The Xmas thing can be construed as rigging - I kind of agree there. I actually figured our players were taking summer credits all along, which is pretty much routine in DI hoops (except at Ivies and Patriots) - keep them on campus, keep them with your strength+conditioning staff, let them scrimmage with each other, get a jump on credits, etc. That was when MW and AJ ended up in trouble. Although it probably wasn't mandatory.
3courses per summer though? That's a lot. These courses are typically not upper level required courses toward a major, which means you are just keeping kids eligible for sports and not advancing them toward a degree. But, as I said, things are changing in the American university system.
