...who has a player whose parent/uncle/grandparent/sibling asks for money and the country finds out about it. It doesn't even matter if they get the money. Now that the floodgates are open, this will probably happen next season. And people are going to be brazen about it. People are going to look in the TV cameras and laugh when they get discovered. It will be impossible to prove that a kid knew he was being shopped. We all know this is true.
Agree, the NCAA just turned college athletics into the biggest legal whorehouse in the world, until, of course, they close the loophole

Based on what Kevin Lennon said, it is all about the degree of responsibility of the student-athlete.
Cecil can ask for money. That is a violation.
Auburn and/or MSU could pay Cecil money. That is even a more serious violation.
Still, neither would have resulted in any punishment for Cam since he would have had the same degree of responsibility in both cases, which is zero.
Many Auburn fans think Cam's eligibility was saved because no money changed hands. That is irrelevant. In the eyes of the NCAA, Cecil could have done absolutely anything and could have been given anything by anyone and Cam would have still had the same degree of responsibility....which is zero, because Cam didn't know.
What will be interesting is when we find out who the first college team is with multiple student-athletes whose families were paid over a million bucks. How embarrassing would it be for a team like that to lose to a team who plays it 'straight'?!?
