Pleaded guilty to 13 felony charges and gets a suspended prison sentence, probation and a $5000 fine? You can pull that crap and get off for the price of a lousy used car?

Wouldn't bet on it, but one can hope!

And that's why all this skeezy stuff happens (more often than people are caught). What's the worst that could happen if the payoff is millions of dollars?

This is the guy we want to spend our money jailing? Did he cause harm to anyone? He'll have the felonies on his record and he's barred from getting a license to work as an agent again.Â

I don't necessarily want him to go to jail, but I sure as heck think that he should pay more than $5000 of a fine for 13 felonies. If the penalty is so mild for a large potential pay off, it just encourages that kind of behavior. See real estate crash of 2008

Quote:In 2014, Kenneth Wainstein, former federal prosecutor commissioned by UNC to probe problems at the school, released a more than 130-page report uncovering 18 years of academic fraud.
Lest anyone forget that UNC deserves substantial sanctions.
Quote:North Carolina law requires agents to register with the Secretary of State's office and prohibits offering gifts to entice athletes to sign representation contracts.
Also, it seems that this is being prosecuted at a county level (Jeff Neiman is an assistant DA for two North Carolina counties), which may perhaps explain the lesser punishments...the violation is specifically that of a North Carolina state law that requires sports agents to be registered.
