Summary
On Thursday, Book Richardson was sentenced to three months in federal prison. It was a history-making decision by U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos. Matt Norlander was in the courtroom, as he has been throughout both trials, and brings perspective and details from Thursday and beyond. He and Gary Parrish spend the first 40 minutes of the podcast discussing Richardson's sentence, Arizona's next steps, the NCAA's unfolding investigation and why Richardson said he didn't believe Sean Miller paid for players. After that, the guys touch on the new NCAA rules for 2019-2020 (48:30), most notably the extended 3-point line. They wrap by hitting on the 10-15 teams with the best odds to win the 2020 national title (58:30).

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Gary Parrish. It's Thursday, June 6, 2019. Welcome back to the CVS Sports |
| 0:13.4 | Island College basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camel fighting and leaky |
| 0:17.2 | black. Matt Norlander is here with me and we have a few different things to get to including |
| 0:21.3 | some rule changes that are going to affect the sport. But I want to start with the big |
| 0:24.4 | news of the day and that's the former Arizona Assistant Book Richardson was sentenced to |
| 0:28.7 | three months in prison after pleading guilty in January to a federal bribery charge. So |
| 0:34.6 | Norlander let's start here because you were in Manhattan at the courthouse earlier today. |
| 0:40.3 | For people who might not have followed this case on anything other than a surface level, |
| 0:45.2 | what did book Richardson get caught doing? What did he confess to doing? Does he belong |
| 0:51.0 | in federal prison? |
| 0:52.0 | You know what I'm going to take those in the property here. So what did he get caught |
| 0:55.3 | doing? A number of things and if you're an avid podcast listener, I know you're well aware |
| 0:59.3 | of this. But let's hit on this because it is a significant headline. I think in the history |
| 1:04.0 | of college athletics, what we had here was history making and I think we're going to get |
| 1:07.3 | a repeat of it on Friday with Lamont Evans of formerly a vocal estate in South Carolina |
| 1:11.5 | and I think we'll get it again with Chuck person in Auburn. But I'll save that for just |
| 1:15.0 | a couple minutes down the road here. Book Richardson was caught on videotape and on wire |
| 1:19.8 | tap discussing and agreeing to ship Arizona players and prospects who would in theory |
| 1:27.7 | become Arizona players to Christian Dawkins, fledgling sports management company, which |
| 1:33.1 | was called living out your dreams or Lloyd for short. At the time Richardson, every assistant |
| 1:38.3 | coach, many of the men who were eventually charged had no idea that the company was only |
