I don't know who paid for the trip, but they paid the money back once they understood eligibility issues, and it's pretty clear that since he wasn't on anyone's radar, it likely was no one associated with a team - and definitely not FSU.
This, contrasted against Penny Hardaway directly paying for James Wiseman to relocate so he could/would choose Memphis over ... FSU. Wiseman got a 12 game suspension.
It's a total joke.

Things like this are why I don't like the NCAA as a governing body. Their enforcement of their rules is way too uneven...heavy handed in some cases, kid gloves in others, and almost guaranteed to not fit the infraction.
