You might want to ask some of the non-athletes or non-revenue sport athletes if that is really the case. They could argue reasonably in court that it was not.
Nobody likes their specific degree from their specific school dragged through the mud.
Report: 30+ teams could be punished for recruiting violations
- Thread starter surly

UNC is considered one of the most prestigious public universities in the nation, alongside Michigan, Cal, Virginia, and Texas. I highly doubt an academic scandal that is limited to the involvement of the athletic department and nowhere else has any impact on the prestige of everyone else's degrees. Sure, it's a bad look for the athletic department and the university, but I doubt doctors, lawyers, and business will be all that terribly concerned by it.
Every little bit hurts. The competition between those top-tier schools is pretty fierce. If I found out ISU was doing this, I would be embarrassed about it from this kind of strict reputation, prestige, and scholarly perspective we are talking about.
It is a black spot, if only a small one, you do not want when going up against those others.
Looks like there are more specific schools/players being named publicly now. Haven't seen us listed so good stuff so far. Surprise surprise Kansas and Texas are both named.

A balance sheet from the ASM Sports agency show former North Carolina State guard Dennis Smith received $43,500.

$10,000 for Fultz and was the first pick of he draft. No one played his cards better. Make off with thousands of dollars that you'll never earn

"Grade inflation — no, hyperinflation — is running rampant in American higher education. At Yale, where I have been both a student and an instructor, the average GPA has risen considerably over the past 50 years. And my alma mater is not unique.
A recent study revealed that 42 percent of four-year college grades are A’s, and 77 percent are either A’s or B’s. According to Inside Higher Ed, “At four-year schools, awarding of A’s has been going up five to six percentage points per decade and A’s are now three times more common than they were in 1960.” At Yale, 62 percent of grades were in the A range in the spring of 2012. That figure was only 10 percent in 1963."
Spartan's Bridges probably didn't want to take a pay cut, so he stayed in East Lansing. Who did Elijah Johnson play for?

The documents tie some of the biggest names and programs in the sport to activity that appears to violate the NCAA’s amateurism rules. This could end up casting a pall over the NCAA tournament because of eligibility issues. (NCAA officials declined a request for comment.) There’s potential impermissible benefits and preferential treatment for players and families of players at Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan State, USC, Alabama and a host of other schools. The documents link some of the sport’s biggest current stars – Michigan State’s Miles Bridges, Alabama’s Collin Sexton and Duke’s Wendell Carter – to specific potential extra benefits for either the athletes or their family members.

Where did you see Kansas named? The only Kansas player I saw on that ASM list was Elijah Johnson, who at the time of the list, was years past being a player at Kansas.
Elijah Johnson had been a pro for several years at this point and was playing in Greece. Schools that should be concerned are school where the players listed were still in school at the time of the "loan".
Those are about as rare as unicorns. Not saying they aren't any, just haven't see them with my own two eyes.
"Josh Jackson's mother allegedly received a $2,700 payment."

- Apples Jones, the mother of former Kansas player Josh Jackson, received $2,700 according to documents.
- Feb. 1, 2016: “Advance to Apples Jones (Josh Jackson) $1,700.”
I wish they would publish a conversion factor so I could upgrade my HS grades ('60's) and my ISU grades ('70's). I knew I was smarter than those grades showed!
