I am not admonishing him or others, I just not sure I understand because actually it's not hard to understand. Maybe it's because we've been down that road and it was all fully explained. You can't go into this with, I didn't know the rules. You know the rules, your agent/advisor knows the rules as well.

A player loses his amatuer status the day an agent speaks on his behalf for any reason. Is the NCAA going to change that, no, are they going to contiune to seek those out when someone opens their mouth that rules were broken, yes.
