NCAA pay-for-play investigation won’t impact March Madness

Weeks before March Madness brackets started to bust, more than 20 Division I basketball programs across the country were busted by an FBI probe. The adjacent report linked schools to corruption via a breach of NCAA regulations, specifically for “under-the-table” payment of both high school and college athletes.

Yahoo! Sports posted the official FBI documents late last month, detailing the actions and transactions by named teams, coaches, players and agents.

The named programs include Alabama, Clemson, Creighton, Duke, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Maryland, Michigan State, NC State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Seton Hall, South Carolina, Texas, Vanderbilt, Virginia, USC, Utah, Washington, Wichita State and Xavier.
