This might be silly, but is it against NCAA rules for a staff member to recommend a financial institution to graduating players?
Might not be if said staff member hadnt taken bribes to do so

It becomes illegal when the student athlete is given money and thus defrauds the University through future NCAA issues that cost the University money.
Thats why the Alabama situation is still up in the air.

There's a reason it always comes back to the money. Once it's in the system it never comes out, no matter how hard you try. It always started somewhere and it always ends somewhere.

Don't forget state ethics laws. He's got some really serious exposure there too.
He might well get to try out a pair of matching silver bracelets before all is said and done.

As much as I hate you guys and pray for your football program's demise .....I do object to your football team's very existence. I'm thinking that overall college football is pretty safe in all of this.
1) College football coaches at the P5 schools are handsomely paid so if they are taking bribes they are irresponsible fricks who have NO business in the business
2) Most of the unethical stuff that is happening in CFB is usually handled through "rogue" boosters and they are giving relatively small amounts of cash that aren't easily traceable.....happens everywhere....why middle aged overweight men pass out wads of cash to high school players is beyond me, especially if they are not looking for a quid pro quo

to your 1, thats why they targeted assistants in the bball case and not the HC's
And we already have this going on in football(players getting money from agents, advisers, and apparel) , we just dont know if admin/coaches are involved

Well, these guys doing unethical things should receive just punishment. I just hope their sins don't affect their universities unless it was a broader scheme that included the head coach, AD, etc which I would have a very hard time believeing with Avery. Pearl seems more like a sleezeball that could be involved in some way but who knows.

Because one is your HC and the other isn't.

Wrong. Because they both have histories that paint much different stories on their character.

Yep. Some of our fans are really showing their arse today. Sorry about that.
Our guys did exactly the same thing, we just may have gotten lucky.

Give me a break with this BS. Pearl lied about having recruits over to his house......trying to protect the recruits. That sorry SOB.

Right, and that's my point from the football structure aspect. For example, Matt Canada at LSU is getting paid 7 figures as an OC as is the DC...same at Bama and the position coaches are paid pretty well too. However most of the assistants in Bball are making maybe 45-60K a year.
I think due to the highly competitive nature of CFB recruiting and the fact that these kids are on campus for a minimum of three years helps to mitigate the whole agent thing . Actually on all of that, Saban really educates his players very well about the agents .

Shut the frick up. We had an asst. coach involved. You had somebody in the AD involved.

Pearl was charged by the NCAA with unethical conduct at UT and fired. Avery has a squeaky clean record. Your guy was arrested, our guy wasn't. Lots of differences so far.

Maybe you should read the story. The things he did don't bear any resemblance to the current situation. To my knowledge, he's never once been accused of personally profiting off his players.

Yet. He did break the law. To what extent is still being figured out.

There hasn't been a hint of recruiting problems............other than lying about having recruits to his house. His problem was that he lied to the NCAA.
