On Monday, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorneys’ Office for the Southern District of New York will begin their second college basketball corruption trial in Manhattan’s Thurgood Marshall Courthouse. Structurally, the case is similar to the first one. It involves allegations of fraud, conspiracy and bribery in college basketball and the two defendants—Dawkins and Code—are holdovers from the first trial. This time around, however, the focus is much more on bribes to coaches than on bribes to players and their families.
quote:
During the trial, prosecutors will reference specific instances of alleged bribes. One instance will be March 3, 2016 meeting in South Carolina that involved Dawkins, Sood, Evans and an unnamed cooperating witness. In this trial, a cooperating witness will be someone who has agreed to testify against Dawkins and Code in exchange for favorable treatment by prosecutors.

The playing of audio recordings will also be damning evidence. It’s clear from the government’s complaint and accompanying documents that prosecutors are in possession of recordings of phone conversations involving Dawkins and others.

Another key difference is the identities of the schools that are implicated by allegations. In the first trial, Louisville and Kansas were mainly at issue. This time around it’s South Carolina, Oklahoma State, Arizona, USC and two unnamed schools that are believed to be Creighton and TCU.

The instance will be March 3, 2016 meeting in South Carolina that involved Dawkins, Sood, Evans and an unnamed cooperating witness. In this trial, a cooperating witness will be someone who has agreed to testify against Dawkins and Code in exchange for favorable treatment by prosecutors. One cooperating witness in the college basketball corruption probe is Pittsburgh-based financial advisor Marty Blazer, who aided the FBI as part of his own plea deal. During this meeting in South Carolina, the group allegedly discussed how “Evans could direct and influence certain student-athletes that Evans coached at the University of South Carolina to retain the services of Dawkins, Sood and the cooperating witness.”
