Mark Fox doubled down on his comments from Friday about the growing scandal within the game of college basketball after Saturday’ 93-82 win over LSU.

In a response to a post-game question from ESPN’s David Hale – in town to cover allegations linking LSU to Friday’s story by YAHOO Sports – Fox didn’t hold back, offering his most scathing comments yet.

“I’m disgusted. I’m disgusted with how people have treated our game. It’s absolutely disgusting,” Fox said. “There’s always going to be unethical behavior.”

Fox didn’t stop there.

“Let’s say we give each team $1 million to pay our players. Someone’s not going to like the salary cap and they’re going to find a way around it,” he said. “I’m all in favor of trying to find ways to help these kids more and more - if there’s way to get the kids compensated more, I’m all behind that. But whatever regulations we have in place, we’re supposed to follow them.”

That’s apparently not happening.

On Saturday, ESPN reported that Arizona head coach Sean Miller was wiretapped allegedly discussing a $100,000 bribe to ensure star recruit Deandre Ayton who signed with the Wildcats.

Although Fox did not point fingers at specific individuals, he made it clear why the allegations – in his opinion – are ruining the college game.

“Say you play a baseball game and your team gets four outs per inning and my team gets three. That’s not fair,” he said. “The way people have treated our game, it’s just disgusting.”

So, who is to blame? How has the NCAA handled the problem?

“It starts with the coaches and everybody else,” Fox said. “You ask how the NCAA has handled it, the NCAA is made up of member institutions. How are the institutions handling it? That would be my first question, you know? How are they handling it? Putting their head in the sand and looking the other way or are they dealing with it?

“I sat my team down and we talked about it, why it was important in life to do things the right way.

“I’m past anger, sadness … it’s disgusting. We’re really hurting the game which has been so good to everybody. The game educates kids, it teaches so many lessons, but we’ve treated the game so poorly.”

Fox, in a response to a followup question, said he’s had to back off of a player and lost recruits because of individuals refusing to play by the rules.

“Most of those things that occur happen in the shadows and the darkness. So, most of the time nobody finds out even though you know, your instincts tell what’s going on. Until the FBI got involved, people didn’t know it,” he said. “So, absolutely, we’ve had situations where we didn’t get players because of that reason, but other teams have, too. But I firmly believe that you can still do this job the right way and that’s how we’re going to do it.”
