re: CAMGATE - What YOU need to know

First-Bama would not say anything because they did the wrong thing and paid. 2nd-according to the rules, if your crackhead uncle called and solicited benefits on your behalf with or without your knowlege, you would be ineligible. That may suck but thats the rule.
If the rule stated it was okay as long as the athlete wasn't aware, it would be a much larger issue because much more solicitation of benefits would occur because "its okay as long as he didn't know"
