In this article, you will notice that the NCAA said that the Kanters received over $33,000 more than they should have. However, about $20,000 of that was used to pay for Kanters education, which according to the NCAA, is a permissible expense. However, because the Turkish club paid the Kanters directly instead of the institution, they are considering that 20k to be excessive.

The remaining 13k is still sitting in an account of its own because the Kanters didn't want to risk Enes' amateurism and weren't familiar with NCAA rules, so they stuck it in a separate account, where every dime is still accounted for. They offered to give it back to the Turkish club or the NCAA and both said no, they didn't want it. Now in my opinion, this ruling is bull-ish. The Kanters never used this money except for what it was supposed to be used for, and even kept records of everything it was spent on, yet because the Turkish club didn't pay the schools directly, Enes is ruled ineligible.

Now my question is this, why is Renardo Sidney allowed to play for Mississippi State this year? The Sidneys refused to help the NCAA, the found the Sidneys were living in a house that was way beyond what they could afford, and found that the Sidneys must pay back $11,800, but will be eligible to play this year with Miss. St. How is that fair that he can pay it back, when he was clearly using money as extra benefits?

Also, what about another incident at Miss. St. Dee Bost entered his name into the NBA draft, did not remove his name from the draft, which by rule declares him an NBA player, yet the NCAA said Bost didn't know the rules and are letting him come back to play for Miss. St. this year.

The double standard that the NCAA throws out is absolutely ridiculous. If you're going to rule Kanter ineligible, fine. But you had better rule everyone else ineligible that has ever received money for high school (the players who attend Oak Hill Academy are given $22,000 worth of scholarships per year to attend there) or any other kind of money. If the NCAA was consistent, they would have declared Maggette ineligible, John Wall ineligible, Josh Selby ineligible, and Renardo Sidney ineligible. What they are doing here is obviously showing their favoritism first hand.
