The NCAA has hit some schools hard for their "improper benefits" rules, including Bradley.
But here is a nice example of their hypocrisy- for many years, the NCAA has looked the other way as shoe companies have lavished gifts upon teams and athletes. The most stark example of this are the unique Nike brand shoes and equipment that Nike has bestowed on the University of Oregon sports teams.
Now some of those "gifts" are appearing on Ebay for sale for thousands of dollars-
I wonder who is selling and benefitting from these sales?
How is this any different from selling complimentary tickets that some athletes have been penalized for by the NCAA?
And while we are at this- for years there have been numerous Ebay items for sale with autographs of college athletes-
Andrew Wiggins hasn't played a single game yet for Kansas, but he (or someone) is already profitting off his autographs-
And Jabari Parker-
And there are many more- lots of high priced items for Johnny Manziel-
