SALT LAKE CITY — Larry Krystkowiak was right: Recruiting for college athletics is a dirty game.
The current University of Utah basketball coach addressed the topic of shady tactics used to recruit players in an address in 2015 at a Hinckley Institute of Politics event.
“Did you know that there’s a lot of cheating in college basketball?” Krystkowiak asked those in attendance.
He went on to describe an instance where an individual connected to a player he was recruiting called him in the middle of the night and said the recruit’s transcript would cost him $50,000, and likely $50,000 more to actually sign him.
