The NCAA took a hit Tuesday when senior United States district judge Lewis Kaplan ruled against the organization’s access to evidence uncovered in the FBI’s investigation into corruption in college basketball, according to Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports.

"[The] materials relate to potential rules violations of third-parties not on trial in this action, which might be regarded by certain segments of the public as scandalous conduct," Kaplan wrote in a 23-page opinion. "Disclosure carries the risk of certain significant reputational and professional repercussions for those referenced in these documents.”

Several college assistant coaches, an Adidas executive and an aspiring sports agent were implicated and charged in the investigation.

Former Arizona assistant Emmanuel “Book” Richardson was sentenced to three months in prison and two years of supervised release on bribery charges after he pleaded guilty to accepting $20,000 in bribes in exchange for pushing Arizona players toward agent Christian Dawkins.

As previously reported by Matt Norlander of CBSSports.com, "Video of Richardson meeting with undercover agents, swapping stories and taking $5,000 is the first of two hits that ultimately led to Richardson being charged in the case. That's when Richardson verbally agreed to be part of Dawkins' scheme. In it, Richardson lays out how Dawkins will get Alkins in the mix so long as Dawkins makes a trip to Arizona's campus at some point to establish contact and entrench himself with Alkins and his cousin.”

Former Oklahoma State assistant head basketball coach and prior to that an assistant for the Cowboys and at South Carolina Lamont Evans was sentenced to three months in prison after pleading guilty to charges in January stemming from the FBI investigation into bribery activities involving college assistant coaches, shoe executives, and representatives and financial advisors. Evans pleaded guilty to accepting $22,000 in bribes to send athletes at both South Carolina and Oklahoma State to certain representatives and financial advisors.

Former Auburn assistant Chuck Person received 200 hours of community service and two years of supervision by the probation department. Person is alleged to have received $91,500 in bribes to steer two Auburn basketball players to a financial adviser, with hopes of the adviser representing them when they joined the professional basketball ranks.

Lastly, former USC assistant Tony Blend was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and two years probation for his role. Bland admitted to taking $4,100 in bribes in exchange for sending players to Dawkins.

Dawkins was found guilty of bribery and conspiracy to commit bribery, while former Adidas consultant Merl Code was found guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery, according to Jeff Borzello and Mark Schlabach of ESPN. Both of them received six months in prison.

The NCAA has been trying for months to garner more evidence, but its most recent attempt was deemed unsuccessful.
