What Friday’s Yahoo report means for the past, present and future of college basketball

So unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 12 hours (in which case, I’m impressed that your first stop would be this website) you’re probably aware that Yahoo Sports released a “bombshell” report on Friday morning (and I’ll explain later why I put the word “bombshell” in quotes). The report directly implicated some of the biggest coaches, players and programs in college basketball and showed direct ties to agent Andy Miller and a runner who worked for him named Christian Dawkins. The ties came through, what amounted to an invoice submitted by Dawkins that showed that he paid anywhere from a couple hundred bucks to 10’s of thousands of dollars (and sometimes more) to some of the biggest name basketball prospects in the sport, players who eventually went on to big-time college programs.
