From the report regarding Student Athlete 1. :D

a. Concerning the partnerships and impermissible benefits, the committee finds that the following occurred:
(1) In the fall of 2004, while student-athlete 1 was competing for the institution, student-athlete 1's step-father and agency partner A discussed the formation of a sports agency and marketing company featuring student-athlete 1. Subsequently, student-athlete 1 entered into an agreement with sports agency partners A and B to establish a sports agency to negotiate future marketing and professional sports contracts. [Note: The agreement may be inferred from student-athlete 1's subsequent conduct and his request for and acceptance of benefits.]
(2) Shortly after the agreement was reached to form a sports agency, student-athlete 1 and his family began asking for financial and other assistance from agency partners A and B. Thus, began a pattern of impermissible benefits provided by agency partners A and B to student-athlete 1 and his family.
(3) In January 2005, at the request of the parents, agency partner A instructed his former brother-in-law ("the former brother-in-law") to arrange round-trip airline transportation between San Diego and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, a value of approximately $1,200, for the parents and for the brother of student-athlete 1 to attend the Orange Bowl.
(4) During a telephone conversation in late 2004, student-athlete 1 informed agency partner A that he (student-athlete 1) was embarrassed to drive his current vehicle, a pick-up truck, and wanted a different vehicle. Agency partner A agreed to provide the cash to purchase a vehicle. A short while later, in December 2004, student-athlete 1 located a vehicle he wanted, and agency partner A gave student-athlete 1's stepfather several thousand dollars in cash for a down payment on the vehicle. Student-athlete 1 later contacted agency partner A to request additional money needed to purchase wheel rims for the vehicle. Agency partner A then drove from San Diego to Los Angeles and gave student-athlete 1 an additional several thousand dollars in cash. Approximately one week later, agency partner A gave student-athlete 1 another sizable cash payment, which the student-athlete used for a car alarm and audio system.
(5) In early March 2005, after a request from student-athlete 1 to attend a former NFL player's ("former NFL player") birthday party in San Diego, agency partner A contacted agency partner B to arrange for student-athlete 1 to use a room in a hotel near the venue where the birthday party was held.
(6) On the night of March 5, 2005, agency partner A provided cost-free round-trip limousine service for student-athlete 1 to travel from the hotel to the San Diego nightclub where the birthday party was held.
(7) In March 2005, after a request from student-athlete 1 to vacation in Las Vegas, agency partner A contacted agency partner B, who arranged for two night's lodging (March 11-12) and incidentals for student-athlete 1 at a Las Vegas Resort, a value of $564.
(8) In March 2005 and after his parents were asked by their landlord to vacate their Paradise Valley Road residence, student-athlete 1's parents and agency partners A and B agreed that agency partner B would purchase a property located in Spring Valley for the parents. The written agreement called for the parents to pay agency partner B $1,400 per month (of the approximately $4,500 monthly cost) plus utilities until such time when student-athlete 1 would pay the difference to agency partners A and B with money from the income he would earn once he became a professional athlete. However, the parents resided at the property at no cost until April 2006.
(9) In the spring of 2005, agency partner B provided the parents with approximately $10,000 in cash to purchase furniture for the Spring Valley residence.
(10) In April 2005, the mother of agency partner A ("agency partner A's mother") purchased a washer and dryer for the parents at the San Diego Naval Exchange.
(11) In June 2005, while agency partner A was incarcerated, student-athlete 1 made telephone contact with agency partner A's then girlfriend ("agency partner A's former girlfriend") and requested cash. The former girlfriend subsequently deposited at least $500 in cash of agency partner A's funds into student-athlete 1's account at a Washington Mutual bank branch located on Jamacha Road in El Cajon.
(12) Prior to the institution's September 3, 2005, football contest at the University of Hawaii, Manoa (Hawaii) student-athlete 1's step-father went to agency partner A's mother‟s home in El Cajon where she provided $5,000 in cash to him.

This is what got them in trouble if anything else:



Both the football and men's basketball cases are incomplete because a number of key witnesses, including the athletes at the center of these allegations, refused to cooperate in whole or in sufficient measure.

Kind of makes Reggie Bush's "I'll continue cooperating through the appeals process" comment pretty damn funny.
