Ongoing Federal Trial Goes Behind The Curtain Of College Basketball Recruiting

A trial is underway in federal court in New York, which threatens to expose a dark side of college basketball.

This stems from an earlier investigation, which included former University of Arizona assistant coach Emanuel “Book” Richardson.

He was charged with fraud and bribery, and UA has since fired him.

Ricky O’Donnell, the college basketball editor at SBNation.com, joined The Show via Skype to talk about the first few days of the trial.
