Yes there needs to be a "checks and balances" in place within the NCAA and coaching staffs, but if were not for kids illegally accepting these kick-backs, then the trend to entice would slow to a minimum. Our son was recruited to play for the Naval Academy this fall. He is very aware of the NCAA Eligibility Center's amateurism certification questionnaire that all athletes are required to complete and accept. OJ knew full well that what he was doing was not acceptable. Which in turn speaks of his character, ethics and morals. Any student athlete that accepts, then gets caught participating in these unethical activities should absolutely be made to pay back the full scholarship monies as well as be fined!!! Why should the schools, administration, programs and coaching staff be made to suffer while the kids just ride off into the NBA sunset with their millions?? It's high time to make sure that everyone involved is held accountable for their actions! Since money and monetary things inticed him, then he should hit him where he will take notice...in his wallet! There has to be concequences for everyone.
