how about multiple phone calls between lake and mcnair, mcnair knowing bush was an "intern" at his firm, and a photo showing them partying together? edit: also how about a reporter directly telling a compliance officer that bush was taking money?
They may well be, but there isn't sufficient proof to warrant penalties the magnitude of which they received.
The worst hard evidence the NCAA gave is that USC was running too loose of a ship, yet they got penalties on the magnitude of schools who directly give money to recruits (recruits, not already signed sealed and delivered players).
And it likely will not be uncovered, but it is possible, maybe even likely, that money was in fact given to recruits. That would be almost be impossible for the NCAA to prove, but it isn't unexpected, for USC detractors and those who are living in the 21st century, and following college athletics.
