The FBI Scandal has cast a looming shadow on college basketball this year, despite an interesting season and an even more interesting NCAA Tournament.
And now, a new report by Oregonlive.com is shedding light on an NCAA loophole that is allegedly “common knowledge” in AAU circles.
The loophole walks a fine line between endorsing teams and direct endorsements of players, the report says.
“But the line between throwing money and swag at elite teams and direct endorsement of promising players has blurred, particularly when the parents of top athletes appear to benefit, experts told The Oregonian/OregonLive,” the report reads.
