Louisville extended a scholarship offer only after evaluations and contacts that had consumed Purdue resources -- equipment, facilities and employees’ time, etc., paid for by Purdue. Since those employees resigned and then took the object of those spent resources with them, they were acting only on their own behalf rather than the university’s. That constitutes them as paid athletic talent scouts, a violation of NCAA legislation. Purdue is entitled to compensation for its expenses that were spent under false pretenses and ultimately in contradiction of university interests.
Time for two-faced Jeffy to fork back a chunk of that million in walkaway money, not to mention all claims to ethical behavior.
