It is a lot easier to get away with this stuff in places where the talent actually comes from. Then, it just becomes a matter of taking care of mom and dad. A job, whatever. Stuff that’s impossible to prove.
Edit: One of the things I found interesting about the article is that it disputes the notion that players were just opening up envelopes of cash after games at Oklahoma State like was alleged. That sort of thing is too obvious.
The same Oklahoma State team where it was alleged student “hostesses” were being very, uh, friendly with recruits.
