The Regime Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Top Kentucky recruit Enes Kanter, received more than $100,000 in cash and benefits over three years from the professional team he played for here, according to the team’s general manager. Nedim Karakas, said the club had given banking and housing records to the N.C.A.A. that show Kanter received benefits that could jeopardize his amateur status for college basketball. “I am sorry for telling this for Enes, but we cannot lie if someone asks the whole story, we cannot hide,” Karakas said. Fenerbahce stands to benefit if Kanter is declared ineligible to play college basketball since the team would be due a transfer fee if he plays in Europe next season, but Karakas said turning in the documents to the N.C.A.A. eligibility center was a matter of telling the truth. “This is real, and the N.C.A.A.’s main goal is to protect the amateur side of sports,” Karakas said. Kanter was one of the stars of the 2010 Nike Hoop Summit. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/69029/20100908/kanters_turkish_team_paid_him_$100k_in_cash_and_benefits/ Calipari is fully cooperative with the investigation thus far, but I won't be surprised if Kansas really did pay the guy.
