Ahhhh the corruption in "amateur" sports.

NEW YORK — Former Arizona assistant coach Book Richardson pleaded guilty Tuesday to one federal bribery charge, saying he knew he broke the law.

Richardson, 46, wiped tears from his eyes after telling the judge he accepted $20,000 in exchange for a promise to steer student-athletes potentially headed to the NBA to would-be agent Christian Dawkins. Prosecutors said Richardson planned to use $15,000 of the money to entice one prized recruit to attend Arizona.

Richardson said he "knew this conduct was wrong."

''Did you know it was against the law?'' Judge Edgardo Ramos asked.

''Yes, your honor,'' Richardson answered.

As part of a plea agreement struck earlier this month, Richardson pleaded guilty to one count of federal funds bribery while four other charges were dismissed. The remaining charge typically carries a sentence of between 18 to 24 months in prison.

Typically endemic. No way did Miller not know. He and Book were close for a dozen years.
