I don't think it's a failure to monitor. The university's ability to monitor what players do out of class or practice is far too limited. A university certainly doesn't have control over what a player does in his free time. Nor does a university keep tabs on a players bank account or wallet for that matter- or at least not to my knowledge! As I'm sure most of us have figured out by now, financial endeavors and/or "discussions" between prospective NFL players and agents naturally happen. If a player gets wind of a "generous" agent, one who has a way of "allocating funds" to a prospect or player, then that player may decide to see if it's true or they may already know based on what another player has said. So it's nothing to do with a lack of oversight, in my opinion. I reckon had everyone been smart about what allegedly occurred here, no news would have come of it and everything would've been dandy. It probably would have gone unnoticed / unknown, like I'm sure most "allocations" or "invoices" from prospect to agent / whomever typically do. Just my opinion, but I'm sure in the back of our minds we know this happens a lot more than we'd like to believe. It's just always shocking to hear about it when the home team is involved; even if it just involves the individual players.Failure to monitor.
