The new proposal attempts to cover that situation going forward. It applies to family members and other third parties that act like an agent and try to get paid.
They better be damn tight on the language here.
What would stop me from going up to Alabama and asking for money on behalf of every recruit they sign, then?

You would have to have a proven connection to him to be acting on his behalf

ya gotta give 'em more credit than that man. you have season tickets to auburn, a degree from auburn, your kid goes to auburn and you have auburn stickers on your car the ncaa is probably smart enough to know you're an auburn man. personally, i think the language needs to be broad and the enforcement itself be specific and finely tuned.

This was inevitable. First, Cecil Newton broke the spirit of the rules since clearly a parent is an agent/represents their child/student athlete unless the student athlete takes legal steps to emancipate themselves. Second, the "other third parties that act like an agent" obviously must be qualified with the student athletes knowledge/permission, otherwise, anyone could pose as an agent of the student athlete.
The truth is Cecil was certainly acting as an agent on Cam's behalf and there is little doubt in my mind that Cam was aware of it. The ruling really changes nothing relative to my perspective of the case since the NCAA could have easily interpreted that the non-solicitation rule had been broken. Since Cecil as Cam's father was clearly an agent of his son, their interpolation that Cam was not aware seems irrelevant.

A good o'l fashioned Alabama arse Woppin.
I suppose the NCAA will retain the right to punish as they see fit. They could just tell the school to disassociate the offending party without punishing the kid if they so choose.
