Yahoo.com: Exclusive: Federal documents detail sweeping potential NCAA violations involving high-profile players, schools
So 50 or so kids and their parents had funds sent to them…and? The money is small, an avg of 5k?
Every big recruit gets a some shady benefit. It happens. Nobody is going down.
It’s not stopping either. Car dealers are the worst and not even mentioned. Or getting jobs for mom via an alum.

At worse these players in theory were not eligible to be called “amateur” athletes. Nothing in the article on yahoo implicates that the actual schools were directly involved. I bet the NCAA uses the “loan” part of it to push this under the rug.
Duke, Chapel Cheat, and State all named in report.

Agree
State’s could be a big deal
clt says front page of news and observer, http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/article201728204.html#storylink=mainstage
charlotte observer doesnt mention it.

Not really, as it wasn’t done by the school or anybody on the staff, and wasn’t an impermissible benefit provided by a booster, etc., in an attempt to give the school a competitive advantage. There’s a big difference in these types of violations. It’s certainly an impermissible benefit (a benefit not available to the student body at large), but it wasn’t done to recruit the athletes, keep the athletes eligible, etc. These were players already in school to whom the Agency was giving money in order to encourage the player to sign with the agency when he jumped to the NBA. This didn’t provide any advantage to an “offending” school over a non-offending school in recruiting, play, etc., and, at least thus far, does not appear to have been perpetrated by anyone affiliated with the schools, their coaching staff, their boosters, etc. (though I’m sure some knew about it).
That’s a big difference from what Louisville, CHeat, etc., were doing.
