So I overheard some guys talking at the store and one od them mentioned that his cousin is getting recruited to play football for a D-I school but he would only agree to play for the school if the university agreed to give his sister a full scholarship as well (academic). Just something I overheard so I don't have too many details, but is this a recruiting violation for a school to do this? If not, how often does this happen?

bama gave landon collins' girlfriend a scholly for him to go to bama so I would guess it's not illegal

I don't see anything wrong with it.

I think it's illegal. But happens all the time because the NCAA has no control over who the school deems eligible for academic aid.

The only thing with that is, its hard to (or at least I would imagine) fudging an academic scholly. Athletic schollys are pretty subjective, but I think academic ones are pretty cut and dry. They cant give one to someone who has a 2.5 GPA.
