The players were "paid" by a YMCA director for reffing games. The total amount was a few thousand bucks ($100 per game). In Fab's case, "academic fraud" was never found by the University's judicial system -- it was assumed by the COI b/e footnotes were added to his paper by an assistant (Fab had already passed and was trying to raise his grade -- he spoke Portuguese). And the marijuana situation .. well that speaks for itself. It wasn't even an NCAA rule.

Compare that to UNC's massive systemic fraud under which whole majors were given away to athletes with little or no work .. 1,500 athletes over an 18 year period. At LV -- $150,000 cash. Hookers. Pitino skimming the Addidas money. I mean .. if those schools committed mass murder, you need to get below the felony level to describe the pitiful little violations SU was hauled up on. I should have compared SU's conduct to speeding, actually. I'm not minimizing anything ... violations were wrong and we want our program to be clean. But comparatively speaking ... we should have been in traffic court compared to these other schools.
