This is a witch hunt, Coach Watson said the NCAA looked into it...

Just look at this headline...

NCAA declines comment as it reportedly investigates Alabama commit Darius Paige
Reporter Jason Blakeney who originally reported the story for the PNJ wrote in an email to al.com, "Folks down here who were willing to tell us the NCAA was coming in weren't willing to go into many specifics. But considering who was sent, it would appear they are taking the matter pretty seriously."

Foley High School athletic director and head football coach Todd Watson said the NCAA has not contacted the school.

"This case is over and done with," Watson said. "The AHSAA and NCAA have both looked into his transfer and found nothing wrong."

The part of the article you left out....

NCAA compliance expert John Infante, author of the Bylaw Blog, said the details of the PNJ's report seem to point to improprieties of some kind, but that the NCAA's first task would likely be to gather information about what could be a confusing case.

"At this point, I think the NCAA is trying to get a handle on what is going on," Infante said. "There are enough questions that the NCAA has a good argument for getting involved.

"I think the questions they want to answer right now is: Who was involved in this transfer? What happened as he left Washington? What happened as he got to Foley? Why did he transfer?"

Infante points out that even if Pruitt did suggest to Paige that he should transfer for academic purposes, it still would not be considered an NCAA violation.

"Now if the answers are 'Alabama told him to transfer to fix his academics' that is not by itself a problem. The biggest thing I think the NCAA is after is some background information for when Paige has to be certified academically."
