The hammer is finally being dropped.
More than three years after former assistant coach Book Richardson was arrested in the FBI investigation into college basketball corruption, the Arizona Wildcats are expected to receive a formal Notice of Allegations from the NCAA on Thursday, according a report from Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde.
Per Forde, Arizona’s case is considered one of the most significant among the 12 schools that were involved in the probe. If true, the Wildcats could be hit with a postseason ban, loss of scholarships, recruiting visit restrictions, a head coach suspension, and/or show-cause penalties.
