You stated below:
“All (who participated in the internship program) were compensated the same amount. For some reason, this was deemed a Level 1 violation.”
From the NCAA Infractions report:
“Between May 25 and 31, 2014, representative 1 employed student-athlete 1 as an intern through his company and paid him approximately $1,000 for work not performed. Representative 1 also provided student-athlete 1 with approximately $520 in cash as well as housing, use of representative 1's personal vehicle, an iPad, access to a local gym and at least three meals, all at no cost.”
The interns were not all compensated the same amount. Jakeenan Gant was paid the $1000 for the internship, PLUS $520 in cash, plus the other impermissible benefits.
That’s why he sat out 9 games, not because the NCAA was “looking into the matter.” The matter had been looked into and the 9-game suspension was Gant’s punishment.
I won’t bother discussing the analytic errors, because you will never accept that your analysis is incorrect.
