Franchise_08 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I guess we should all get used to having a 6'2" power forward from Washington, Mo. for now on with the way we botched this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is JUST a student and not a recruit or an athlete, then anyone can give him tickets, for example, right behind the Billiken's bench. If he has some status that prohibits this, then the student section is, practically speaking, his only real option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the NCAA would consider it an impermissible benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the NCAA would consider it an impermissible benefit. Not if he is just a regular student. I can give a regular student (a non-athlete) anything I want and it happens all of the time. However, boosters cannot give student-athletes or recruits ANYTHING. At this point, is Willie anything more than a regular student? In reality, he is probably going to sit in the student section and no one is going to give him anything, but it is an interesting situation.
