There is incontrovertible evidence that Book Richardson directed payments to at least one current Arizona player and directed some or all of $20,000 to current 5-star commit Jahvon Quinerly.

Richardson also used the bribe money to have the agent/advisor meet with at least two other current Arizona players.

Richardson has been with Sean Miller for 11 years going back to their time at Xavier. Prior to being with Miller, Richardson ran an AAU team in New York. You will never convince anybody that Sean Miller didn't know that Richardson was up to no-good. Richardson isn't facing some limp noodle NCAA investigation; he is facing federal prison time. He will spill all the beans at his first opportunity.

And then this ...

Head coaches used to pin recruiting violations on assistant coaches. In Aug. 2013, NCAA said head coaches are responsible for everything. pic.twitter.com/bBCVL2hM4S

All that cheating and still no Final Four.
