A report from Yahoo Sports details an FBI probe into some of the top players and schools in college basketball for allegedly taking money from an NBA agency - a revelation that could have drastic ramifications on college basketball. USA TODAY Sports
ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas didn't hold back during Saturday's College GameDay, addressing the ongoing FBI probe into college basketball recruiting.
During Saturday's show from Lubbock, Texas, Bilas discussed ESPN's explosive report on Arizona coach Sean Miller. According to government sources cited in the ESPN story, Miller was recorded talking with a runner for a sports agent about making a payment of $100,000 for Deandre Ayton to play for the Wildcats.
Bilas called the report "a career-ending thing for Sean Miller. Career-ending. I can't imagine him ever coaching in college again."
He added that Arizona should put Miller on administrative leave and not play Ayton until the investigation is complete. The Wildcats are on the road against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday night, and Bilas said neither Miller nor Ayton should be involved.

"This is a question of risk-management for the University of Arizona," Bilas said.
Fellow ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg agreed with Bilas and predicted that Miller's coaching career at Arizona is over.
"It's incomprehensible ... in that I cannot imagine a scenario -- knowing Sean Miller since he was probably about 5 years old -- that he would be in this situation," Greenberg said.
"... You can't deny the facts. The facts are the facts, and the consequence is real simple. He will not coach another game at Arizona, Deandre Ayton will not play another game at Arizona, and the games that he did play will be forfeited, and Arizona will not play in the NCAA tournament."
