Thanks for sharing additional insight into your views. It provides some very helpful context to your perspective.
As for the ESPN "source", I have no idea if it is a legitimate one. But suggesting that the press divulge a confidential source is inane, and that fact that they will not is hardly cause to question its credibility.
Then again I am not supportive of muzzling the press and forcing them to regurgitate a government-dictated narrative.
Your post above could read like a Nixon administration narrative commenting on Deepthroat.

Yep. Which is why it's best not to rush to judge. Until Miller goes on record or something official comes out from the FBI that isn't a leak, then I'm withholding judgement.
Either way, I could care less if Ayton was paid to come to Arizona. For all we know, maybe Miller got him at a great price and $100k was below market. Maybe Duke paid $200K for Bagley. Then Miller really is a Witch!

Do we know if any other agents or shoe companies were involved other than Andy Miller/Dawkins & Nike? Isn’t it possible the FBI’s sting didn’t extend any further than that since it didn’t originate as a CBB investigation to begin with and CSM/Pitino take the full brunt if other coaches did most of their dealings with other entities?
I guess we’ll find out, but rest assured if the FBI has info that’s not made public, the NCAA sure as hell won’t present it and will limit the damage to those scapegoats that are made public by the FBI or leaks.
In other words, I fully expect Duke (and other Blue Bloods) to come out of this clean, or as clean as the public info will let them.

Miller facilitated payment to Lauri, Rawle, and Ayton in cooperation with the FBI? Seems far-fetched, but we'll find out soon enough. Ayton has played in every game so the season will be vacated if he did accept money.
CST, are you still flying to Eugene? I'm guessing Miller coaches and Rawle and Ayton play (Trier sits). Our AD will put out a statement along the lines of "we are complying with the investigation and will reserve further comment or action until this process is completed."

I will grasp at that straw. I’m a desperate man who doesn’t want one of the few things I enjoy in this life to go away.
Would explain why the figure ($100k) was relatively low. Directive was just to get Dawkins on tape talking dollar figures meanwhile we had already secured Ayton in a non-obviously stupid way?

It's really incredible what has transpired with our basketball program the last few years. The Ed Rush, Pac 12 officiating scandal was child's play compared to this. I mean, you could write a Hollywood script about the last few years. Parrom getting shot. He touched the ball. Ray Smith two ACL injuries (actually 3). Trier's PED suspension. And now Book Richardson and the FBI. I mean, this is unreal when you look at the totality of what Sean Miller has endured.
I suppose the same goes for Louisville. Pitino and the FBI & Syphers. The stripper/hooker dorm parties. Kevin Ware with a compound fracture during a game. Pretty crazy stuff.

Exactly. That's what I don't get. Who cares if somebody got money for playing basketball? I mean, I understand the NCAA's need to enforce rules to keep the Golden Goose/ATM machine going for themselves. But I don't see why people are upset when a kid & his family are willing to take payment in exchange for their kids' services as an elite talent that will make millions for a university and the coach and athletic department.

Still don't understand why Miller wasn't indicted along with Book and the other assistants when this whole scandal broke. If they had the evidence then why not then? Why would they be holding back? I mean Pitino was cited originally so why not include Miller?
Something isn't right. Oh well maybe I'm just delusional as well as heartbroken.
SIGH......
Miller wasn’t indicted because (from all appearances) he didn’t commit a crime. No bribery, wire fraud, tax evasion, or money laundering. Talking about paying players is not against the law ........ but it is against NCAA rules. Which sucks. Because we now have this in the hands of people who think some free pizza and a few grains of not a fucking thing are reason enough to fuck us in the butthole (no lube).

Discussing payment isn't a crime and giving money isnt a crime. Book actually took money as a bribe

Any chance we just roll the entire team out tonight?

I think there is a pretty good chance of it actually... Well maybe not trier. But it would be a classic FU if Arizona rolled tired out there without being cleared.
