Will this scandal break the NCAA and create a better college sports system? One can only hope | The News Tribune

About Markelle Fultz’ sudden and mysterious fall from grace as a basketball star, this much is clear: He’ll never be invited to Hec Edmundson Pavilion for the retirement ceremony of his No. 20 jersey.

Fultz was identified Friday as among the more than 25 players who received money from a shady sports agency before they had declared themselves eligible for the NBA draft. According to FBI documents obtained by Yahoo! Sports, Fultz took $10,000. Precisely when the illegal payment was made is one of the many questions simmering as details emerge about a full-tilt scandal.

Another question: Did former Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar realize the most heralded freshman in school history had accepted dirty money?
