Are you kidding? Why is the FBI involved? This is exactly what the FBI does.
Well, I said "the feds." From a policy standpoint, I don't see why college basketball should be a matter of federal concern. Is this a tax evasion issue? If so, I wouldn't expect the FBI to be involved. If not, why is this (or should this be) a matter of federal concern?

Book Richardson sentenced to prison for 3 months. This is why the FBI is involved and not simply the NCAA

Good question. Surprisingly prescient 2010 article responds neatly. Call out that summarizes:

"Private commercial bribery is illegal under the laws of most U.S. states. ... The Department of Justice, however, has used state laws, in combination with wire fraud statutes and the Travel Act, to prosecute domestic private commercial bribery."

Gotta figure Arizona and LSU will be the first two to receive notice from the NCAA. Wade should hope the FBI hasn't turned over more info on him to the NCAA then was already made public through the trial.
