to be tough to justify, even with Evans going farther than Book in actually facilitating a meeting between a player and the FBI agents posed as the payer. OSU received a Formal Notice of Allegations from the Enforcement side of the NCAA stating their "charges" could be a Level 1 if the Committee on Infractions finds it to be, but the notice is pretty thin. The language of the notice states Evans "...violated the NCAA principles of ethical conduct when he knowingly solicited and received benefits for facilitating or arranging a meeting between student-athletes and financial advisors."RondaeShimmy wrote:
Book stuff he pleaded guilty to. Like other schools like OK St who already received theirs, that's a Level 1 infraction.
Arizona will receive that at minimum. It's the other stuff that we don't know what the NCAA will do.
There might be some kind of "failure to promote atmosphere of compliance" level 2 for the program and Miller, but again we don't know for sure.
This all points to a single coach acting outside of the program and in a way that does not benefit the program. And it doesn't even involve actually facilitating or arranging a meeting between players and advisors/agents in Book's case. Evans actually did facilitate some meetings, which means he acted upon the scheme. In Book's case, it was just money taken for that purpose, but never actually involved a player. It's like if an assistant received payments to get some athletes to come to a club or sign autographs, but never actually solicited the athletes to do so. He scammed the money men. He got busted. That's a criminal action, like a DUI or robbing a liquor store.
The FBI called the schools a "victim" of this scheme. It would be pretty ugly for the NCAA to come in and hammer the victim. What...the schools should never have worn that dress? It just seems like a Mack Truck-size hole in the case for a Level 1 infraction. Even for OSU, where the assistant acted upon the scheme. It would be even more unjustified to move against Arizona for an assistant taking money and doing nothing.
Also, there was a small self-reported violation involving Evans giving a player $300, which is not that big, but further tips the scales in a way not present in a potential Arizona notice of allegations

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved
I agree there will be a level 1 violation but I don't ever hear Dickie V talking about ESPN's cash cow Kansas. There will not be as many violations as Kansas and you will not have wire taps /emails saying to NIKE that we need to just get a couple of players. Why would a coach ever say that to a shoe company guy? Why would a shoe guy ever say "have I ever let you down other than Ayton"???

This thread started two and a half years ago. For two and a half years we’ve been hearing that the hammer is about to fall on Arizona.
But DukieDick thinks the Rona is the only thing holding up NCAA charges against us? That senile old fuck needs to retire from everything.

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved
Yes. Book solicited funds under the pretense of improper benefits. It is a level 1, but who knows the severity of how it is approached since the NCAA cleared the family “solicited” for (Quinerly) making player immediately eligible, and the Feds confirmed that not one cent went to them, hence Book only being charged for Bribery, not Conspiracy. So Book committed a Level 1 in word but not deed.PHXCATS wrote:And Book broke what NCAA rules?TheCat wrote:As a head coach you are responsible for the actions of your staff and others associated with the program.PHXCATS wrote:What will the level 1 violation be for?TheCat wrote:I agree there will be a level 1 violation but I don't ever hear Dickie V talking about ESPN's cash cow Kansas.

One that occurred, in theory a second Level 1 could be charged against Miller for lack of institutional control, but, from what I understand, this is with a history of non-compliance (so like Louisville) and Arizona has a history of self-reporting and compliance, so, again, even if both Level 1 Infractions are charged, there is enough proof to make Arizona look better against them than worse, which should mitigate punishment as both have tiers of severity. Arizona could be charged with both, and both could be the mildest punishment, which would be Probation. I don’t believe Arizona will ONLY get probation. But, when looking at it compared to other programs and their charges/punishment, I think what most anticipate is:
Probation + 1 Scholarship Reduction for 2 years + partial season suspension for Miller
But not Postseason Ban, not multiple Scholarship reductions, not anything as severe for Miller as what other programs are facing.
If the NCAA doubles down and tries, everything I heard is Arizona will sue because of precedent already established, largely by OK State.

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved
Duke is untouchable. ESPN has to begrudgingly report it, but few analysts and reporters are going to commit to it. No one should be surprised about this story — everyone knows Duke doesn’t play by the rules. One of the top ten most difficult institutions to get accepted to admits 2-3 top ten recruits a year, none which are academically qualified. The past 2 years have been filled with stories of corruption in college basketball by the biggest programs, but Duke is clean? There was evidence of Kansas offering benefits to Zion, but he went to Duke for free? Of course Duke’s network of boosters took care of Zion.

Duke could could be banned from post season play and ESPN would still spin it into Miller is a cheater, and lier, and we should all feel bad that a national championship is being stolen from Duke.

Nice to see this agent, who got stiffede by Zion, go after him and Duke. We all know he got paid as have all of those guys coach K has coached. We can only hope he denies it and then they go to court and we will see if he lies under oath

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved
In all seriousness, that does become a potential problem because Coach K could be deposed in that lawsuit, and suddenly his answers will have real consequences because of the nature of the legal proceeding. That said, without reading the pleadings, I don't really know what Duke has to do with a lawsuit between Zion and his former agent -- one would assume their dispute is about commissions and future commissions that pertain to his professional career. Duke's legal team will work overtime to remove the Duke component from this lawsuit.azcat49 wrote:Nice to see this agent, who got stuffed by Zion, go after him and Duke.

The premise is that if Zion was paid, he was ineligible at Duke, and thus this woman's agency and her contract with Zion were unable to be voided and she is owed her money.midnightx wrote:In all seriousness, that does become a potential problem because Coach K could be deposed in that lawsuit, and suddenly his answers will have real consequences because of the nature of the legal proceeding.
