Back in October, the first of several trials was settled concerning the corruption in college basketball recruiting. Shoe company representatives, agents, and runners testified about the shady side of college recruiting that we have all been turning a blind eye to for decades.
Ultimately, Jim Gatto, Merl Code, and Christian Dawkins were all found guilty of fraud. Oddly enough, the universities that received players via dirty recruiting were portrayed as the victim in the trial. With the new trial beginning in April, though, that power dynamic will likely look a lot different.
For the first time, prominent head coaches are slated to receive subpoenas to testify in the new trial.
