Stripgate 2010....

This week was a pretty big recruiting week for MSU. They had several recruits on campus and tried to show them a good time. What they didn't know, was that a few recruits would blab their mouths about it on facebook.

3 recruits were taken by their "host" to a local joint just up the road near West Point, MS. Now if you've recently made the trip down I-45 near West Point, you would now about a certain place called the Pony. You know, the big, pink building with the 20 ft tall medal stallion in the parking lot.

LINK for reference, may be NSFW ads.


Now here's the 3 players in question:
Robert Johnson

Jay Hughes

Jameon Lewis


Notice all of them are on record as admitting to being taken to the Pony on their facebook pages.


Now, I know what you're thinking as you down your microwavable Whitecastle burgers and RC Cola.....you're thinking, "But Pank, o what if some 18 year old guys went to a strip club. That isn't illegal." Well hold on there chaps. Listen to this NCAA ruling dealing with recruitment.

---

13.6.1 Institutional Policies. An institution must have written departmental policies related to official visits that apply to prospective student-athletes, student hosts, coaches and other athletics administrators that are approved by the institution’s president or chancellor and kept on file at the institution and conference office. The institution is responsible for the development and enforcement of appropriate policies and penalties regarding specified areas, as identified by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors. The institution shall have an outside entity (e.g., conference office) evaluate its policies related to official visits once every four years. The institution may be held accountable through the NCAA enforcement program for activities that clearly demonstrate a disregard for its stated policies. (Adopted: 8/5/04, Revised: 3/8/06)
