Assuming reports are true. All below is pure SPECULATION.
Would be really surprised if Sean Miller just started paying players the last 1-2 years.
If he paid them from 2009 to 2011 while at AZ, do you think Sean and Archie discussed? Brothers usually discuss a lot, but perhaps Sean shielded Archie? If Archie knew, NCAA and IU sanctions coming. Archie probably could not be implicated without Sean or Book (assistant) calling him out. If Sean or Book would do plea deal, likely would have to tell them everything.
If Archie saw this at AZ, are we sure he was clean at Dayton? I know
Wabler and Sullivan crystal clear about runnig a clean program, but a tad nervous here. Cannot control bad apples. Again no evidence Archie did anything wrong at AZ or Dayton.
If Sean and Book did this at AZ, did they do it at
Xavier? Again, if either does a deal, they will likely recount all issues. Xavier should be even more nervous than Dayton. IF Sean did it at Xavier and if Sumner took $, they are in trouble. I think AD and President of Xavier (like Dayton) want to run a clean program.
This is only 1 agency and 1 shoe company so far ...
All points above are pure SPECULATION.
Again, don’t think we should be throwing rocks.
