- The NCAA's final report revised up the total of impermissible benefits by $4,000 to $59,000.
- The NCAA found the Whitney Hotel charged a rate of $14.95 per athlete for two-bedroom suites. The NCAA said the rate should've been more than $57 per night for each athlete. One football player who spent more than year at the hotel, the NCAA said, received an extra benefit worth $19,280.
- Former South Carolina compliance director Jennifer Stiles had said the hotel rate was comparable to other available off-campus housing. The NCAA called her assessment "flawed" in correspondence from 2010, and said the school should have compared the rate to the price for others who stayed at the Whitney long term.
- The NCAA also alleged that South Carolina received $8,000 in improper benefits from the Student Athlete Mentoring Foundation. SAMF president Steve Gordon and treasurer Kevin Lahn were found to have paid for several unofficial visits by Gamecocks freshman receiver
Damiere Byrd. Both Gordon and Lahn are South Carolina graduates.
- Lahn also paid for a $3,350 dinner cruise on nearby Lake Murray for several prospects.
- The university has disassociated itself from three boosters; Gordon, Lahn, and Whitney general manager Jamie Blevins.
- Questions about agents have had a significant impact on South Carolina. The Gamecocks threw the star tight end Weslye Saunders off the team because of problems involving agents
