Four assistant coaches at major college basketball programs—Arizona, Oklahoma State, Auburn, and Southern California—have been arrested on charges that they violated federal law by conspiring to pay players and coaches.
The basic gist of the story is that a group of people tried to steer highly rated recruits toward certain schools, with the understanding that those schools would then steer the recruits back toward the initial group of people once the recruits turned pro. Other defendants include former Adidas and NBA employees, as well as a disgraced sports agent.
Of course, everyone arrested on these charges is innocent until proven guilty.
