“One thing some don’t realize is that coaches are fathers first in the NCAA’s eyes, meaning any coach can provide his son with anything — the nicest televisions, gaming systems, furniture, groceries, etc., — and it’s not uncommon for players to live with other players. So one thing coaches often do is have their best players live with their sons, then they flood their sons’ dorms or apartments with the nicest things any college kid could ever want, and there’s not really anything the NCAA will, or even can, do about it. Pretty neat, right?”
It’s only a small part of the article, but that’s an interesting loophole. Wonder who Tres Tinkle is rooming with in Corvallis? Might want to hang with that kid. 😉
