Nexus Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Take not of this, Jim Tressel. Georgia found out about five violations the school committed stemming from their recruitment of defensive end Ray Drew and they reported it right away. They didn't wait eight months in hopes that Drew could still play this season or anything! Continue Reading Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 How does the author even mention this in the same breath as the Tressel/OSU situation. Stupid and avoidable, yeah. Unethical, sketchy, etc., no way. Sucks that this was the result of David Pollack's attendance. That guy sucks, SO bad. Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The thing is why not have secondary violations? It really doesn't matter in any way. How many secondary violations has Ohio State had in the past ten years? Isn't it something like 400? Has that given them a bad reputation among the college football world? The recruiting world? Cut off ties to certain high schools? The answer is no to all. Look at the Tevin Mitchell situation. Secondary violation and no punishment. They get their guy, get a slap on the wrist and move on. In this case Georgia tells someone they have a secondary violations, gets a slap on the wrist and in the end gets a game changing, five star DE. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Georgia self-reported another secondary violation having to do with 2011 commit RB Isaiah Crowell. LINK Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 My theory on this in all seriousness is that schools (in this case, Georgia) are making an effort to report a number of their secondary violations in the hopes that the NCAA or conference will figure, "hey, they self-report everything sketchy that they do, we don't have to monitor as closely" and then the schools will proceed to do even sketchier stuff that will, hopefully, go unnoticed. Either that or my school hired a new compliance officer who either needs to keep his mouth shut or needs to be fired. Quote Link to comment
