This seems kind of crazy that this is considered an extra benefit. I think if he accepted money from alumni or something I could see it, but paying a little bit less rent because your friends help you out? Do you guys think he should be punished, or is this kinda silly to everyone else too?

Jarrett's rent arrangement with Leinarts violated rules:
LOS ANGELES -- Southern California's Dwayne Jarrett violated NCAA rules by not paying enough rent for the apartment he shared with Matt Leinart and was declared ineligible -- though the All-America receiver might not miss any playing time.
Jarrett must apply for reinstatement with the NCAA before he can play this season and he might have to repay several thousand dollars to Leinart's father, who paid most of the rent on the apartment.
NCAA spokesman Bob Williams said Friday a case like this can be resolved in three ways: A student-athlete can be denied reinstatement, regain eligibility with no conditions attached or be required to miss games and/or pay back the extra benefit.
