While the initial scope of the FBI’s probe into college basketball corruption had a heavy focus on both Adidas and Adidas-affiliated programs, the probe now involves schools affiliated with all three major shoe companies. Maryland is the latest, putting Under Armour on the board! [mild applause]
Some of the details, from the AP’s Aaron Beard:
A March subpoena to Maryland sought communications or any information regarding possible improper payments to a former Maryland player — the school redacted the name, citing federal privacy laws — or that player’s family. It also sought the personnel file of men’s basketball assistant coach Orlando Ranson, as well as documents or communications regarding or involving Christian Dawkins — an agent runner and one of 10 men originally charged in the case last fall.
