The problem the NCAA will likely have with the loans is that
1) these people only gave loans to good basketball players (or their parents)
2) traditionally basketball skills aren't correlated w/ creditworthiness
As a side note a former Univ. of Louisville All-American volleyball player recently tweeted that while at UofL she was ruled ineligible by the NCAA after they got word she appeared in some advertisements. It was small time stuff like pillow ads, etc. Once she donated the money she made from modeling to a charity & did community service work she was reinstated.
She was Miss Kentucky and top 15 at Miss USA.
