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.
I thought I understood your argument but then you added in another sentence - now what we are left with would be a pretty irrational policy - because in order to be punished for seeking illicit benefits you have to find someone willing to provide them?
that doesn't make sense to me - seems to me the spirit of the NCAA rules has been to rule players ineligible for seeking or receiving illicit benefits... and it seems to me the NCAA is perfectly capable of twisting rulings in whatever way they wish depending on the circumstance
The result of that this time was a pretty major PR disaster - with most people outside auburn thinking the NCAA twisted and turned the situation to avoid disqualifying a probable BCS bowl participant

Thats why they are considering changing the language to include seeking whereas before it did not.
So before you could seek and if not reciprocated, as in agree upon, was not against and now with the addition of the word it is.
