Ohio state Self reported violation

quote:

That's right, the bombshell violation featured one of the most polarizing football players on the planet. Here's what happened: Linebacker prospect Clifton Garrett, who signed with LSU on Feb. 5, called Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer on March 9, 2013, only to find out he was on vacation and eating lunch with Tebow. Here's what happened next, per the school's self-report via Lesmerises

Upon receiving the call, Coach Meyer informed Garrett that he was on vacation and having lunch with friends and family, including Tim Tebow. Garrett asked Coach Meyer if he could wish Tebow good luck on the upcoming season. Coach Meyer handed the phone to Tebow and Garrett conversed with Tebow for approximately eight seconds. Coach Meyer stated that no recruiting conversation occurred, there was no intent to have Tebow recruit on behalf of Ohio State and he, in fact, did not recruit on behalf of Ohio State.

After Garrett tweeted about the phone call, Ohio State had no choice but to add it to the list: I just called Coach Meyer just ta see whats up and next thing you know I was talking on the phone to TIM TEBOW!!! #InShockRightNow #Insane! — Clifton Garrett CG3™ (@CG340) March 9, 2013

Yeah, LSU and Clifton are in the clear. And I HIGHLY doubt it was just a coincidence that tebow happened to get on the phone. Having said that, doubt tOSU gets anything from this.

The NCAA has some of the most ridiculous violations that I have seen of any organization. Anybody remember the recent Pasta Heist?

That's a minor violation. They wouldn't lay off a recruit over that.

It's only a matter of time before Ohio State hires someone to suicide bomb the NCAA.
Repercussions because a kid, called them, and posted about it on twitter..
and basically forfeiting a national championship because commercialism dictated that the demand was there for someone to supply 100 bucks for Terrelle Pryor's pants on ebay..
The NCAA is the most ridiculous organization in the history of the world. PETA is about a gazillion miles behind at number 2.
then the nazis.

I'm sure urban was totally innocent.



Why did he have to say he was hanging out with Timmy? He didn't. He was using it to recruit him
