08:16 AM ET 06.27 | A pair of Georgia student-athletes may be in hot water. Columbus police interviews conducted during an investigation of the Parks and Recreation Department reveal that director Tony Adams and top lieutenant Herman Porter may have jeopardized the amateur status of two University of Georgia athletes who played on the Georgia Blazers, their city-funded, Nike-sponsored AAU basketball team. Police records show that an unauthorized bank account controlled by Adams and Porter was used to pay for flights to and from Los Angeles for Jarvis Jones, a two-sport star at Carver High School who played football for one season at the University of Southern California, and for the cell phone bill of the mother of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a five-star shooting guard from Greenville High School.

I'm convinced you can have the best compliance program ... but you just can't stop boosters from doing something stupid. This one involves the Director of the Parks & Rec department and his top lieutenant. Amazing.
