Looks like they have text exchanges between Kenny Payne and Nike's Director of EYBL.

While it is bad to be mentioned in the article, the text attributed to Kenny Payne is pretty innocuous. He is asking if Nike paid a particular coach and player, and saying that they are both pretty happy about it. It is ridiculous that Kenny is even mentioned except to imply guilt where none is evident.

There are still no facts that say that UK was involved in any way. I hope that remains true.
