Can confirm a BYU investigation into allegations a former BYU staff member provided llegal gifts to current and former players 11:26 AM - May 21, 2014”
BUT- Turned out that the big scandal was over Duane Busby had given some Stance Socks as a birthday present to some players.
“According to Brandon Gurney of the Deseret News, the investigation appears to have been started due to extra socks being provided by Busby. At this time it is not clear if the previous allegations can be substantiated but his current sources hint that it is unlikely.”
No sanctions or other penalties ever came from the “Sockgate” scandal.
