Title: Isn't this receiving improper benefits?

All joking aside, this is a great story.  The Wake Forest baseball coach is donating a kidney to one of his players.

It should be.  It better be.

When I was a Tiger Tutor, I got chastised for giving a basketball player a pencil so he could do his homework. 

Auburn got hit with probation for giving a kid and his struggling family a nice dinner. 

I'm sorry but if the NCAA is going to be tyrannical about 99% of the "improper benefits" cases, then they need to check on this one as well.

Did the pencil have $100 taped to it?

Helluva decision. The donor gets the worst of it in these cases (surgically speaking).

This kid might be able to come back and play ball, but I wonder what they'll do about his drug testing. When you get a kidney, you take a huge amount of steroids. LOL
