Let's see -- a few hard working assistant coaches make a little cash and some of the best basketball players in the country get paid by shoe companies a few years early. The horror! Throw everybody in jail!Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

It's a dumb system the way the NCAA exploits the top men's basketball and football players. They should all be payed.
This is kind of a victimless crime except for the schools who played by the rules being at a disadvantage.

One potential issue is the tax reporting. How many of the recipient players/families/coaches included the payments as taxable income?

But I definitely think there should not be an age limit to enter the NBA/NFL/professional women's volleyball league.

The case against Chuck Person is a good example. He needed money and got hooked up with a "financial planner (i.e. fraudster)" that paid him to connect him with a player. Person then tells the player that this is the guy that you need to take care of your money and the kid says "I trust you 100%." Person then lies to the kid's mother that this guy is a guy that managed his and Charles Barkley's money when he was in the NBA. Person does not inquire as to whether the adviser has qualifications, abilities or can deliver any of the promised benefits ( he has been involved in schemes defrauding people for years, and he is an FBI informant).
That is the fraudulent element. If it were just NCAA stuff no biggie. These coaches are alleged to have used their positions to manipulate players and families to take actions with only their own bottom lines at heart.
