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.

Yeah, I don't see much point in even posting this stuff. It's not a violation, so move on. The kid committed to AL. Get over it.

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.

Didn't She work there before they started dating and that's how they met? (question here not an accusation)

Also, is her uncle a big supporter of Bama football, owns a Mercedes Benz dealership in Bama and he gave her niece (Landon's girlfriend)a brand new Mercedes?

If LC were a power forward, it would have been a violation. How this makes any sense, I have no idea.

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

that's not my favorite part of this saga.

remember when LC was interviewed on Tuscaloosa radio?

He is quoted on TD as having said he had a warm relationship with an assistant's wife, Connie.

Really? what the hell is that all about?

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.
