If you read earlier, Michael Avenatti was back at it again, this time tweeting about Nike giving money to Duke’s Zion Williamson.
Duke’s AD Kevin White has released a statement saying they are looking into the claims.
Kevin White, Duke’s director of athletics, wrote that the University is investigating the allegation like it would any compliance matter.
“We are aware of the allegation and, as we would with any compliance matter, are looking into it. Duke is fully committed to compliance with all NCAA rules and regulations,” White wrote in a statement to The Chronicle. “Every student athlete at Duke is reviewed to ensure their eligibility. With regard to men’s basketball: all recruits and their families are thoroughly vetted by Duke in collaboration with the NCAA through the Eligibility Center’s amateurism certification process.”
The Chronicle has left a voicemail and sent a text message to a number listed for Sampson, and has reached out over Facebook to a profile appearing to be Sampson in a message for comment, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
