Apparently we're forgetting what was in those messages, and what he admitted to. It wasn't just a light bill. It was also his "rent." And it's obvious that this wasn't just some one-time hardship (which wouldn't matter anyway). They had a payment system set up that involved randomly texting coaches/AD staff. It's so ridiculous that the assistant AD was surprised and mildly annoyed that he was asking for more than was agreed to.
If all of this shite is on the up-and-up, it wouldn't be handled over shady text messages like this.

"Assistance fund:
If an exchange of money occurred only to help with rent, that could be allowed by the NCAA Student Assistance fund.
The NCAA manual says “The Student Assistance Fund is intended to provide direct benefits to student-athletes or their families as determined by conference offices.
As a guiding principal the fund shall be used to assist student-athletes in meeting financial needs that arise in conjunction with participation in intercollegiate athletics.
The NCAA cites a few clear items for which money from this fund cannot be used, but it provides a great deal of leeway for schools to make decisions on how to use the money to help athletes. It appears that rent or utilities could fall within the guidelines."
