I realize that a spreadsheet in and of itself is proof they got money but come on now. There is no way these guys can continue to play college basketball.
 
If they are guilty, you will have to forfeit all the games they played and your season is over. Might as well ride it out and hope they get off somehow.

I don't disagree but consider this. NCAA looks even worse and inept than usual right now. AZ had the RR football issues. Now the BB issues. With Miller's contract calling for 85% payout for termination with cause, one could argue AZ. was giving Miller financial protection because they were aware of operating across the line. And now your talking lack of institutional control.

Not a good look. They may want to be somewhat humble in dealing with the pathetic NCAA right now.

With Arizona, I completely agree. If I am a team like Duke though, I would feel my current reputation would give some leeway. Would not be a bad idea to discuss with an NCAA official for appearance sake.

The players or families can repay the money and remain eligible provided they show proof of payment. That's my understanding from a compliance standpoint
 
Both of those schools have a chance to win the big dance so they aren’t going to do anything to jeopardize a potential trophy. Sad but True
 
Anyone listed under $200 is not ineligible. They just if proven have to pay the amount to a charity of their choice and remain eligible.

This knocks off the Wendell Carter, Kevin Knox, Brice Johnson, Tony Bradley, and etc people on that list.

As for Bridges, he would be ineligible, but you have to prove he received the money. If they can prove it, the games he played in will be vacated unless the NCAA handwaves it all as being widespread.

In theory if true, NC States Dennis Smith Jr season, Bam Adebayo's Kentucky season, Ayton's Arizona season, and so on down the +$200 lost will all be vacated.


Some of the names listed are after they left college already. Such as Tony Bradley and Nerlens Noel of Kentucky. The only ones that matter are the ones before or during they were in college.

Hell, Ayton is playing tonight and he supposedly got $100k from Miller on a wiretap. Lol

Also, it is important to realize this is one Agent's ledger.

There is still the shoe companies, other agents, AAU circuits, and so on.

I am sure WWW had tons of these for Kentucky, but when it got hot, he backed off (right when UK's recruiting kind of fell off and Duke's picked up)

Dinner with Bridges' parents: $70.00
$400 withdrawal allegedly earmarked for Bridges' mom. Keeping in mind that the guy who submitted these changes to his employer in the form of an expense report for reimbursement isn’t the most honest guy on earth. But let’s say Dawkins bought the dinner and gave Mrs Bridges that $400. No proof of any kind that that Bridges received anything, or even knew anything about it. No proof that Izzo knew anything about it. And you want to see Bridges suspended.

On top of it all, you guys are lumping them in with Sean Miller, Brian Bowen, Pitino, or DeAndre Ayton.

Gotta love the Lair, where being uninformed and ignorant are always on full display.
