“If [Williamson’s stepfather] solicited or received money from Kansas, he would be an agent under NCAA rules and his action would affect his son’s competition eligibility at Duke,” said Nebraska law professor Josephine Potuto, a member of the NCAA Committee on Infractions for many years."
“An agent’s activity on behalf of a prospect renders the prospect ineligible under NCAA amateurism rules,” Potuto said. “An amateurism violation affects an athlete at all NCAA schools. Amateurism violations are not dependent on where the athlete enrolls.”
Potuto cited the so-called Newton Rule, a bylaw passed by the NCAA in January 2012, in her explanation. But she included a caveat in relation to how she would view such a case if she were involved in a Committee on Infractions hearing on the matter."
A.) The NCAA has already said it will defer to the FBI's findings and will not do an independent investigation, so Duke declaring Zion eligible already is just smoke in a mirror. I bet the "right people" in Indianapolis probably got a big kick out of that one.
B.) This rule too could involve Bam, but the fact that "BAD LOAN" was written next to the name, "BAM", and did not list his legal name like others (plus my bias), than it makes me think UK is in the clear.
C.) I believe I read the same story about Chris Duhon several years ago nor were the Bagley's shy about their million dollar lifestyle either. I would also be interested to find out who would win a spelling contest between Zion, Duvall, and Darrell Arthur.
D.) News about Kansas gets worse everyday and it doesn't bother me.
E.) I bet Clemson is pissed. [laughing]
