They sure are watching it. I know Boise St. got dinged because an a couple of exchange student-athletes from the Netherlands came to the U.S. a few weeks before they enrolled and got "benefits" from their host family (like meals).
There's obviously potential for abuse there but as usual, the NCAA's rules and enforcement of them just never seem to line up with common sense. They crack down immediately on the fringe-level players and ignore Miami for years, and to tie in basketball and this thread, never, ever punish John Calipari, but instead the coaches that have to clean up his messes.
