The recruiting scandal that broke in late September of 2017 rocked the college sports world.

News that the FBI had indicted a number of coaches who engaged in illegal recruiting activities tied to payments made to prospects' families by shoe companies in exchange for playing for those coaches' schools.

For insights on the origins of this scandal, and how it affects the future of college athletics, we turned to Dan Wolken of the USA Today. Dan is a favorite of Tudor Collegiate Strategies, a former NCRC speaker, and a leading college sports reporter and columnist.

Every college coach should follow Dan Wolken on Twitter at @danwolken for his ongoing reporting and insights.
