The report says that they believe an assistant coach knew what was going on an interceded on behalf of the people giving Bush the extra money.

But that they can not prove it beyond doubt though the assistant coaches denials are not, to them, credible. They make a decent case considering the assistant coach denied knowing or ever talking to people for whom there are picture of him meeting and phone records of conversations (one of which the prospective agent says was to get help keeping Bush in line, which was then followed up by a long phone call between the assistant coach and Bush).

I still say the obvious solution is to stop pretending big time college football and basketball are amateur sports and let the schools arrange payment for the players. The stupidity of doing otherwise just creates a culture of criminality and at best an official structure that seeks not compliance but plausible deniability.
