[edit] NCAA Influence
After Henthorn provided room and board and academic support for college basketball player Jamal Crawford, the NCAA suspended Crawford for six games while it launched an investigation of Crawford for violating rules on amateurism. As a result of the exposure that the investigation received the NCAA vowed to revisit its criteria for and position on amateurism in college athletics. [1]
