Arizona Basketball: What does the FBI sentencing mean for Arizona and Sean Miller?

Tuesday morning, all three defendants in the FBI case, which was looking into the dark world of college basketball, were handed out sentences. Former Adidas executive Jim Gatto was given nine months in a minimum security prison, the longest of the three. Christian Dawkins and former Adidas consultant Merl Code were each given six months.

As you recall, all three were found guilty back in October 2018 of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. It was just the beginning of the FBI looking to into college basketball, but it’s far from the end.

Arizona head coach Sean Miller and LSU head coach Will Wade were recently subpoenaed to stand trial in April.
