Re: Bookstoregate
Seems strange that Charlston Southern would allow this to happen.
It's been a while since I was in college, but I don't think the athletes even stepped foot in the bookstore. I believe they got all of their books at the academic center and then had to return them at the end of the semester. Seems risky giving college football players a handfull of cash and telling them to go buy books.
While I think this is a dumb rule by the NCAA, I also think that Charleston Southern could have avoided this very easily.

Yet North Carolina sets up fake classes for athletes and gets no punishment.

Re: Bookstoregate
The players do not get cash. All transactions are through an athletic account and purchases are monitored by some one in athletics.
