I agree that coaches giving players money is a violation, too..but that's irrelevant to original argument that players taking $$ from agents is also an NCAA violation.
UNC was given serious penalties and post-season ban for having players paid by an agent. If the focus of the debate has now shifted to what NCAA violations are worse than others, then I don't really care, but making the argument that UCLA is innocent because they knew nothing about it just doesn't wash in every other such case the NCAA has acted on.
(plus, I remain a skeptic when they claim they don't know as the players drive Hummers)
But they don't always seem interested in acting - and this North Carolina case is another such example where the NCAA only acted interested after a long series of articles exposed the cheating and NCAA was embarrassed & forced to act.
