Following this week’s debut of HBO’s The Scheme – a documentary highlighting former agent and middleman Christian Dawkins and his involvement in the corruption inside college basketball – ESPN commentator Dick Vitale believes two Power 5 programs are set to face significant penalties in the near future.
With FBI wiretaps revealing damning audio clips of LSU head coach Will Wade, Arizona head coach Will Wade, and Arizona assistant Book Richardson discussing payment with potential recruits, Vitale believes the Tigers and Wildcats are set to take significant hits from the NCAA.
“Many naysayers claim the NCAA enforcement staff will not do anything in relation to the sleazy stuff shown during The Scheme and the hoop trials,” Vitale said.
