The Arizona Wildcats’ connection to an FBI bribery investigation involving college basketball and shoe companies is back in the news. And like in most previous instances, it’s not in a particularly good way.
Emanuel ‘Book’ Richardson, a former assistant coach, has agreed to plead guilty to a charge of federal funds bribery according to Yahoo! Sports. Under the terms of his plea, Richardson faces between 18 and 24 months in prison, far below the up to 60 years he could have faced had he gone to trial and been convicted on several charges.
