Smith said he had met with at least four NCAA investigators probing New Level, Elite and Lyles. And while Smith said he willingly provided certain information—texts, phone records, checking account—he said he stopped short of spilling the whole story. But he did inform Fishbein, the owner of Elite, that the NCAA bloodhounds were sniffing around.

Smith originally said Fishbein fired him on the spot. Later he said they had “parted ways.” In an interview Fishbein said Smith’s departure was by “mutual” agreement. He knew Smith had worked for Flenory at New Level Athletics and now he was talking with the NCAA.

“I said to him, ‘Who are you? And why are they asking you these questions?’ ” said Fishbein. “ ‘Are you working for the NCAA? Are you some kind of double agent? What’s your deal?’ I didn’t know whether he was clean or dirty.”
