Former Nike and Adidas executive Merl Code is going to prison for his role in the college basketball pay-for-play scandal uncovered by the FBI in 2017. Before then, though, he’s airing all of the sport’s dirty laundry, with Anthony Davis’ name being thrown into the mix.

Prior to his nine-month prison sentence, Code spoke with Pat Forde and Dan Wetzel on their podcast, the College Football Enquirer. During the appearance, he revealed some of the details of his time as a basketball middleman that will be discussed in his new book, Black Market: An Insider’s Journey Into the High-Stakes World of College Basketball.
