National College Basketball Scandal Hits UA

The college basketball scandal that’s reached schools including Duke, North Carolina and Michigan State has reached the University of Arizona.

On Friday, ESPN reported an FBI wiretap found a conversation between head coach Sean Miller and an employee of a sports agent at the center of the investigation.

They were reportedly discussing a $100,000 payment to make sure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Arizona Wildcats.

Miller did not coach Saturday’s game against Oregon. 

Alex Kirshner is a reporter for SB Nation.
