I would suggest deleting the word “EMERGENCY” from the title, please. Not a panic situation.
“Special,” more like it.
$.02, friendly amendment.

Sam and Jason hop on an Emergency Pod to give us a rundown of the breaking news from the FBI NCAA investigation. Wendell Carter and Duke are implicated, but not in a way that seems at all serious. Have a listen and we will explain everything!
-Jason "I am both mad at some of the reporting on this story and also cautious... folks, the idea that this is the meat of the FBI investigation is laughable" Evans
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

The dinner with Villanova coaches is interesting. Villanova isn't mentioned in the Yahoo stories, but someone here posted that Andy Miller's client list included a lot of their former players.
Was it the runner who had dinner with the Villanova coaches and Izzo or was it Miller himself?
Who is the runner?
Regarding the meals that Christian Dawkins had with Tom Izzo, I stumbled across this article about Dawkins today.

They obviously have a history. Dawkins is from Saginaw, and his father was the popular coach at Saginaw High School who had coached Draymond Green among others. There's a very sad story in the article about Dawkins' younger brother, but it indicates Tom Izzo knew the family pretty well.
Well, it took roughly an hour for events to make the pod at least a little bit dated. But, I don’t think the Sean Miller story invalidates anything we say on the pod.
I sure am glad I mentioned there could be more than just this expense report though! Ha!
Jason “and Duke fans should be careful about laughing too much at AZ... until we know the full extent of all this, we all should be at least a little bit worried” Evans

It was Christian Dawkins expense report that had items for meals with Izzo and with "Villanova coaches." As I said on the pod, there is nothing wrong with coaches having meals with someone associated with an agent, but the fact that it was an agent and associate who were so aggressive about paying players would really bother me if I was a fan of those programs.
-Jason "one point I wish I had made on the pod... an impact of all this is that I bet folks are a lot more reluctant to cheat going forward... at least, I would hope that is an impact" Evans

I enjoyed the podcast
In response to call for things to discuss in next podcast, I'm sure you'll talk about Sean Miller and Arizona. I'd love to hear your take on the theory I posted in another thread:
"No clue, but I assume Miller has known since September that the FBI had taped calls of him.
I think the FBI arrested 4 assistant coaches because they want to flip them against the head coaches."
I know we aren't in the FBI or in Miller's head. But it's a theory. We'll see what happens from here.
