Paying kids is an NCAA violation but it isn't against the law. Just an NCAA law. What gives?


Crooked people have other crooked endeavours. If the kids and coaches are making money and not paying their taxes, is that not illegal.

That is why I asked. I want to know what he is being arrested for. Yes tax evasion is illegal. I am asking because Auburn could take out ads in the newspaper for ex-professional football players to come play for them for 500.000 dollars and that wouldn't be illegal.

So instead of asking if tax evasion is illegal, simply say he was arrested for tax evasion. So is that what he was arrested for?

There are additional charges for receiving money as bribes when you are an employee of a public university who receives federal funds. It is likewise illegal to offer and give such bribes.

But these are just the initial charges. When you give $100K to someone on a promise that cannot be enforced in a court, the people involved will find other ways to "enforce" the promises. Some of this could involve blacklisting and physical intimidation.
