DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said the trial surrounding an FBI investigation of corruption in college basketball in New York City is a "blip" that doesn't devalue the sport.
"I think [college basketball] is actually pretty clean," he told ESPN on Monday.
The initial trial for the alleged bribery scheme involving multiple Division I coaches and shoe executives could conclude this week.
Both T.J. Gassnola, a former AAU coach from Massachusetts, and Brian Bowen Sr., the father of Louisville recruit Brian Bowen Jr., have detailed alleged payments that were made or promised to high school and college players in a widespread effort to steer elite athletes to Adidas schools.
