FBI Probes NCAA Basketball Programs

The FBI accumulated detailed evidence in the investigation of college basketball corruption that includes programs such as Arizona, Louisville, Auburn, Miami, USC, and Oklahoma State. The evidence surrounds agent Andy Miller and an associate, Christian Dawkins, and includes documents, bank records, and wire taps that delineate records of payments and scheduled payments to players and families. The fallout from this scandal is ongoing but includes Louisville head coach, Rick Pitino, who was fired in October after law enforcement announced a probe in its investigation due to allegations of “fraud and malfeasance” and contract violations in recruiting basketball players. Louisville was then forced to vacate 123 wins, including the 2013 title and 2012 Final Four.
