Jim Boeheim’s not surprised by the FBI’s probe into college basketball

Friday was a huge day for college basketball, as stories came out from both Yahoo and ESPN around scandal in the sport.

Early in the morning, Yahoo’s story named numerous major programs, along with current and past players, involved in alleged agent payments of varying degrees. Some of the dollar amounts were quite large. Most of them weren’t at all, and aren’t even enough money to create a real NCAA violation ($200 minimum there). Also, most of the situations in the Yahoo report described money exchanging hands away from schools — all on the agent side.
