Sood pleads guilty in NCAA corruption case
>>As part of the plea agreement, sources told ESPN on Friday, Sood is expected to testify against the other defendants in at least two of the government's three criminal cases related to college basketball corruption.
Sood and Christian Dawkins, a former AAU director and runner for former NBA agent Andy Miller, formed their own sports management firm in 2017. Sood was accused of arranging at least $22,000 in payments to Evans and also directing payments to Bland and Richardson in exchange for their influence.
Adidas executives James Gatto and Merl Code and Dawkins are scheduled to go on trial in U.S. District Court in New York on Oct. 1.
Former Auburn assistant Chuck Person and former NBA referee Rashan Michel are scheduled for trial on Feb. 4; Bland, Evans, Dawkins and Richardson are scheduled for trial on April 22.<<
