The FBI investogayion revealed a possible $2,000 payment. The punishment for that is typically 5 games. Josh Selby got 9 games for about $4,000.
The rumored payment from a Maryland booster has zero actual evidence surrounding it. Kinda absurd to punish someone solely because some guy said "I heard this happened". If an ISU player was held out for such absurdity, I doubt you would be pleased.
I think they forgot to check the pockets of the other 14 KU players.
