I guess we will never know but I wonder how you prove someone got things like food or merchandise for free. Is it just the word of the player, do they record conversations etc. I know the police would conduct surveillance and stings but I wonder what the NCAA considers enough evidence.



I think they can use receipts in some capacity. It worked better in the Miami case as the guy was popping thousands of dollars of bottles at clubs and there was an easy connection to know the kids weren't paying for them

Back when Alabama got caught, I was working at a radio station in Tuscaloosa and we were doing a show on the NOA.

As part of background research for the hosts, I emailed whoever the NCAA official in charge of investigations was (that was almost 20 years ago, can't remember the name) and asked what was their adjudication standard in these matters: preponderance of evidence, reasonable doubt, the existence of verifiable links (like receipts, car titles, deposit slips, emails, taped phone calls, etc.)?

The response I received was that the committee was free to decide the credibility of any evidence presented and free to determine their own adjudication standards.

Essentially, this is like that Survivor TV show. They either vote you off the island or they don't.
