Did Kifin violate any rules?

Is there a rule which requires a school to announce when it has received an LOI? As part of the Jackson recuiting saga, it has been said that Jackson sent his LOI to UT on Wednesday, but UT asked him not to announce until Thursday. By haveing Jackson delay his ammouncement, according to the rumors,UT was able to secure a committment from Darren Myles and also, LSU ended up with an unused scholarship.
I would think there would be a rule designed to prevent this kind of deception, is there?

No, there isn't but recruits will start to get weary of the promises made.

Thanks Link. I am not up on the rules and was just wondering. By the way, I think the NCAA should look at some sort of rule to prevent this.

What? C'mon. Of course not, but it was done to us.

If Jackson had not signed with UT, under circumstances which indicate that he signed and that he and UT intentionally withheld the information, this would not be an issue. However, since, apparently, that is what went down, I thought it was a good question.

I don't understand why there should be a rule like this...What happens a lot on signing day is that the kids fax in their LOIs, then wait til their designated time to publicly announce where they're going.

I don't know how you could really. Does it stink for Myles if that played a role for him? Yes. Does a kid sign a D1 scholarship expecting to just be handed the starting position. No. Kids need to realize that this game is played both ways. They toy with schools and schools toy with them. It's just the way it is. I don't condone this action by any means but there is no way to stop it. This is definetly one of the slimiest things done in recent memory though. The fact that Coaches, players, and parents all agreed to it is mind boggling.

Of course you don't; it benifited your program.

And the Jackson - Richardson situations aren't even close to this.

But, it appears that Jackson faxed the LOI into UT and then made up an excuse to delay his announcement, apparently at the request of the UT coaches. I am not saying that the school should be required to announce a signing immediately (especially when the recruit has a press conference scheduled) but they should be required to announce any commits that are not made public within a couple of hours.

Covington, I know what you are saying but it wouldn't matter. They just would have told Janzen to hold onto the paperwork for a day. They don't have to officially send in the LOI. Think about Terell Pryor. He postponed it for a couple of weeks.

I never said it was. I was saying that making a rule like that won't happen because of this.
And where do all of the Tigers fans get off saying that Myles' signing with UT hinged on the decision of Jackson? There is no proof that this had anything to do with Jackson. He said that he wanted to be with Tennessee when he was on his visit.
Nowhere but TD is Myles mentioning that he wouldn't have gone to UT. It seems like you're grasping at straws.
Besides, ya'll just signed one of the highest rated classes ever. Enjoy your incredible recruiting.

I'm not sure where the Myles stuff came from, but, it does seem that some of this year's top recruits were waiting to see what others did before making their committment. Besides, if Jackson had sent in his LOI to UT on Wednesday, why would UT delay in announcing it? I would think they would want his committment out as soon as possible. However, it appears that UT wanted to keep it quiet. Why would they do that unless they thought it could help on other recruits?

No school ever posts the acceptance of a letter until the recruit makes his announcement.
Posted on 2/6/09 at 3:55 pm to crusse10
So you think Myles would have signed knowing that Jackson had already signed? If so, why the bullshite about Mom not being there?

You are right, there is no requirement for the recruits to send in the LOI's on signing day. That is not what I'm saying. I think there should be a rule requiring the schools to announce the reciept of an LOI within a short period of time after they receive it. It would not force the players to commit any earlier, just prevent the schools from holding an LOI without making it public.

Maybe his mom wasn't there. Not everything has to be a lie.

i dont even care if he broke a rule, kiffin is an arse. do you know how hard it is to be the most hated man in the SEC? jesus he didnt even let JJ have his moment. very obviously JJ wanted to announce on his own terms, yet Kiff told the press Wednesday and Thursday to expect a 5 star currently committed to another sec school. gosh, i wonder who that could have been.

Why are there so many new Tenn fans on TD.com?
Tenn and it's boards are so great and you get to pump each other up over there. Yet, you are here joining an LSU board in bunches. Why is that?

Well, I actually came over here because a quote of mine referring to Bama was misquoted without the post that I responded to. I didn't want something I said to be taken incorrectly.
I do, on the other hand, enjoy lookin' around here. It's a nice board, and I don't want to try and cause trouble. I have no real problem with LSU...Just Bama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio State, USC, Texas, and Steve Spurrier.
