Last week, when Yahoo! Sports revealed financial records as part of a federal probe into payments to college assistant coaches and players and their families, a slew of schools found themselves linked publicly to a sports agent who may not have been playing by the rules.
Among those schools were Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill, who both had former athletes signed to Andy Miller, a longtime sports agent from the New York City area, and N.C. State University, whose star guard, Dennis Smith Jr., appeared to have received $73,500 in loans from Miller before Smith entered the university.
NCSU officials quickly responded to the report by making public a so-called “disassociation” letterthey gave Miller in 2012.
