The new NCAA matrix ??

I think that will be the committee members' take as well as remember, these members are among the highest ranking leaders and professionals around the country as opposed to a member of the "good old boy network" that can administer a slap on the wrist and succumb to an under-the-table bribe.

Agreed. When the rot starts from the core and works its way out of numerous veins associated within the program those are serious institutional problems. When the Asst Athletic Director is in a position to gain information from the coaching staff, head coach included on which recruits have been evaluated and which one's are wanted/needed for the team and he then proceeds to systematically match Boosters with recruits, organize contact between both parties and goes on to aid in providing impermissible benefits; those actions are deplorable.

Barney made sure the "right" Boosters were organized and placed with the "right" recruits. Barney made sure the funds funneled in from the Booster network and made available when the time was right. Barney made sure once the recruits signed that the family was taken care of, i.e. momma's rent and power bill got paid, step-daddy got is pocket money, player got reliable transportation free of charge.
