NEW: Lawyers for Curtis Blackwell have detailed allegations MSU's Mark Dantonio committed multiple NCAA violations, one for securing jobs for parents of recruits, and one for allowing Blackwell to recruit off-campus.

Blackwell's lawyers allege:

?Dantonio orchestrated employment for the parents of two MSU football players, with mega-donor Bob Skandalaris, whose name is on the football facility.

?Dantonio had Blackwell accompany him on a Metro Detroit home visit of an unnamed five-star recruit, when Blackwell, in his role as director of college advancement and performance, wasn't authorized to conduct off-campus visits.

Dantonio said in his Jan. 10 deposition that Blackwell never did any home visits because it would've been an NCAA violation. He did recall Blackwell once traveling with him to see a recruit, but that Blackwell remained in the car.

In his filing, Paterson said Blackwell "is prepared to provide the court with an affidavit attesting" to the visit of the five-star recruit, which can be "verified by the former five-star recruit and his parents, who were also present during the recruiting visit."


Yikes


If that second allegation is true and the recruit’s parents provide sworn statements, it means Dantonio lied under oath
