The opening statements in the second trial regarding the NCAA’s college basketball corruption scandal began on Tuesday and the Penn State football program found its way into the spotlight.
According to Louis Martin Blazer, a witness for the federal government, he offered former All-American defensive end and 2009 first-round draft pick Aaron Maybin $10,000 at the behest of a Penn State assistant coach in order to return to school. He also testified that the former assistant coach had a son who played in the NFL.
Matt Norlander, a senior writer for CBS Sports was the first to report the allegations on Tuesday afternoon.
