wait, hold up, where did you read that we "sent" anyone to a particular school. We can't make someone go anywhere.
Exactly.
And I don't think Bama even has a chance at being in trouble with this story unless it comes out that the reason he transferred to Foley was because grades were being changed, helped, etc.
And that's purely conjecture for message board fodder.

No, like Foley HS. This is Darius Paige's coach in Florida. The Pensacola newpaper went to get records for school under FIA and school told them they couldn't comply because they were under investigation by the NCAA

cant figure out how an investigation could uncover grade changes at a school the kid has not even attended yet?

I scanned it. It might be an investigation from the FHSAA. Can't access at this time. Investigation could be about the ad.
If you can't access the link you are referring to and can't read it well enough to know if it is the FHSAA or AHSAA or NCAA investigating, why did you make a thread?

From the link it's pretty clear that either Escambia County Schools System or FHSAA that is investigating NOT the NCAA

Okay so let me see if I have this straight.
Months ago, some cracker from Tennessee says he has info on AU and its LINK ]raging.
Then some dude from a highschool in Florida insinuates UA is grade fixing. He bases this insinuation off of a conversation in which a UA coach says Foley can "take care of" the recruit.
Now, a high school counselor (?), an AU grad (hmm), admits to grade fixing for an AU recruit.
Now the NCAA is investigating the goings on of the previous alleged manipulating of a recruit's high school education by UA.
Has anything like this happened before? I'm too young to know and too lazy to google. Have the mysterious powers-that-be that both UA and AU insist each other have ever come to blows like this before? What was the result?
tl;dr

I think you are confused on who is investing who. It's not the NCAA investing. It's the school investing the employee (Faucheaux)
The statute reads, “Any complaint and any material relating to the investigation of a complaint against an employee shall be confidential and exempt from the provisions of s. 119.07(1) until the conclusion of the preliminary investigation or until such time as the preliminary investigation ceases to be active.”
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibits educators from releasing any information regarding a student’s education record.

yep. from even a cursory skimming of that article its pretty clear the school officials are the ones being investigated
Posted on 8/10/12 at 10:07 pm to narddogg81
Escambia County School District Deputy Superintendent Norm Ross
This is the guy investigating. In the article he says they are investigating the communication between the AD and everybody he whined to. People should not start threads unless they have the facts. No offense

Post about Trent Richardson on tigerdroppings
Is this what tigerbait65 posted on rivals
Just needed to post again because BAMA assistant coach Jeremy Pruitt accused our new head football coach and myself of bullying Darius Paige. We simply told Darius that if he transferred that there was a chance of him being ineligible. The assistant coach mentioned again that he needed to know if we could take care of Darius academically. Again we told him we were not going to give Darius's any grades. I sure the hell will not cave in to these cheating SOBs.
Our head football coach resigned on June 11, 2012. About a week later I got a call from one of our assistant coaches, informing me that Darius Paige, a DT at our school Booker T. Washington HS in Pensacola, who is committed to BAMA that it was suggested to him by BAMA assistant Coach Jeremy Pruitt to transfer to Foley HS like DJ Fluker because he can be taken care of academically there because he knew the head coach at Foley HS real well. Our assistant coach call Coach Pruitt and asked what was going on and Coach Pruitt's response was since we were in between head coaches and he wasn't sure if we had an academic plan for Darius Paige. About a week later, I called Darius Paige to ask him if he was transferring and he said yes. I informed him that I would be contacting the NCAA, SEC, and the Alabama HS Athletic Association. I then left a message for Coach Pruitt to call me and he later called me back. I asked why he was telling Darius to transfer. He told me Darius was using him as a scapegoat because he really wanted to leave. I then told him that Darius wouldn't lie about something like this. I then told him that if Darius did transfer he would be ineligible. His immediate response was "NO" it is a bonafide move. My response was I thought you had nothing to do with it now you are telling me it is a bonafide move. He then proceeded to tell me that at Foley HS Darius could make up 7 core classes in one year. I informed him that I would be contacting whoever I needed to and hung up. Up til this afternoon Darius has admitted that he does not want to go the Foley, but it was not his decision that his dad was making him go. I also found out the link between Coach Pruitt and the head coach at Foley Todd Watson. Todd Watson was the defensive coordinator at Hoover HS in Alabama and Jeremy Pruitt was his defensive back coach at Hoover under Todd Watson. Up until 2:30 this yesterday afternoon Darius stills tells us he does not want to go
