Well, to be fair, I think soliciting prostitutes would fall under the "inappropriate benefits" clause for NCAA athletes.
What did Miami get, by the way, for doing essentially the same thing with that Ponzi Scheme guy? That was right around the time Coach L left Mason. Here we go:
Entire athletic program
Three years of probation.
Football
No further postseason ban.
Loss of 9 total scholarships over the 2014, 2015, and 2016 seasons. The program may divide those as it chooses.
Players on unofficial visits may be provided only one complimentary ticket to one home game in both 2014 and 2015.
Men's basketball
Loss of one scholarship in each of the 2014–15, 2015–16, and 2016–17 seasons.
Coaches
Former Miami men's basketball coach Frank Haith, who by that point in time was the head coach at Missouri (and took the same position at Tulsa in 2014), was suspended for the first five games of the 2013–14 season.
Three former Miami assistants—Aubrey Hill (football), Clint Hurtt (football), and Jorge Fernández (men's basketball)—each received a two-year show-cause penalty. At the time of the announcement, Hurtt was the defensive line coach at Louisville; that school has not yet commented on his future.[22]
