If he paid for a meal what can actually be done? And who exactly is the guy?
Duke may have had zero knowledge of the meal but this could make him ineligible for amateurism competition
If i read correctly he’s an agent. You can meet with an agent, there is nothing illegal about that. If we are talking about a meal, i mean, again from Dukes standpoint what can be done there? Nothing. But that is getting into the weeds. Basically the NCAA would have to go through do their own research and figure it out. Again, i wouldn’t be too worried about it, we normally do our due diligence but is there really any way to stop this type of thing?
We’re talking about meals and plane tickets. This is such horsecrap. These violations are garbage. I can see giving Dennis Smith 75,000 bucks as bad, but a freaking meal? Who cares.
He didn’t even say if he had a meal or not. They just list a bunch of players and said these players and or their families may have met with or had a meal with (not necessarily paid by) this person. From our standpoint there is zero here, zero. His mom had a meal with the agent- the bill was $106 according to the spreadsheet. That is on her....meaning she either paid for whatever she had, or it’s on her to pay back her portion.
Now if your school has a kid listed here and there are thousands of dollars attached to it- that would be a concern because it means your school didn’t do their due diligence.
And as said before it isnt illegal to meet with an agent.

You are correct timo! Hopefully the compliance department is up to date on everything.
Stole this from the main board:
Tip of the iceberg. This is just agency money from one place. There are other agents and then the shoe money still to come. No one is safe at this point. Personally, I don’t mind blowing the whole thing up so we can quit pretending this is amateurism.
they do and have created some of the biggest headlines lately in regards to sports
If you look, isn’t this balance sheet from 2016 and wouldn’t that make Carter a Junior in high school?
Yea. At least there is no mention of any of our players receiving huge amounts of loans like some of the players listed on there.
Tony Bradley's on that list, yet ol Roy says he's not worried....Actually thats probably the best security for Duke. If Bradley is found guilty of something that banner has to come down right??? Lol, we know thats not happening- Duke's in the clear....

Ehhh... doesn't look great, but honestly looks so big it might almost be a "too big to fail" sort of thing.
don't think it's a huge deal, but i think the issue comes with carter still playing ... the safe approach would be to sit him until it's investigated, but how long does an investigation last? since he's a OAD does he just go ahead and call it a year?
No thats an admission of guilt, and I see no reason for him to stop playing.WAY too much yet to play out....

This is just from one agency. Other agents were doing similiar stuff. Then there’s the shoe money. It’s going to get messy.
Why would agents even keep records like this? Morons.
A little more detail on the Carter lunch. Another ex Tar Heel named too:

That's what I'm thinking. We have tips of people wanting to shoot schools up but we spend years in this crap. It's a joke and who cares about a meal really
$106 lunch.... How is this even of concern? What if Carter's mom gave this agent cash and he pockets it and put the entire meal on his bill.
I mean there's so many variables here, doesn't seem like anything that will have any legs.
This seems like a colossal waste of taxpayer money though.

The NCAA and the schools themselves make so much cash off these guys. I get that you have to have strict rules to maintain amatuerism, but meals? When I was a Federal employee we had clear rules about impermissible benefits to protect our responsibilities to the taxpayer, but we could receive up to a 25 dollar meal and accept small gifts. We were certainly allowed to accept a plane ticket or a waiver for the cost of a meeting to go speak about our research. Once at the meeting, we were not allowed to get massages, personal favors or free casino money. There were common sense rules for that kind of stuff. The NCAA is so messed up. The whole system is a farce.
Haha go look over at THR. They are literally too dumb to notice that Carter and Bradley are accused of essentially the same thing. They lump Carter in with DSJ and Bam
If that’s all Duke is involved in this mess I’m good, because it isn’t illegal to have a meal bought for you. NC State, UK, should be very worried. Seems like some of their players took the most money.
I saw that. Can’t fix stupid. You’re going to see some gross over reactions on every board, ours included.
It could only cost them if the money was not paid back in a timely fashion.
I am curious as to how tomorrow goes. If we see Carter playing then I think the Duke compliance people have said "we are good". If he does not play...
This whole system is a joke. My guess is people will look back at this system 50-100 years from now and not even understand how it was allowed.
Josh Okogie was suspended 6 games for receiving impermissible benefits of $750, while Tadric Jackson was suspended 3 games for benefits valued at $525. If it's only $106, that should be like a two tv timeout punishment.
By NCAA rules: “in which the value of the benefit is $200 or less, the eligibility of the student athlete shall not be affected conditioned upon the student athlete’s repayment of the benefit to a charity of his or her choice”
Yahoo is full of Fake News but I want to hear from K not a CNN type outlet. Never trust the NCAA.
