FSU's best basketball recruit from last year, Baba Miller - who chose FSU over Gonzaga, among others - received a 16 game suspension for getting transportation from Spain to the US to go to a recruiting camp before he was ever being recruited by anyone, when he decided it was better for his career to play college basketball instead of for Real Madrid. 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.
