As per Al.com. Such is NOT an NCAA violation, though!

You're right, it's not a violation. Who knows if it's even true, seeing how his mom seems to be such an outstanding individual. Either way, if it is true I'm sure LSU fans know it's not a violation seeing how Russell Shepard's gf works in the athletic department.

It should be a violation. Nick will get caught sooner or latter. He's over signing again this year. But the SEC will ignore it's own limit of 28 because it is Al. It should change it's name to the Bama conference with 12 other teams.

his mom is beyond pissed

at first I thought she was helping in getting him here, but I think her coming off as completely crazy is pushing him away from home

How could it be anything but a violation? It's tantamount to providing money directly to the player in return for his commitment. The girlfriend in question merely acts as an illicit conduit for the funds. The cash passes from the athletic department to the girlfriend to her beloved, the recruiting prospect. It's entirely foreseeable that wages paid to the girlfriend are going to materially benefit the recruit. Why isn't that an illegal benefit? It's seems like the case for a violation is especially strong where (a) the AD/coach in question knows that the young lady is dating a highly coveted prospect; (b) the AD/coach offers or promises the job to the romantic interest before the prospect makes his final enrollment determination; (c) and the AD/coach does so with the transparent intention of inducing the prospect to commit to his institution. If that isn't a violation, then the NCAA should revisit its regulations. Form shouldn't trump substance. That's paying players.

I wouldn't believe Collin's mom if she said the sun rises in the east, sets in the west, or anything else. It was pretty obvious to me she's got an agenda the one time I heard her talk about it. I don't think LC even lives with her, does he?
