To gawkers and passers-by of a total NCAA compliance train wreck, embarrassing details are the icing, sprinkles, syrup, and cherry on top of the sanction sundae. Kind of like the reports that Tim Floyd personally delivered at least $1,000 to a recruit at USC; there’s a schaudenfreudic glee to throwing up your hands and just [...]
