McKnight's out on The Town

So University of Southern California's running back Joe McKnight was seen out in the beautiful streets of Los Angeles driving around in a 2006 Land Rover. This is just another blemish on the Trojans' track record of illegal funding or activities with alumni, boosters or agents and their student athletes. Reggie Bush was the last football player to have a similar problem which caused major ramifications to the school and football program.
This is something that really shouldn't be looked into that much because when they dug deeper into the story they found out that the Land Rover is being paid for by the mother of Joe McKnight's child who is the employee of Scott Schenter. Scott isn't an agent nor is he a booster. The mother McKnight's child Johana Michelle Beltran had trouble qualifying for a loan and Scott Schenter helped her out by selling her his Land Rover. Johana makes all the payments and also pays insurance on the vehicle.
All I have to say about this is that this situation means nothing to me or the integrity of the USC football program. Of course we see college players get caught with different kinds of gifts or funds from people all the time, but I don't see why this part of the game is wrong. Student athletes bring their respective universities billions of dollars in revenue and all they don't see any of that money until the universities erect their million dollar dorm rooms, class rooms or study halls. These athletes do get a lot of clothing due to endorsements, but clothes don't fill up their stomach on the weekends and certainly don't allow them to be able to take care of any extra situations they might have.
Joe McKnight needed a car for his child and Johana and she took care of it by getting them an SUV. If a regular student's family or friend of the family is a millionaire for whatever reason do the universities give them a limit on how much money they can get? No. So why is it different for student athletes? Not every athlete that plays colligate sports will play professionally so any extra money of incentives that helps that student’s college experience better should be allowed. The NCAA is worried about tampering which makes no sense because we know now from these athletes freshman year if their going to the league or not. If you ask me I rather an agent or alumnus help out an athlete then let their universities exploit their talents for nothing other than a meal card and some athletic clothing.
