While I do love watching the service academies play football all three have had major scandals in their time... Air Force and Navy have had big sex scandals just in the last decade.
I hear you, but was speaking more to hanky panky with regards to college athletics than actual hanky panky...
Have an upvote for the heck of it.

Army had one of the more famous cases of it back in the day. Back when they were really riding high, coming off a 1950 season where they finished 2nd in the AP polls, they had a massive honor code violation where it was revealed that several football players had been getting the answers to tests in advance.
A lot of players were dismissed from the school, including the head coach's son and 3 players who went on to play in the NFL. They went 2-7 the next season and wound up 6-11-1 over a two year span. That accounts for a third of all losses Blaik had at Army in his 18 years there.

All Power 5 schools are doing something under the table and probably in all major sports, including football, hoops and baseball.
I think in a lot of instances the schools themselves may not even know everything that goes on. Whether it's a booster that comps a meal, discounted deals on a car or rent on an apartment. Some of it is boosters good faith not knowing or not caring what the trivial NCAA rules are. It will continue to go on under the current NCAA model as there is no way for the NCAA to enforce it all.
