Latest Yahoo story rehashes what has already been said & shows email between sports agent Dawkins talking about Pasternik, Book & Bowen. I hate that this is being repeated Again. Still just talk between agents via email.

We know two Kansas players were paid. We know Louisville players were paid. We know the Little family (under oath) denied any mention of money from Arizona. We know that the only mention of money from Arizona to Bowen was from Dawkins, who was not representing Arizona. Dawkins was recruiting future NBA stars to sign with him as an agent! We know SM walked him off. We know that when the FBI said that coaches and schools were being mentioned that were not the targets of the investigation that Arizona was the headliner in the news and the only ones targeted by the news. That in itself should open some eyes?
Yet, the only school that remains consistently in the cross hairs of the media seems to be Arizona. Does this sound like the Russian collusion hoax? Sure sounds that way to me!

Arizona is a Nike school. Oregon is a Nike school. Both also PAC 12 schools. Easy targets for ESPN and others because we have a spineless leader at the head of the conference. Adidas is looking pretty corrupt right now. So pointing the finger is the easy thing to do. Why USC and UCLA are not being targeted I do not know, but then again they do seem to be the favorites of our fearless PAC 12 commish.

There is a whole lot more that back this stuff, but we are being targeted.

I am glad I do not wear Adidas anymore and haven't in a while. Business can be such a dirty "business" and when you get someone feeling left out they will do what they can to drag you down to their level. At the same time I really do not wear Nike shoes (I sport Lakai - skate shoes), but I did buy the AZ cross trainers for my son and I. Now I despise Adidas and will never look at them the same.

Maybe Sean Miller and the UA cooperated with the Feds (and refused to participate in the payouts) and the fallout was the way of getting back at Arizona/Sean Miller for doing so.

I think Arizona is the biggest fish besides Kansas to be involved. As far as basketball programs, the others that are mentioned aren't on the same level as Arizona and Kansas. They don't have the allure of "blue blood" programs. Since  media will protect Kansas, Arizona is going to get the attention. It's not fair, but the media is about advert $, not actual truth or news.

Today in court a text message was shown between Brian Bowen's father and former Louisville assistant coach Kenny Johnson arranging a $1300 payment. If the text message is legit than that's proof and a big deal.

Am I reading this correctly? At the start of Bowen's testimony, he implicated 4 programs:

"At the start of Bowen Sr.'s testimony last week, he implicated four assistant coaches who he said Dawkins told him were offering money or other improper benefits for his son. They ranged from an offer to "help me with housing" from Texas assistant coach Mike Morrell, a $50,000 offer from Arizona assistant coach Joe Pasternack, to an offer of $100,000 and "a lucrative job" from Creighton assistant coach Preston Murphy, and an offer of $150,000 cash from Oklahoma State assistant coach Lamont Evans."

But in Tuesday's testimony, he only acknowledged three of the offers... notice who's missing?

"On Tuesday, Bowen Sr. acknowledged three of those offers: $100,000 and "high-paying" jobs for Bowen Sr. and Bowen's mother, Carrie Malecke, from Creighton; $150,000 and an $80,000 car from Oklahoma State; and free housing from Texas."

Arizona isn't brought up again in the ESPN article: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/24944261/brian-bowen-father-says-ex-louisville-assistant-kenny-johnson-gave-1300

As I said earlier, it was because the only reason Arizona was mentioned is because the name was being used for leverage. The person repping Arizona? Dawkins. And Dawkins then named an Arizona assistant. Never was there an actual Arizona coach in the picture. Dawkins is a shady dude at best already caught in lies and so his testimony is questionable at best. I like that Arizona never came up again.

Aidids agent Gassnola claims to have paid Deandre Ayton. Arizona is a Nike school, so this makes absolutely no sense at all. 

More than likely this would've meant that they were trying to pay Ayton to go to an Adidas school like Kansas. That is if any of this is even true.
