re: Rivals MB Response (Bama Cheats) - No editing on my part.

We've had at least two signees be academically ineligible and have to go to JUCO from every class Saban has signed, if we were able to get en qualified this easily I think we would've been doing it already, we've had prospects that are much more talented than Paige end up being ineligible due to grades, not saying Paige isn't good cause he's very good.Sounds like a made up story to me imo.

standard operating procedure. how else would a place like bama be able to secure the services of a 3 star defensive tackle? also, we fix grades so much that none of our commits ever have to go the junior college route, etc... of wait, yes they do (dial, belue, etc..) this is one of the more ludicrous things i have read in a while.

lol exactly, this story doesn't make any sense imo.

yep, no way we are pulling strings for a 3 star 270 lbs tackle. we are loaded with d line recruits form the last class. also, what kind of athletic director for a school goes and posts confidential information about a high school player on a sports board? this is a pretty poorly thought out troll

I might consider believing this if it weren't for the points already raised by others in this thread and a little thing called FERPA. If that's really the AD, that's one stupid mf'er. It isn't, though.

nothing to see here, please move along.

Another reason this is bullshite: DJ Fluker is very intelligent and is an excellent student. Always has been.

good call. if this actually is a school official, he is likely getting fired soon

"Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):
School officials with legitimate educational interest;
Other schools to which a student is transferring;
Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
Accrediting organizations;
To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law."

rivals sports board is oddly not on the list.

If that story were legitimate, which it is obviously not, the AD who posted it has just broken the law and proudly identified himself while he did it. So I guess if he gets fired and suit filed against him tomorrow we'll know it's legitimate.

also, since when did high schools start getting athletic directors? i must be older than i feel

Every high school has one. It is usually the head football coach.
