The rule was very specific of the ramifications if the kid changed his mind and went elsewhere. That part is on the coaches. They knew the kid was flip flopping and still contacted him outside the rules. Don't blame them but they knew the rule and broke it

That's kind of disingenuous.

They didn't "break" any rule. They get unlimited contact with the FAA. They're only in trouble if the kid doesn't do what he says he's going to do.

I thought the whole point of the FAA was to allow coaches to make sure others aren't trying to flip them, hence the unlimited contact.

Isn't it commonplace for kids to sign more than one FAA?? So wouldn't a team always get screwed in that situation???

frick Womack, Saban, Bama, Hootie for trying this shite last year, and especially the SEC.

I honestly wish we would head to the ACC or Big 12. We constantly get the shaft for the Bama teams.

My big concern is how this impacts Savion. Isn't he an early enrollee??? Does this mean he can't have financial aid for the spring semester???

Not sure if he cant have the financial aid or if he just cant sign the FAA until he is enrolled. Not sure why if he wants to enroll he couldn't apply for Financial Aid like every other student.

Read the rule. I read it when it was made last spring and told people to beware of it because its dangerous. It very clearly states that if the kid doesn't sign with your school, that the school is subject to violating contact rules. That's what happened. It doesn't matter that the kid was committed. What mattered is where he enrolled. He didn't enroll at LSU so LSU coaches broke the rule that is very clear. Don't see how it can be seen any other way.

That doesn't mean I think the rule is right or that the punishment is justified bit, per the rules clear wording, our coaches broke the rule. There is nothing disingenuous about what I said. Just facts.

Also to your point, yes it does mean any school that signs a kid that signed multiple agreements is gonna be guilty if they contact outside of the rules and don't enroll the kid. Why I think there will be, and must be, other violators.

Also your second paragraph makes the point that they broke the rule. They made unlimited contact and didn't enroll the kid. That is breaking the rule. The rule is clear. All of the rule not just the part expaling the advantages of the faa. Have to read the part about the disadvantages as well. Our staff was fine all the way up to the point that Womack enrolled at Bama. At that point, rules broken.
