He was recruited there by Bob Huggins and Frank Martin....and says he was paid in cash (thru an agent) from age 14 on...(as far back as 2003)

To clarify, he is not saying that the coaches (or anyone at Kansas State) provided or knew of these benefits, they were from people (former AAU coach, and an agent) who wanted to forge a relationship with Beasley and his mother so they could get them to hire them as a pro agent when he went pro.
Some of the money that was funnelled to Beasley's mom came from Adidas sponsorship of the DC Assault AAU team and from the agent who eventually became Beasley's agent.
And if indeed there is illegal money coming from AAU coaches, then I am truly shocked to hear this!
Incidentally, all this has become public because Beasley fired the agent who gave him and his mother all the illegal benefits before he signed a pro contract and a shoe deal with Adidas. The agent who provided all the illegal cash to Beasley and his mom ended up getting stiffed and not sharing in the windfall of Beasley's pro money. So he sued beasley, and now Beasley is countersuing him. -
but to clarify further -- the reason the AAU types give players money - is because they figure to make it back and then some from certain sources at schools or elsewhere (under the table, boosters, etc..)Comment

nobody at NCAA noticed because they were too busy hammering Bradley for using their Native American imageryComment

Now another man has spoken publically and claims Michael Beasley knew about the illegal payments that were directed to his mother.
