your scenario, but it isn't correct. Gant received $520 in cash. Along with the other impermissible benefits.
The NCAA report also provides the details on the $25 cash each of Clarkson and Criswell received.
Between approximately May 16 and 30, 2013, representative 1 employed two then men's basketball student-athletes (student-athletes 2 and 3, respectively) as interns through his company and paid them each approximately $1,100 for work not performed. Representative 1 also provided student-athletes 2 and 3 with $25 each in cash as well as housing, use of representative 1's personal vehicle, access to a local gym and at least two meals, all at no cost. The total value of the impermissible benefits provided to student-athletes 2 and 3, including impermissible compensation, was approximately $5,444.
Again, the NCAA report only includes what is verified by whatever evidence was able to be collected.
Likely Gant saying, "Dude gave them $25, but only gave me $20. So I asked for five more, cuz a playa gotta eat. You can imagine my surprise when he handed over five Benjamins!" (Editors note: I made that last part up.)
