I think it was shady for several reasons:

Kelvin Sampson
BIG wasn't poaching committed recruits from it's own conference teams at the time
Lotta lying about what was happening
Kelvin Sampson
Hiring his coach as Assistant
& last but not least, Kelvin Sampson

I think the pressure to win recruiting battles, lack of enforcement, inconsistency in policing, back room deals in and outside the NCAA, and willingness of institutions to defend bad behavior, has escalated to the point where anything goes. That wasn't nearly as true back in 2005 when he originally committed. YMMV

That said, we had a squeaky clean, old-school coach who was arguably out of touch with how to handle the boundaries of big time recruiting battles. That one's on us.
Kelvin Sampson was and is absolute scum.

Show-Cause, like another piece of trash, Bruce Pearl.

Amusingly, their respective Wikipedia pages have extended sections dedicated just to their numerous NCAA violations.

Had to wait until Rees Woodcock wrote about it. Now it's officially official.
