I have read that. According to your reading of the rules, if you pay someone and they help you during the recruiting process, it's a violation. This would mean that hiring taxi drivers is a violation.
If the taxi driver was sleeping over at your house and had an established personal relationship with you outside of a normal scouting relationship and the taxi driver was being paid by the school, yes. Its in black and white, why you refuse to read and understand the rule is beyond me.
There isn't a rule against recruiting services having relationships with PSAs.
Yes there is a rule against "services" be provided by someone paid by the University and if the person or recruiting service providing has a relationship outside of a normal one. I am the NCAA calls "sleeping over for a few nights" improper.
So, Lyles mind is good enough to "believe" that he "crossed a line" but not good enough to determine that he didn't steer players?
He may not have knowingly steered, but it is very clear that Oregon knew he was. Deny all you want, I will bet good money that is what they were doing.
Having a relationship with the players is not a violation. It's the reason why he had valuable information.
A relationship that is outside of a normal working relationship like Lyles has had with Lache is a violation.
I've read all of the related bylaws multiple times now. Which specific rule do you think Oregon violated?
13.2.14 (b) clearly states what is deemed a "representative of the University". Therefore when Lyles was having his sleepovers, he had clearly violated this bylaw.
According to what rule?
13.2.14 and 13.2.13
According to what rule?
13.2.14 and 13.2.13.....again
So, you agree that trying to comply with the written materials requirement does not demonstrate a cover-up?
Much like Bruce Pearl, complying after the fact that you have been caught is, in fact, a cover up
He says as emphatically as he can that he didn't steer anyone anywhere. He has said this in multiple interviews now.
What he is saying and what his actions were (according to him) are very different.
According to what rule?
Tired of wasting my breath......13.2.14 and 13.2.13
Where does it say that? Do you think that paying a taxi driver makes them a booster?
No, and in the bylaws is actually states that the University can pay a taxi driver to transport a PSA
It's the other way around. If a person gives money to the program, they are a booster. There is no rule stating that anyone who is paid is a booster.
You should read it again
