Recruiting Violation?

I don’t think that is the intent of the rule. I’m just guessing here, but I believe they’re talking about performance simulation as in setting up some kind of athletic contest scenario. It could lead to an athlete “trying out” for the team.

Much ado about nothing.

Remember when Nueheisel committed a violation by having a some kind of pickup basketball contest with a recruit? Ridiculous, they should concern themselves with more serious matters.

Remember we’re U$C North now and that means we’re untouchable. Someone call Uncle Pete to get these guys off our backs! ;O)

The cougars commit all kinds of infractions, the difference is with them being who they are and where they are, no one cares! They are invisible!

Neu simply hit a shot from the court and asked the recruit if he could do it. Not even a game of PIG and it was twisted and construed that it was an athletic evaluation.

An actual pickup basketball game would be an athletic violation because you can evaluate the recruit. A random shot on a basketball court is just having fun.

The rule UW broke also explains no “personal recruiting”. While many schools routinely break many of these secondary violation rules, few of them have them published in newspapers. Oregon’s comic books should get them a firm slap on the wrist at the very least.

this is total crap,usc did way worse,we still haven,t recovered from what the ncaa put us thru,and why are all these couger fans all over our blogs go coug it scrubs,there just terrified of what’s coming in football and basketball,go dawgs,the ncaa can kiss my ass,what about sc having players names stiched on the inside of there jerseys,and boosters paying,bush,leinart,mayo,and who knows who else,the ncaa better pretend this never happened.

Slick Rick would have had UW Recruits playing in a full on Ultimate Frisbee scrimmage with Jake Locker throwing to them while they ran routes and everything. Then he would have told the NCAA its Rule was ambiguous.

Is it a rule violation, probably so. The NCAA has so many ass-a-nine recruiting violations that it is virtually impossible for any school not to violate something every year. The intent was not to violate any rules. Chalk it up to lesson learned and let’s all just move on.

No problem…this is a non event.

…are very bitter and especially about the Trufant commitment.

I keep waiting for Sark or Holt to respond by saying, “What?! That’s a recruiting violation? We did it every weekend at SC.”

I don’t think you will hear that.

The thing with secondary violations is that you report them and don’t repeat the same mistake twice. Working closely with your compliance director and defining what you can and can’t do takes some time.
