Where does that say anything about fake classes again? The counselors knew the courses were easy. They also knew that the courses required work. Same thing Stanford did when they got busted giving their athletes a list of "easy A" courses that no one else knew about. Pushing athletes towards easy classes is not an NCAA violation.

Not to mention, from the same press release:

"Mr. Wainstein’s investigation found no indication of wrongdoing in any academic departments beyond AFAM, that no current coaches were involved or aware and that the reported wrongdoing ended in 2011."

Also from the report:

"While the ASPSA basketball counselor –McSwain and then Walden – would occasionally suggest these classes, they did not routinely steer players into the classes without the players’ knowledge. More often than not, the basketball players found these classes either through referrals from their teammates – "locker room advising" – or via their direct relationship with Crowder, who always maintained close ties among the basketball team. Moreover, unlike the football players who largely conceded that these classes held little educational value, several of the basketball players insisted that they read extensively and worked hard to produce their papers for these classes."
