"Malone encouraged Smith to move to Kansas with Beasley “to, among other things, keep other agents away from him,” the suit says. In June 2007, a man whom Malone had introduced to Smith (but whom the suit does not name) paid for Smith’s moving expenses to Kansas and made a “lump-sum payment to cover the first six months of her rent while she was there,” the suit alleges.

In January 2008, the suit claims, the man telephoned Smith and told her that he wanted to be Beasley’s financial adviser. Smith called Malone and informed him about the conversation. Malone said “something dismissive about him and told Ms. Smith to be at ease,” the suit says.

Shortly afterward, according to the suit, Bell called Smith and asked her the amount of her rent and her car payment and told her that both payments would be taken care of. Smith said they were paid for, and that she never made a rent or car payment during Beasley’s entire freshman year as a player for Kansas State during the 2007-08 season, the suit says. "

Not really.   We come off as "how in the hell did you not know about this" and the ncaa has generally had a problem with that (i.e. Reggie Bush).  They basically said with Bush "how the hell could you not know? he was a high profie recruit, you should have done a better job".  Throw in the fact that 'Te was our overpaid assistant who had a relationship with Malone....I think we're looking at sanctions, just a matter of how much of a dick the NCAA wants to be.

For Beasley only one good thing (the NBA) and a million bad ones could happen. And while college fans will bemoan the allegation that Beasley attending K-State was just a fixed recruitment, when it came to building Beasley’s career, it was also the correct one. Beasley had trouble everywhere he’d been. Kansas State was where he became an All-American, eased NBA fears and landed that big contract.

 :love: you better be using this pitch Frank.

I feel like I should be more worried about this, but I'm not finding a smoking gun between KSU and Fatima getting paid.  As far as I know, Malone isn't a booster, nor was he affiliated with KSU in any way.

Yeah, Huggins paid Hill an exorbitant amount of money (that he didn't earn) to help steer Beasley to KSU.  But that's common practice and not illegal.  Everything that happened between Malone/Bell/Fatima seems like it's outside of our locus of control.

But, I'll just let the NCAA rules wonks just correct me here.  As long as there's no smoking gun between KSU and our boosters and this mess, or money from Hill found its way to Beasley, I'm pretty sure we're okay, right?  I mean, they may make us forfeit our wins that season, but whatever.  I don't care about any of that.

I like how he leads with the hiring of Dalonte as if that's the biggest thing...even though it was out there and completely discussed by everyone when it happened.

As it stands now, K-State has only two worries:  first, if something more comes out that more strongly implicates the university, or second, if the NCAA decides we're one of the little guys that they have no problem screwing to be an "example" to the big boys that they slap on the wrists.

Huggins is gone. Dalonte is gone. Beasley is gone. Unless more info comes out more strongly implicating Frank or linking KSU to the payments, we're fine.

Yeah, Te is saying the right things:

Quote
"No, Fatima had a full-time job," Hill told the newspaper. "It was not like she moved to Kansas and stopped working. She continued to work. She had a family, so I never assumed. She didn't buy a house. She rented a house, which later some kids rented. So I didn't think it was extra. Normal living."

usc got in trouble for illegal recruitment.  

they got in trouble for not knowing when they should have known.  Which is essentially what the ncaa will say to ksu.  The ncaa has realized that the only way that it has any leverage at all with schools is through penalty and they've chosen to use this.

Is K-State really responsible for money changing hands between someone who isn't associated with the university and a family member?

yes.  if it was reasonable that ksu should have known.  which is why you hear 'te saying "hey, Fatima was living normal" and "I don't remember her being at aau tourneys when mike had to travel". 

I'm confused. If KU can directly pay Chalmers' dad and Manning's dad, then why is K-State supposed to investigate every dollar that its players' parents may get from sources completely unrelated to the university?

There was no NCAA rule against Chalmers/Manning coaching for KU.  There's an NCAA rule against parents collecting money from boosters.

there is nothing ncaa-wrong with an aau club paying for the tourney related travel of a player's parents.  i don't think there is even any issue with an agent donating to the aau club and the club using that money for bball opps that involve the player.  the amateur issue only enters with the direct involvement of the agent and a player.

He said he also purchased, at Beasley’s request, the sport-utility vehicle that Beasley drove while at Kansas State.

Contrary to Beasley’s suits, Holloway said Beasley was aware of the benefits being provided to Smith.

Shouldn't change much about KSU's position IMO.  They'll argue that they couldn't have reasonably known about that.  Holloway doesn't have any KSU connections.  Beasely(despite what some would like to think) wasn't driving around in some 50k vehicle.  It'll still come down to whether the NCAA thinks of KSU as one of the little guys and hammers them or one of the big guys and tells them to not do it again.

Finally read through the full pleadings.  Found this interesting.

Quote
61.  In addition, Beasley promptly paid Counter-Defendant the outstanding balance that Counter-Defendant claimed was due him.  Specifically, Bell demanded that Beasley reimburse Counter-Defendant for thousands of dollars that had been laid out before Beasley had ever signed a player-agent agreement.  Beasley promptly paid Counter-Defendant in full.

So, according to Mike, all of the "extra benefits" have been paid back some time ago.

would this not be viewed an admission that he received the goods in the NCAA's eyes?  Who cares legally, but NCAA-wise could be bad for us?


he took the loan from bell after he left school but before he was drafted and  started collecting paychecks.  this is common practice.

That's not what's being talked about in the part of the counter-suit I excerpted.

It's been a while.  Looks like Beasley "won" last December.  Bell asked for reconsideration and got it.  They bickered through 2012 thus far and possibly had a settlement somewhat agreed to but didn't finalize it and Bell got a judgment vs. Beasley, and Beasley's gotten that set aside already.  We need to get a reporter on the ground in Montgomery County.

This article is from when Mike won that initial ruling at the end of 2011:

The court record that takes you from before that article and through now doesn't c&p well.  If you want to see it, click here, http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inquiry/inquiry-index.jsp and accept and enter case # 342922V from Montgomery County Circuit Court.
