Assistant coaches from four schools -- Arizona, Auburn, Oklahoma State and USC -- pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from aspiring business manager Christian Dawkins and others to influence their players to sign with his fledgling sports agency. Coaches at a handful of other schools, including Creighton, Kansas, Louisville, NC State and Oregon, allegedly made offers of improper payments to players and their families or were providing them with payments.

Creighton aide Preston Murphy, named in FBI investigation, resigns
Murphy's name had come up last spring in the federal trial of aspiring sports agent Christian Dawkins. Murphy allegedly was paid $6,000 in 2017 to steer prospective pros to Dawkins. An undercover FBI agent was in the Las Vegas hotel room where the alleged bribe was paid.

Oklahoma State receives notice of allegations tied to corruption probe
The allegation includes one Level I violation involving former associate head coach Lamont Evans, who was sentenced in June to three months in prison for accepting bribes to push players to certain agents and financial advisors. Evans was among four assistant coaches arrested in September 2017 following an FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball recruiting.

Stanford says 7 coaches were approached about admissions bribery

Stanford University says a review found that the mastermind behind the college admissions bribery scandal had approached seven of its coaches about potential sports recruits over the past decade. Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne said in a statement Tuesday that only one coach went along with the scheme proposed by college consultant Rick Singer.

Former sailing coach John Vandemoer has pleaded guilty to charges that he accepted $270,000 in contributions to the program for agreeing to recommend two prospective students for admission. Tessier-Lavigne said that as a result of the scandal and the university's review, Stanford has adopted policies to bolster admission oversight. Dozens of people, including Hollywood stars, coaches and others have been charged in the wide-ranging scheme. Singer has pleaded guilty to charges including racketeering conspiracy.

NC State disputes NCAA allegation of $40,000 Dennis Smith Jr. payment
In a 46-page response to the NCAA notice of allegations that the university received in July, NC State officials questioned whether there was evidence -- as laid out in last year's federal trial that Gassnola actually delivered $40,000 to former assistant coach Orlando Early, who was supposed to forward the money to Shawn Farmer, Smith's former trainer, who was then supposed to give the money to Smith's father.
