As the federal trial in NCAA men’s basketball corruption entered Day 2, former Washington Huskies star Markelle Fultz was implicated in a scandal by a former financial adviser.
Munish Sood, who pleaded guilty to conspiring with three men to facilitate money from Adidas to the families of high-profile recruits, told a jury Wednesday he worked with another sports agent to give a $30,000 loan to people connected with Fultz and an undisclosed amount to associates of former Utah star Kyle Kuzma while they were still enrolled at their universities, ESPN reported.
Sood said he made the payments at the request of NBA agent Stephen Pina of ASM Sports.
