High school player: "Did you like UK?"
Issel: "Yeah it was great."
That's a violation.
Ball player is walking around campus in a severe thunderstorm/tornado watch. Coach gives him a ride back to his dorm instead of having him walk over a mile IN A TORNADO WATCH.
That's a violation.
Coach bought a player a pizza because his food money hadn't kicked in yet and the player hadn't eaten in two days.
That's a violation.
Oklahoma won a bowl game and was given a banquet. The players were told to go up and get more food. The NCAA said that they received "improper benefits" by having an extra plate of pasta and had to make it right by making a charitable donation equal to the value of the pasta, which was less than $20 combined between the two of them. To avoid looking like two morons donating about $7 each, they made it $25 each out of their own pocket. Over improper pasta benefits.
