LOL they aren't going to close the hospital over a few bad hourly workers forging time sheets. That one really got me chuckling. Now, if they were fraudulently billing insurance companies and medicaid, that would be different. The players and maybe UK are the only ones who might get slapped on the wrist.

It sounds like Kentucky has been paying players, but on this subject the NCAA has no firm ground on which to stand anymore. NIL is not pay for "Name, Image, Likeness", it's pay for play, or pay for signing, or pay for transfer, or pay for foregoing an early exit to the NFL, or pay for walking on and playing on the scout team. Under the current system, NIL money is virtually impossible to trace or regulate, so it can come from any dark corner and be distributed according to the desires of whomever controls it.

Until some authorized governing body cites a single rule that forcefully applies to paying college athletes, and draws a bright line that separates it from all the other ways of paying college athletes, I don't see why any school should punish any player for receiving money from any source unless they've been charged with a crime. If Federal or state laws were possibly broken, that's a matter for law enforcement, but not the NCAA until proven otherwise.

If the hospital was knowingly involved in fraud, they just invited the federal government in…

So if they got paid with drug money there would be no repercussions? If it’s ill-gotten money they received by complicit fraud they’ll have to answer.

I'm sure there's already drug money in what we call NIL. Large sums of money always have bad money embedded. The NCAA doesn't know or seemingly care where the money comes from at this point. Complicit fraud will require evidence of something other than just athletes getting paid. We'll see, but I'm doubtful any athlete gets charged with a crime.

That probably means that most of their starters are ineligible (in football and in BB). Sounds like lack of institutional control, just with the horse farms. And embezzlement of government healthcare funds is no joke. People do federal time for that.

How hospitals use government money to pay people who may or may not be working as many hours as they should isn't what gets them in trouble. Billing the government fraudulently does. I doubt there were any invoices sent to medicaid that involved whatever work a few hourly teenage workers were doing.

As long as you’re sure! 😅 If it’s DISCOVERED that cartels are buying wide receivers, you’re outcha damn mind if you think that gets an olè. Same as this. The Federales are getting involved.

This is bad bad. Not going to be bad for UK or UK football/athletics unless it can be proven coaches and athletics personnel were aware and/or involved.

It's going to be bad for the athletes, the booster, and the hospital. If this has truly been going on for decades with this specific booster and hospital that's decades of fraud with federal and state tax dollars to pay college athletes. The hospital may lose funding and insurance support, the booster will certainly be charged with something, and the athletes involved may get charges.

Nope, they didn’t bill Medicare/Medicaid. But what if they paid said players with PPP money given by the federal government during COVID that was to be used specifically to help meet payroll?

Wait just a galdang minute…. Rodriquez was paid as a “transporter” by the hospital. Guess which VN poster is a professional driver/transporter? Who just so happens to live in Kentucky.

I did not have “@Ulysees E. McGill tanks the entire UK athletic department by malfeasance” on my bingo card today.

Then the bad egg supervisor would be the sacrificial scapegoat and they'd have to pay back a few thousand dollars and nothing else would happen.
