2 things you may be ignoring
1- just because someone's parents have money, doesn't mean they freely give it.
2- it is sometimes easy for people to let their pride get in the way and accept praise (gifts) from others when it makes them feel important

The strange dynamic with Emery's alleged NCAA violations
dixdog

Also that it appears none of the benefits were given or promised to get him to

For that reason, I don't think BYU should suffer as an institution - we'll see
dixdog

BYU shouldn't suffer, I doubt they come down on BYU.

They’ll probably just make Emery pay back the perks
TunaNoCrust
11/14/17 11:25am
He already did. The NCAA issue is a big nothing-burger.

So why did he drop out then?

Hmmmm.....
Cougstreak
11/14/17 11:55am
If there was no investigation, I would assume Emery wouldn't drop out

Nobody in this thread knows exactly what's going on and neither

It is more than that......

I don't mean to be rude, but there's no reason for me to believe you
CMuehle
11/14/17 12:47pm
Don't believe it and "pass" on believing what I say.

Wait a minute.

You clearly have not read many of these posts!

You sound pretty proud of being privy to rumors

Of course it is more the NCAA, it is his mental health and well-being, that is
Unibro

He said in his statement. Mental health.

Maybe he was too embarrassed to ask his parents for Harry Potter tickets.

Also the acceptance of the Harry Potter wand and butter beer (HC violation?).

similar to UCLA shoplifters--at least 2/3 were from wealthy families

11/14/17 9:03am
as a prosecutor, I see that often. There is a thrill associated with shoplifting

Some (many?) rich kids also have a sense of entitlement
CMuehle
11/14/17 9:12am
too true, and parents helping when their kids screw up can be counterproductive
dixdog
11/14/17 9:15am
We don't need an NCAA investigation to tell us Emery is entitled, although
zagdontzig
11/14/17 9:41am
I imagine that basketball and eligibility weren't on Emery's mind at the time.

Divorce was the best thing my ex-wife ever gave me!

Same here, but probably a different woman.

Super sad, but I remember feeling the same way.

I don't know, it seems like a lot of the time it's active players
CMuehle

True, but this booster wasn't trying to woo Emery to sign with an agent
dixdog
11/14/17 9:20am
Right.
CMuehle
11/14/17 9:26am
Exactly.
Cougstreak

Maybe his parents weren't willing to pay for these trips

very possible

Pretty sure NCAA sees the same difference you do.
CosmoK

I'm guessing the NCAA will drop the investigation
wapiti
11/14/17 10:26am
I think there will be some kind of punishment wherever he plays -If found guilty
dixdog

"Violators don't get to choose how they are punishment." Tell that to UNC.

Reminds me of when Richard Jefferson was suspended for getting stuff at AZ
WJCougar
11/14/17 11:57am
If Jefferson got two games for that, we could expect Nick would get similar
dixdog

I guess I just assumed that the divorce played a big part in all of this
Gigo

I think that does accurately sum it up - we'll see
dixdog
11/14/17 12:44pm
I would not describe the Emerys as wealthy. Upper middle class for Utah.

You mean that not everyone who goes to Lone Peak is as wealthy as the Mika's?

believe it or not, some of the LP folks drive USED Range Rovers

Driving used Range Rovers is a recipe for poverty. The maintenance costs are
