this one involves both the NBA and some NCAA players..
it is breaking news that the New York Knicks (and presumably other NBA teams) have long and often been
conducting "secret workouts" that are not only violations of NBA rules, but may also be violations of NCAA rules
for players who return to college after "testing the waters" prior to the NBA draft.
One such player who was involved in the secret workouts was Brandon Rush --
and during his secret workout suffered a devastating knee injury that required surgery and ACL reconstruction...but it made Rush return to college...
Players who no longer fear any action by NCAA since they are already in the pros have come forward...
and Rush, who returned to college went on to help Kansas win the NCAA Championship...
Since these workouts were secret -- we may never know, but if any special benefits were extended to Rush -- money, favors, benefits, promises, even just free transportation or food...
then in all likelihood, Rush may have violated rules that would have made him ineligible to return to college...thus the entire Championship season for Kansas may have been tainted with an ineligible player!
