Oh my gosh, we blew smoke and have 11 pages of angst and gnashing of teeth. Most NCAA rules are stupid. I don’t have a problem pushing them to the limit.

PS: In your Bush link, remind me again, what was USC sanctioned for? I will help with the answer - Zip, Nada, Nothing!

USC or Bush hasn't been sanctioned or cleared because the NCAA hasn't ruled yet,

hence Lisa Horne's #6 in her 10 qustions for '09

As a coach...the NCAA rules are hard to understand. You will break one from time-to -time. Nothing MAJOR (unless you try to).

ALL major violations are common knowledge.

This is nothing!

What is up with Kiffin and Sarkisian and these tactics...seems a little odd that both are in violation with the use of smoke - maybe they got away with it at USC.

For the second time this month, the University of Washington and their new head coach, Steve Sarkisian, are facing allegations that they have violated NCAA recruiting bylaws.

The most recent accusation involves a recruiting trip to California this past weekend. Sarkisian and defensive coordinator Nick Holt were visiting Jordan High School recruit James Boyd, and allowed a Los Angeles Times reporter to follow along on the visit. Additionally, the Seattle Times reports, a junior teammate of Boyd’s who is said to be of interest to Washington was in attendance.

Both of those actions — having a member of the media and a junior recruit present — violates NCAA regulations.

According to NCAA bylaw 13.10, ”a member institution shall not permit a media entity to be present during any recruiting contact made by an institution’s coaching staff member.” As for the junior recruit being present, bylaws strictly prohibit off-campus recruiting contact with a player before July 1 following the completion of their junior year.

These apparent violations would likely be considered secondary in nature — meaning a potential recruit’s eligibility at the school would not be affected and no scholarships would be lost. The university also stated they are looking into the allegations.

This incident comes fresh on the heels of an on-campus incident involving multiple recruits in for a visit.

During the weekend visit which ended on the 18th of this month, potential recruit Desmond Trufant told a Scout.com recruiting website about an elaborate display set-up by the football program to mark their entrance into Husky Stadium.

“I was shocked by what they did,” Trufant said of the presentation. “They acted like it was a real game and they had smoke (in the tunnel) and we ran out of the tunnel. It was nice.”

The only problem with that is it’s also a violation of NCAA bylaws, 13.6.7.9 to be specific, “which prohibits prospects from participating in any type ‘game-day simulations’ during a visit and prohibits the use of any ‘personalized recruiting aids’”

Like this most recent incident, the first one was also considered to be a secondary violation.
