How can "free cellphones and service, airfare, lodging, meals and apparel" be worth only $270? 

If the other items weren't violations, why include them in the report.

If they were, why wasn't restitution ordered?

A forward from Bonifay in Florida's panhandle, Walker sat out 12 games, or 40 percent of the season, because the NCAA determined he "received preferential treatment from five people, including two agents." The NCAA said Walker and people close to him accepted free cellphones and service, airfare, lodging, meals and apparel while he was a prospect.

He was ordered to donate the $270 received from the agents to a charity of his choice and serve 80 hours of community service.
