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

Do you have any idea how much these kids get paid to work in the athletic department? It's very very little and it's also public record since its a state institution. Therefore they would be stupid to pay her any more than anyone else with the freedom of information act requiring open book keeping.
So if this girl wants to work for free to put a couple hundred bucks in her boyfriends pockets every other week, instead of having money of her own, then that shite is on her dumbass.
It's amazing the cockamamie bullshite people will cook up when their are butthurt about their football team.
