Someone needs to take Old Yeller out to pastureDickie V defending Duke and lamenting the fact that the Duke player getting dinner has been in lot of articles with the Arizona and NC State allegations and unfairly tying them to wrong doing. Fuck this hard.
Someone needs to take Old Yeller out to pasture
DICKROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODReally bad week for Zona, gang rape for the football team and the basketball team is paying for players and doing roids.
Outside counsel Paul Kelly said law firms working for Arizona don't have access to FBI wiretaps & haven't been told what's in them. "Those items are subject to a court-imposed protective order, and only the charged defendants have access to those materials," Kelly told ESPN.

Apparently the dude that rolled the story about Sean Miller hasn't actually heard the tapes. Just solely based on hearsay. I mean if you are going to blast in article out that's going to ruin someone's career you should really make sure you have the source information and have double checked all your facts. Curious to see where this goes.
FBI wiretaps intercepted telephone conversations between Arizona coach Sean Miller and Christian Dawkins, a key figure in the FBI's investigation into college basketball corruption, in which Miller discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Wildcats, sources familiar with the government's evidence told ESPN.
According to people with knowledge of the FBI investigation, Miller and Dawkins, a runner working for ASM Sports agent Andy Miller, had multiple conversations about Ayton. When Dawkins asked Sean Miller if he should work with assistant coach Emanuel "Book" Richardson to finalize their agreement, Miller told Dawkins he should deal directly with him when it came to money, the sources said.
Yeah, the article was pretty up front about that:
This is how reporting works. You really expect them to listen to the tapes, which are under seal, and in a criminal case before reporting the story? That's not going to happen.
The better point to make is that it's entirely possible the leak came from the Arizona assistant that got charged, and not the FBI. Then you'd have to question the motives of the leak and if the assistant is just trying to throw Miller under the bus. But, if ESPN properly confirmed the story, it shouldn't matter.
The fact that Miller wasn't fired immediately, and Ayton played on Sunday, should tell you something. Leave it to twitter to ruin someone's career before facts are known! DONE DEAL DONE DEAL DONE DEAL DONE DEAL
Arizona's outside counsel (i.e., someone with no reason whatsoever to lie about something like this) has said that there's nothing to indicate Ayton took any money. Either the outside counsel is lying (again, there's no good reason why they'd do that) and Ayton's family is good enough to hide something like that from the FBI and the outside counsel (very unlikely) or all of the people calling for Ayton's head are full of shit.
As for the wiretaps of Miller, the only people who have access to that information are the indicted defendants or the FBI. That means that Schlabach hasn't heard them or that someone involved with the case did something very illegal. Hopefully it means that Schlabach is lying because I would absolutely love to see Miller and Arizona sue ESPN for this.

B1G starting their conference tournament a week early just so they can play in NYC (the Big East gets Champ Week dips on the Garden). So stupid. There is so much that I loathe about college sports.

The condensed big ten schedule sucked. The lack of a true round robin sucks, but I don't get why people are so salty about playing in MSG? There are plenty of big alumni groups in NYC from all those schools. Not to mention it's a fun place to watch and play basketball. Seeing so many salty Big East fans act like they have a monopoly on the stadium is hilarious.
Good thing Ayton has broken multiple rules that should have gotten him kicked off the team long ago. I mean he already got busted for roids and now he is doing them again.Arizona's outside counsel (i.e., someone with no reason whatsoever to lie about something like this) has said that there's nothing to indicate Ayton took any money.

You're confusing him with Alonzo Trier. Nice try, though.Good thing Ayton has broken multiple rules that should have gotten him kicked off the team long ago. I mean he already got busted for roids and now he is doing them again.
Sorry can't keep track of all the criminals and cheaters in Tucson. On the bright side the gang rapes have been isolated to the football team. Hopefully the b-ball players don't party with the football team.You're confusing him with Alonzo Trier. Nice try, though.
The end of that Miami UNC game doe...
Ted Valentine is a fuckin douche
Good to see little brother get one every now and then
