CBS Sportsline.com has posted a story saying that NCAA schools across the country have steered more than $147,000 in game fees to a company co-founded by Los Angeles City College coach Mike Miller, suggesting the "guarantees" give the schools a leg up in recruiting LACC students. CBS plays it as a brewing scandal, with quotes from concerned college officials, but Miller tells the website, "If the angle you're going at is there's some kind of quid pro quo -- there isn't. Business is business, and people are allowed to make money. Looks can be deceiving, because there's no quid pro quo here."
