No matter how small this is his name is on the list with Virginia Basketball beside it.

I don't care how anyone feels on the board how small this is but it now erases the idea that Tony Bennett can use this as a recruiting tool in the the sense that "Send your son to Virginia as you can see Virginia & the players associated with the program have absolutely nothing to do with the NCAA investigation"

I'm hoping there is a reasonable explanation for this but only Malcolm Brogdon can give it. But it still casts a shadow of doubt.

  • The mother of current Michigan State player Miles Bridges.
Additional Dawkins expense reports list meals and meetings with players or their families while in college or high school, and before they turned pro. While small amounts, these could be categorized as extra benefits under NCAA rules. It appears Dawkins paid for the meals, which could be an important distinction.

“There’s nothing wrong with meeting with an agent,” said Atlanta-based lawyer Stu Brown, a veteran of representing schools and coaches in NCAA compliance cases. “But then it becomes a question of who pays for the meal.”

Among the players and/or families who are listed as meeting with or having meals with Dawkins:

  • Current Alabama player Collin Sexton.
  • Current Duke player Wendell Carter.
  • Current Kentucky player Kevin Knox.
  • Former North Carolina player Tony Bradley.
  • Former Creighton player Justin Patton.
  • Former Texas player Prince Ibeh.
  • Former Notre Dame player Demetrius Jackson.
  • Former Vanderbilt player Wade Baldwin.
  • Former Virginia player Malcolm Brogdon.
  • Former Iowa State player Monte Morris.
The breadth of names, schools and current players could offer a vexing test for both university compliance offices and the NCAA’s enforcement division. The sheer number of potential cases and varying degrees of potential violations are vast. There’s also an overriding factor of the ongoing criminal investigations. A complicating facet to this will be the NCAA’s potential inability to view key documents related to this case, because those details not in the criminal complaints are sealed under protective order. In terms of eligibility, the NCAA and the institution may be prohibited from interviewing people associated with the case because of the parallel criminal cases. (The initial onus to decide is almost always on the school in an eligibility case).

No one is certain how the NCAA enforcement office would potentially handle the cases. The NCAA has been in constant contact with the feds but so far has had minimal direct involvement with the case, as they’ve been careful to respect the boundaries of the criminal investigations. The likely scenario, according to Brown, would be for the schools to assess the credibility of what’s in the documents and the severity of the potential violations.

“There’s potential for chaos, as it depends on the number of cases and the amount of information that’s released,” Brown said. “There could be inconsistency as a subset of chaos, as different schools may very validly assess the credibility of [the cases] differently.”

Edit: I changed the name of the thread. No reason to be grossly negligent of fact -- Brad
