Texas A&M on Probation

[Kace-1]

Texas A&M football was placed on probation for a year and coach Jimbo Fisher was given a six-month show-cause order after he and the program were found to have violated NCAA recruiting and athletic-related activity rules.

The findings, released on Thursday, stemmed from violations between January 2018 and February 2019, including an instance where Fisher and an assistant coach had impermissible contact with a recruit. As part of the negotiated resolution, the school had to end recruitment of the recruit in question.

This is from the CBS article. "The punishments stem from an incident in which Fisher and an assistant had impermissible recruiting contact with a player at his high school. The contact violated NCAA rules because it happened before the player had completed his junior year of high school.'

Shows you what I know about recruiting and the rules. No contact prior to completion of their junior year? Hell, I thought schools could start contacting kids as early as the 8th grade. Didn't Kiffey boy offer an 8th grader a scholly when he was at USC?

WOW, I can’t imagine what UNC will get for keeping their athletes eligible with fake classes......Ohh that’s right, that’s not an improper or extra benefit. An certainly couldn’t be used as a recruiting benefit.

Seems like a good 6 months to have a "no going to houses" ban.

In person contact with the player.

You can call or write or text them whenever you wish...just no in person contact. Exception would be incidental contact with the player if you are visiting another player. (That's probably abused quite a lot)

Also, does anyone really give a shit about the NCAA anymore?

There was a group of Aggie science students that wanted to take a trip to the sun, but some UT students said that was impossible and that they would burn up along the way before they reached the sun.

The Aggies replied, “We’re going to travel at night!”

By the time this virus settles down, and the NCAA chimes in, I fear we'll all get probation until at least the spring.
