Michael Avenatti Says He’ll “Cooperate” With NCAA, Mentions Duke

notable attorney michael avenattiNEW YORK, NY - APRIL 13: Michael Avenatti, attorney for Stormy Daniels, speaks to reporters following a court proceeding regarding the search warrants served on President Donald Trump's longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen, at the United States District Court Southern District of New York, April 13, 2018 in New York City. Cohen and his lawyers are asking the court to block Justice Department officials from reading documents and materials related to his relationship with President Donald Trump that they believe should be protected by attorney-client privilege. Officials with the FBI, armed with a search warrant, raided Cohen's office and two private residences earlier in the week. (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)

Earlier this week, just minutes after announcing he’d be holding a press conference to disclose a college basketball scandal involving Nike, attorney Michael Avenatti was arrested by the Southern District of New York for allegedly trying to extort the company. He’s since been released on bail, and he’s been naming names.

Tuesday morning, Avenatti alleged that former Arizona star DeAndre Ayton and current Oregon star Bol Bol were paid by Nike before they committed to their respective schools. Tuesday night, Avenatti was back on Twitter with more accusations.

Avenatti implied that former UNLV player Brandon McCoy is also involved. He then tweeted something vague about Duke, which got some attention.

“And Duke…” is all he posted.

I will fully cooperate with the NCAA to my maximum ability. Names, dates, amounts, texts, emails, bogus invoices, bank records, wire payments, cash payments, etc. – ALL OF IT. Let’s talk about the truth and facts of what really happened and let the chips fall where they may.

What’s the real reason McCoy – a 5 star recruit – went to struggling UNLV? What does Shaun Manning, his “guardian,” know about it? https://t.co/c5BqHeLPHU

And Duke…

There is a long legal process that’s going to play out here. We won’t know for some time what information Avenatti has, if any. Still, this can’t make Blue Devils fans feel great.

Duke, this past Sunday, survived an absolute thriller against UCF. The Blue Devils are the favorite to cut down the nets in two weeks.

We’ll keep you updated. This situation seems to get crazier by the hour.
