In this CBB situation, it appears most of the benefits have been provided


Feb 23, 2018, 11:23 AM

by agents and folks outside of these programs. You probably have a mixed group of coaches and staffs that knew and coaches and staffs that didn’t know. Is this a situation where the NCAA should, instead of punishing schools and coaches (unless proof of their knowledge surfaces), blame themselves and put in different enforcement rules as it relates to agents/shoe companies/AAU?

It will be very interesting to say the least. You are talking punishment of close to half of your sport.

In the past, if a player was caught taking money or impermissible benefits, the NCAA would retroactively count that player as ineligible and the school would have to forfeit all games in which that player participated. See the Reggie Bush case at USC as an example.

The problem here will be just how widespread the money went. It will essentially be like the heavy doping days in MLB or pro cycling. Essentially you will just have to wipe away all of the records because there won't be anyone left who was not involved some way or another.

Exactly. NCAA rules are aimed at school boosters giving

out benefits that gives their school an unfair advantage.

In the case of these agents, they don't give a #### where the player plays as long as he signs with them before turning pro. To punish a school that could not have known a player received benefits that nullified their amateur status does nothing to stop shoe companies and agents from trying to tie more players to their brand going forward.
