I blame the NCAA for clearing him to play because had they looked at all they would have found something, it's about the most blatantly obvious situation of a player getting extra benefits that I've ever seen.
As for Floyd, he did what every college coach does, he turned his head the other way. Anyone with a brain knew this kid was probably not an "amateur". There couldn't have possibly been more red flags.
The AAU circuit is getting way out of hand and they need to go back to the old rules of letting kids come straight out of High School or else we're going to see a lot more situations like this.
