NEW YORK -- Federal prosecutors have announced charges of fraud and corruption in college basketball, including against four coaches.

Auburn assistant Chuck Person, Oklahoma State assistant Lamont Evans, Arizona assistant Emanuel Richardson and USC assistant Tony Bland.

They were among 10 people charged in New York City federal court. Others included managers, financial advisers and representatives of a major international sportswear company. The details will be discussed at a news conference on Tuesday afternoon.

In court papers, prosecutors said the FBI has since 2015 been investigating the criminal influence of money on charges and student-athletes who participate in intercollegiate basketball governed by the NCAA.

They said the probe has revealed numerous instances of bribes paid by athlete advisers, including financial advisers and associate basketball coaches, to assistant and associate basketball coaches to exert influence over student athletes.

good stuff there. it's also notable that the ncaa declared that head coaches are responsible for everything under them. until a couple years ago the assistant coaches would get tossed under the bus whenever corruption charges arose

Pitino should be getting a 10 year show cause for this.

University of Louisville's basketball program has to get the death penalty right? That's 2 violations in 5 years.

I've been in a running twitter fued with a Louisville basketball fan for like 2 years. Time to go fire off a tweet to him. He hates me.

I am absolutely appalled by this series of events. The entire coaching staff needs to be fired for gross negligence. How can you buy the best players in basketball and still not make a final four? U of A Basketball fans deserve answers.
