Federal investigators are in possession of detailed financial records, documents, and wiretaps tied to decertified NBA agent Andy Miller and his former associate Christian Dawkins, sources told Yahoo's Pat Forde and Pete Thamel.
Miller and Dawkins are two subjects of interest in the ongoing FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball. Dawkins was one of 10 men arrested in a related sweep last fall.
According to Forde and Thamel's sources, the information indicates records and spreadsheets of payment to multiple college players and recruits, and includes numerous prominent players likely to be playing in the upcoming NCAA tournament.
"Those spreadsheets cast a wide net throughout college basketball," an anonymous source told Yahoo. "If your school produced a first-round pick in the past three years, be worried."
The New Jersey office of Miller's agency, ASM Sports, was raided by the FBI on Sept. 26, with computers and records confiscated. According to Yahoo's sources, ASM was paying a large number of young basketball prospects in hopes of signing them as clients if they panned out and became NBA-caliber players. This sort of activity runs contrary to the NCAA's strict eligibility requirements and would disqualify those players from college basketball.
It is not known if or when the information held by federal prosecutors will be released, although the NCAA could ask the government to provide it for their own compliance purposes. Thamel reported last week that aspects of the investigation could bring down entire programs and Hall of Fame coaches.
