University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins says Sean Miller will remain as the Wildcats coach.
Robbins made the statement following an Arizona Board of Regents meeting Thursday, less than three hours after Miller vehemently denied a report that he discussed a six-figure payment to a top recruit to attend the school.
Robbins said Miller will coach Thursday night against Stanford and for the rest of the season.
ESPN reported last Friday, using anonymous sources, that the FBI had Miller on a wiretap discussing a $100,000 payment to Wildcats freshman Deandre Ayton to attend the school.
Miller said the report was "inaccurate and completely false," adding he looked forward to coaching the team.
