He did not know about Book getting $5,000 here and there, rolling in his $60K, to talk to players about going to a certain agent.

So why the fuck would Miller look the other way. I can say with a straight face that if the actions that have been made public are what there is, there is no fucking way Miller knew what was going on, because he would have fired Book in .1 seconds (or maybe .4...however long it takes to pick him up and throw him) for risking the entire program over piss-ant money to manipulate his players to certain agents.

This is bad very very bad, and i hope it stops at book otherwise a team that brings me such joy will be dead is so many ways.

But why is the FBI doing the NCAA's dirty work? What federal crime was broken? Is it becuase book is an employee of a federally funded university?

My guess is the investigation leads back to someone who was burned in this situation or it leads back to Nike.

Why the fuck are we still paying him?

Feel really bad for Book. He make a mistake, yes, broke some laws, but the consequences will be far more dire then the action. Not like he got someone hurt, or he was even malicious against a person. Thought he'd make a quick buck in a return favor, but that the kid would probably be in fine shape steering to that individual. Just lack of judgment. However, he has burned the bridge of his best friend and mentor Miller, probably won't coach for a long time, face jail and/or fines, huge lawyer fees, reputation hits, etc., all for the quick buck. Pray for Book.

So you're saying the same applies to you then right?

Will be interesting to hear his comments. Of course, because it's an ongoing investigation, Miller might be advised to keep quiet. If Miller comes out and says he feels betrayed by Book, I'd tend to believe him.

I am very much looking forward to the 4 coaches and the other six individuals named to start squealing and taking everyone else down that they can to reduce their own risk. I am quite certain everyone at Arizona feels exactly the same way, especially Sean Miller.

Maybe even Colorado will fall in with it as well. That'd be hilarious.

weird, the document says University 4 (Zona) was going to pay 150K to Little to come play for them. That is weird, I feel that should be way more specif, like the whole University is in on this?

A few weeks later, Dawkins told an undercover agent that Richardson needed another $15,000 to secure the player, who Dawkins identified as a "top point guard in the country," according to the complaint.

Dawkins told the agent that if this deal was made, “the leverage I have with the program would be ridiculous at that point,” and that UA head coach Sean Miller “is talking out of his mouth, he wants (the player) bad as (expletive,)” the complaint says.

No kidding. We haven't seen them show their faces around here in quite some time.

Suggests to me that maybe Dawkins wasn't connected to the program until Quinerly. Maybe.

Serious weak sauce, as if this fan base needs the "help" with information. We're fucking 3hrs ahead of dado fan but he's all " guys I heard hc have to take the fall for assistants" and provides a "helpful link"

It's gonna be funny when the dust settles from all this an tad boyle looking up from the bottom of the mountains division.

Book is Miller's guy and brought him into the program. You think with all these high level recruits rolling, Miller knew nothing just because it wasn't picked up on a wire tap? Wake up.

Either way, Book is Miller's guy and Miller is culpable. Shame on us if we don't fire him.

Under this standard, every D1 college coach should be fired, including BYU

I get that you're frustrated with your situation, but you can do better than that. Though, at least you made me chuckle. Enjoy the process, I know I will.
