I don't know where it says that if high school kids take money from an AAU coach they're inelgibile. Rush admitted accepting extra benefits while playing for an AAU team coached by Myron Piggie in Kansas City prior to enrolling at Missouri. This is absurd. The NCAA has no jurisdiction. Go to the Las Vegas tournament and there are 250 teams with their parents there.
Every kid is there somehow.
It's not illegal. The problem is how. In the Rush case, the NCAA is using the FBI and IRS to get information on players like Rush. The federal authorities are expected to review their findings with the NCAA next Wednesday. Sources at UCLA say the school has been irked that it found out about JaRon Rush's activity in an unsolicited conversation with federal authorities.
