I've already provided the quote that showed the assistance came WITH THE UNDERSTANDING that the person would no longer be eligible to participate in athletics. Thus, it's no inducement, and the NCAA has mischaracterized the assistance.

Yeah, right. I can see why the NCAA would be skeptical, and why you would not. |

Maybe they should have put him in Guantanamo. The assistance was clearly humanitarian in nature and clearly not an effort to win a recruiting war. The person signed no LOI and did not appeal his eligibility. There is no evidence that he received assistance while BYU viewed him as a recruitable athlete.

Mormons game the system in such strange ways (think back to the Olympics). Thank goodness no cookies were offered.

I'm having a hard time putting any blame here on the booster or coach, based on the available information. Seems like a NCAA over-reaction to me.
