And when will you realize what the rule actually says and that just by saying the word "offer" does not expressly break the rule...

You should remove the word "law" from your name. The point I made was there is no requirement for acceptance of the offer for it to be considered a violation.
However, based on the context of the conversation (and basic common sense), WW was referring to a monetary offer. And yes, an "inference" is considered evidence. So, any reasonable person listening to WW's conversation would acknowledge WW was talking about an offer of money.

We do not know what Wade offered. While it is easy to assume or imply that he likely was offering a financial benefit, because that is just what happens in the sport, it is just that, an assumption.

And the NCAA (like most intelligent people) will infer WW was offering money.

the fact that they can just punish a school merely based off of an insinuation or an accusation by someone else is just f'ing ludicrous.

It will be based on WW's own words (and probably confirmation from other coaches, etc.).

His own words just talk about a strong offer not impermissible benefits

They would need something to support a violation

And you should learn to exercise some reading comprehension.

Nothing in what I said or that the rule says talks about "acceptance of the offer." Rather, the rule states that it has to be an offer of financial aid or some benefit. What I'm stating is that based on what we know, Wade merely said the word offer, but did nothing to identify what it is an offer of.

I never said that he wasn't likely referring to that. In fact, I specifically stated that it is easy to assume or infer that is what he is talking about. But an inference is just that; it does not conclude that he was talking about an offer of financial aid or a benefit.

They can infer all they want. What I'm saying, like many, is that if they base their NOA and subsequent penalties based solely on that statement alone and an inference, then it is complete and total bullshite!
