But IF the stories about extra cash for camps and the promises of an SEC job are true, then I'd like to see Alabama tagged with yet another NCAA violation. And if those tactics aren't against NCAA regs, they sure as hell ought to be.
By the way, I don't expect this kid to attend OSU and that's fine. I just don't want recruits influenced by factors that smack of sleaze.
very, very doubtful that the NCAA tries to put a stop to it. For starters this kind of shit has been happening for decades, it is one of the dirtier aspects of the profession for sure, but this sort of deal is ubiquitous in College Football. But the biggest reason why no one will rise any objection to this practice is a pretty basic one. The greatest source for NCAA investigations into recruiting practices come from the staffs of schools who lost out on an a kid. They might know about inappropriate behavior on the part of a rival school, but won't leak a word of it if they land him. As for offering jobs to high school coaches to get their kids, no one will say shit about that because it is something that nearly every program in the country has done or has been willing to do over the years. No one will rat out another program for doing something that they would do themselves. Lastly, and most importantly, if the NCAA didn't take a systemic look at this practice in the wake of the Albert Means scandal they sure as fuck aren't going to do it over Trey DePriest.
