Merl Code was one of those players that saw the play happen before it happened. He played with love, passion, joy and made those around him better. He played his college hoops at Clemson and went on to play professionally overseas, including a stint with the Denver Nuggets. He later worked as a sneaker rep for both Nike and Adidas where he would eventually find the game he loved betraying him. Merl dives deep into his basketball journey from start to finish. He shares stories about his recruiting process, Clemson, playing professionally, his time at Nike and Adidas, and his book titled Black Market. Merl also speaks his truth of how the justice system failed, how he ended up spending 5 and a half months in Federal Prison, and what's next for him and his journey.We can't thank Merl Code enough for taking the time to share his story.

Merl Code, the former college basketball player and Nike and Adidas shoe rep who infamously became the fall guy in the 2017-2018 college basketball corruption scandal. In his explosive new book BLACK MARKET: An Insider's Journey into the High-Stakes World of College Basketball (3/1/22; Hanover Square), Code will tell his side of the story and expose the seedy underbelly of college hoops, and a system that disproportionally affects young athletes of color. Merl's sentencing appeal was recently denied by the Supreme Court in the FBI's investigation into the recruiting scandal. Merl has been sentenced to 6 months, and was to report to prison in February. BLACK MARKETS is an unprecedented insider account of the profit-driven college basketball programs and the storied coaches who lead them. Code details how NCAA amateurism rules can be used to take advantage of young athletes who are prohibited by the NCAA's bylaws from receiving compensation until they go pro. He shares stories of the families and students and what's at stake for them, and pulls back the curtain on the systemic problem of using players for financial gain in college athletics.
