Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2128476, member: 199"] I was the one who posted that, and the deal is that the University athletic scholarship has a certain amount of discretionary money in it that can be used for the benefit of the athlete - I am not sure what it is used for normal, maybe better food when traveling or something, but some schools have chosen to use it on a transfer's travel expense to away games which they are not allowed to go to with the team based on other NCAA rules during their year of sitting out. Uconn has never done that for any athlete as far as I know. That is a very different thing from ANYONE outside of the Uconn administration providing ANY benefit to a student athlete that is not available to every other student enrolled at the university. SO - no, you cannot help the transfers get to Dallas in any way as it would constitute an improper benefit for them, and make them subject to NCAA discipline including losing their scholarship and their eligibility to ever play basketball in college again. If Uconn was culpable or complicit or even aware of any improper benefit received by an athlete, then they would also be subject to NCAA discipline. Sooo - nice thought, and one shared by many on this board, but one that has dire consequence if acted upon. [/QUOTE]
