Maybe the great aliens from the ancient times have finally changed their loyalties!

I would be more worried if this had come out six months ago.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

but I’ve always thought benefits given to someone who didn’t attend the benefitters school of choice weren’t against the rules. Is that true, so that if say I was paying off a kid to go to Georgia than chose to attend Clemson instead, he’d be clean?

amateur status?

I think the problem would be the fact that it would affect their “amateur status” . I don’t think Orson received any benefits but if a player did receive say, cash, then their ability to play college sports as an “amateur” could be called into question.

I could be wrong but that’s how i understand it….

I think that's exactly the issue, so...

Andre Debose and Bryce Brown, who received benefits, may get suspended for a game or two.

That also is my understanding.

If Shapiro’s account of giving Orson a tour of his U-jersey-filled closet is accurate, then an infraction arose from it. However, if there were no actual benefits provided to Orson, he’s cool; what remains is an impermissible contact by a U booster, which goes against Miami.

$300 rule?

I am trying to remember but wasn’t there are rule that we all were forced to learn about last year with the AJ Green Jerseygate 2k10 fiasco? I seem to remember something about $300 was the limit before it becomes a major violation. Anyone remember?
