Did we have enough of those wins to give back, they may have to settle with just taking some losses to complete the payment

There was more money changing hands between agents and players than has been or will be reported. I want the results from the investigation into payments made to coaches, handlers, AAU programs, and churches to direct a player to a particular program.

Potential impermissible benefits and preferential treatment for players and families (including schools that had players who received $10,000 or more in questionable benefits):

Clearly a list to be glad we are not featured prominently on! But $1,100 really - that's it???

From the article the $1,100 was for meals and a plane ticket

for a "mentor," so the Feds would've gotten their cut out of that.

Is this a criminal probe against ASM in which Blossomgame and others are being investigated? Details reported in post look suspicious and may be wrong from Yahoo. Way to early to react imo.

According to the documents, Miller’s former associate Christian Dawkins requested reimbursement for meals with Blossomgame and his family on March 8, 2016. He also alleges to have paid for a flight for “Jaron Blossomgame’s mentor” less than a week later.
Let's see what the schedule looked like...
Tue, Mar 07
NC State Brooklyn, N.Y. W, 75-61 Stats
Wed, Mar 08
Duke Brooklyn, N.Y. L, 79-72 Stats
National Invitation Tournament
Tue, Mar 14
Oakland Clemson, S.C. L, 74-69 Stats
The Clemson-Duke ACC tourney game took place a 2PM, so if the meal was dinner, we're looking at having had an ineligible player for one game? Which we lost?
And no evidence anyone on the staff knew about these alleged payments?

The headline sounds bad. Then you read the article and it’s expense reimbursement. The guy might not have even taken the player to dinner!
The agent is covering expenses! C’mon man! If that’s all they have....
