The Missoula mom of a player got a call from the grandpa of an out of state player, asking if she would help get his grandson out of jail. This was in the middle of the night. She then got a call from the person bailing him out, that another player was also in jail and should he bail out the other player. She said yes. The grandpa had said he would repay her at the next game. The ncaa rule or interpretation apparently says that the mom should have been repaid within something like 5 days, and the "loan" last a few days longer than that. Thus, a violation.
The cold hotdog that was about to be thrown out was given to Peter Nugyen an hour or so after a game, when he stopped at the tailgate of parents of his friend, a player.
Compared to NIL today, this all so laughable. It was laughable at the time too.
