Duke Investigation Finds No Evidence Nike Allegedly Paid Zion Williamson

Duke University's five-month investigation into allegations that Nike paid ex-Blue Devil superstar Zion Williamson resulted in the school finding zero evidence supporting those notions, according to Steve Wiseman of the News & Observer.

"As soon as Duke was made aware of any allegation that might have affected Zion Williamson’s eligibility, we conducted a thorough and objective investigation which was directed by individuals outside the athletics department," Duke spokesman Michael Schoenfeld wrote in an email to Wiseman.

"We found no evidence to support any allegation. Zion thrived as both a student and an athlete at Duke, and always conducted himself with integrity and purpose.
