I don't follow that distinction at all - if the athlete is ineligible for seeking illicit benefits, and neither the parents nor the athlete can receive illicit benefits - why is it ok for the parent to seek illicit benefits?
just doesn't make sense - either the parent/child are being considered as equivalent or they aren't

That's where you have to break into the legal speak and the way the NCAA worded their bylaws. NCAA rules states that player or agent must agree to receive benefits. They don't have to actually receive them but have to agree to it. Legally an agreement is between two or more persons, and since MSU said "No Way" then there was not the agreement in the legal sense. IIRC I do remember the way the SEC bylaws are written that the Slive could have suspended Newton. But without actual money shown to change hands right now there is nothing right now that the newtons have done that is against the NCAA rules as they were written in '10.

The distinction is simple. Reggie bush was found to have received money. To compare the penalties auburn woudl face before you can prove cam took money is irresponsible and foolhardy.
I see your point about ineligibility. However, that was ruled on and at some point with the facts you have, that the NCAA deemed his father soliciting money from MSU and then being eligible at auburn, you've just got to accept it and move on. If the NCAA found/finds he recieved money (like bush) prayers will be answered and auburn will burn.
Also the reason im making that comparison/distinction is because it was eloquently asked why USC got fricked. USC got fricked because reggie bush was proven to have received improper benefits. Something that has yet to be show with auburn.
