Texas A&M basketball comes up in FBI probe of paying athletes

In case you have been hiding under a rock the past couple of years, the NCAA has a problem on their hands when it comes to programs paying athletes. It seems every week we’re hearing about a new coach or program being caught, which started with a major revelation that the blue blood programs were essentially paying players through shoe companies and agents. Texas A&M basketball has now come up in the case.

Amir Abdur-Rahim was an assistant coach under Billy Kennedy who was hired as the Kennesaw State head coach last week, but back in 2017 he allegedly sent former star forward Robert Williams $11,000 hidden in some shoes.
