A starter on Duke's basketball team in 2010, Lance Thomas is alleged to purchase $100,000 in custom jewelry.

The fact that he purchased $100K in jewelry isnt the scandal..its whether he received undue credit because he was a basketball player

It's a good thing their athletic director Joe Alleva doesn't just jump to conclusions right away and presume the guilt of everyone involved before letting the facts come out.

Four possibilities come to my mind:
1) Story is wrong - player never received the jewelry or had that cash.
2) Story is true but the player/school are innocent: money came from the family (I'm skeptical of this - even if his family has money it strikes me as unlikely they would be giving him six figures to blow as he pleased on jewelry)
3) Story is true and the player is guilty of receiving illicit benefits due to agent tampering - I think this would have to cost Duke the NC though. Once he gets a stack of cash from an agent he becomes an ineligible player and the games he played in should be forfeited right?
4) Story is true and the player is guilty of receiving illicit benefits through booster or school representatives - even more serious than possibility #3 esp if any coaches knew about the benefits.
