It wasn't even technical cheating.

As for $17,000 provided to a second Cuban athlete, Peterson denies any
failure to monitor the situation, and does not agree that this matter even belongs in
the NCAA investigation. BYU initially agreed.

This second Cuban showed up on a booster's doorstep as a refugee who
would be deported back to his country but for humanitarian aid. The $17,000 is an
eye-catching figure characterized by the NCAA as inducements given by a booster.
But virtually all the money identified in this investigation was paid to private legal
counsel to have this individual stay in the United States.
"What would any decent person have done?" asks Peterson. "This booster even now believes he did the right thing for this young man, who later joined the LDS church. The booster told the young man that if he accepted assistance he would not be able to play volleyball for BYU. This defection and assistance given had nothing to do with
the recruitment of a volleyball player."
