Bruce then called Deon and asked if Illinois had tried to bribe him, and Deon's answer seemed to indicate a positive response. Bruce recorded the conversation and sent it to the NCAA. However, when the NCAA investigated, Thomas claimed he had only said what he did to get Bruce off his back, which was proven to be true by a polygraph test.
