This guy gets it.

guess you and that guy overlook the statements of Book and Dawkins refuting their story is being ignored. @espn
and @Mark_Schlabach ducked interviews when made known of the facts that Dawkin said in court. Book Richardson never paid a single cent to any player, prospect, family, or handler. This is backed by actual proof that he took the money for himself and the reason the FBI and NCAA cleared EVERY player and prospect linked by Book/Dawkins to Arizona.

Further, the Feds declined to prosecute Book for conspiracy to commit fraud, only pleading him out on Bribery.
From the court case: When Richardson met with Munish Sood's office with an undercover agent on July 20, 2017, the agent confirmed $15,000 for three months worth of payments for Quinerly's mother.
"We're going do-gonna do 15 for three months, right?" The agent asks Richardson, "And that should help with the kids?"
"It better helps with the kids," Richardson replies, and says Quinerly's mother was "Good with me in terms of following the script."

However, outlined by Mordock and investigated by both the FBI and the NCAA THAT MONEY never changed hands and was a scheme in order for Richardson to get the MONEY.

SO you feel sorry for the guy that hatched a plan for his own enrichment and not the Zona basketball program and Sean Miller.

After Book was convicted and sentenced Book said Miller didn’t know anything about anything Book was saying and doing and about players allegedly being payed. When Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander tried to spin it and in the case of Norlander said Book actually said YES, Book took to twitter and Said he said NO Miller didn't know about what BOOK was doing.

March 18, 2020, the director of HBO’s The Scheme confirmed that Dawkins said the ESPN, and Mark Schlabach report of a wiretap phonecalls of Miller/Dawkins conversation offering to pay Ayton $100k Feb.23, 2018 NEVER HAPPENED!

Might want to look at the proven facts in court and statements of the person that was convicted actually said

Additionally ESPN has now changed its tune

It is very unbecoming for a Moderator to gloat, but I feel compelled to do so, since I was one of the very few who said SM deserved the presumption of innocence before being judged by pseudo-X Fans. Actually, pseudo-human beings. There was exceptional auditing of the whole program, and he was not only found to be innocent but the Committee concluded that he was overtly dogged about his coaches being compliant. Kudos to him for accepting the ruling with grace, and not calling out the ESPN hacks and others who went for an easy headline. It's comforting to know we not only have one of the best HC in NCAA, along with guys like Bruiser Flint, but one who conducts himself with the utmost integrity.

Gloating is what I'll do now. Test my patience again, and you'll have to join the Fan Board of a school with 8x X's enrollment, but can't fill their arena until X plays there. #CliftonHeightsSuperbowl.

Come on AH, no false modesty, gloating is your best attribute. Sean could sue and own ESPN and their bogus "reporter"

Glad we can all move on. Even better that there was no evidence indicating Sean had any knowledge or involvement.
