I understand that interaction with an agent is a violation, but this?

quote:

The second violation involved a recruit who met an ex-LSU player on the sideline during a game this season and shook his hand. Another prospect took a picture with a music artist that was on the sideline.


What a bunch of BS. I can understand intentions of not wanting NFL stars contacting recruits, but shaking a former players hand and taking a picture?

Yet Alabama can pay their players and have 2 coaching staffs. Unfricking believable.

The former player meeting the recruit is a violation that doesn't actually carry a penalty. So is it really a violation? Not really, but our compliance office has decided to change our sideline policy because of it.

Bo Bahnsen can eat a whole bowl of dicks.

So, what about Trent Richardson and McElroy helping out with Bama practices?

I guess they just didn't shake hands...

I know Alex Bregman was posing for pictures with a bunch of different baseball recruits when he was in for the Alabama game. I saw a few posted on-line.

I know Shaq has talked to basketball recruits when he comes to football games, if any are visiting at that time.

This is a wink-wink-nod-nod rule that has no repercussions, but they enforce these little admin issues to keep it from expanding and becoming a big deal.

I fail to understand how an meeting an ex-LSU player/alum is a violation of any kind with recruiting. What's the point of using former player's pictures & videos all over the athletic facilties but these kids can't actually shake their hands?!?!?

So are we to believe that Bo Jackson, Shaq, Tebow, Flutie, name them all are barred from meeting recruits in any on-campus setting? What if they meet a kid as say a freshman or sophomore that isn't being recruited but then becomes a recruit by their junior or senior years?

These were self reported violations, and no penalties because of it. Oh well. Let's move on.

These are SELF REPORTED violations. The NCAA could give a shite less about them. It's just our department doing their job.

The NCAA has to have rules. Some of you all need to get a grip.

If the NCAA were to punish us for this, then it's a whole 'nother deal. But they aren't and it's a 'hey, don't do that again' type of deal.

Former bama NFL players can run as scout team players... seems like this 'contact' could amount to a considerable number of secondary violations.

A handshake should never be a violation unless a C note is being passed. Think about that for a second, a handshake. A handshake is a ritual as old as our species. How can it be a violation?

It makes no sense. Shaking hands is a no no but you can bring former players to practice to run scout team? So you can tackle them but don't dare shake their hand! Unreal.

So, in the world of the NCAA, it is a violation to shake someone's hand, take a picture with someone, and ride in a car with someone.

How do they determine all of this with a straight face?

"WHAT?!? An LSU player took a picture with an NFL player?"

It's a stupid rule, but I remember USC getting investigated for Pete Carol having Reggie Bush on speaker phone while Joe McKnight was in the room and Reggie telling Joe that there was nothing to worry about as far as the NCAA investigation. Then Joe came out and said Reggie wasn't on speaker phone, Pete just repeated what Reggie said, so there was no direct interaction.

But Bama can have NFL players practice with them? I know he's not on a current team, but he was at least signed to a team as of last year. Holy frick the NCAA is corrupt. The NCAA needs a good cleansing just like Trump is about to do with the government. Can the people elect the next NCAA president? The fans and universities should really start voicing their opinion on the shite arse NCAA.

NCAA is a joke. It is in place to make sure that favored teams have an advantage if/when/whereas it is needed. Maybe they should have a look at how 'Bama gets year after year of #1 recruiting class. I am sure it is just because there is no other place on earth to play football...
