This story started out sounding like the indictments were for assistant coaches taking bribes to steer college players to particular agents when they turned pro. It might be difficult to implicate a head coach for that, given that the team reaps no direct benefit from having a player leave the team for the pros.
Were any of these indictments for paying players to attend these schools? Note, I am NOT asking if asking HS players or their families ever get paid to go to a particular school. I am asking if any of these indictments involve specific allegations of specific players going to specific schools for cash payments.
I ask this question because institutional control, or lack thereof, is much more directly implicated in the second scenario than in the first.
