I’ve not been near the site since this afternoon. I plan on doing better than removing a line. Patience, please. I hope to do some research in the morning.

Again, this site and this writer have no problem admitting a mistake when one is found. Have done it that way for 3+ years.

If she’s on scholarship at Alabama, she probably also qualifies for any number of work-study/internship possibilities. This is a complete NCAA non-starter.

John:

NCAA Manual, Page 55. By-law 11.4.2, Individual Associated with a Prospective Student-Athlete—Men’s Basketball. In men’s basketball, during a two-year period before a prospective student-athlete’s anticipated enrollment and a two-year period after the prospective student-athlete’s actual enrollment, an institution shall not employ (or enter into a contract for future employment with) an individual associated with the prospective student-athlete in any athletics department noncoaching staff position.

Page 103, By-law 13.2.3.3, An institution may arrange for employment or employ any prospective student-athlete (regardless of athletics award winner status), provided the employment does not begin prior to the completion of the prospective student-athlete’s senior year in high school.

If I’m wrong, then I’m about the 10th person today to cite that very bylaw, and until I get the time to dig into the NCAA rulebook I’m not going to acquiesce to someone who doesn’t sign his name to his posts.

We’re not 100% correct. Try damn hard to be, but we’re not. When we’re wrong, we correct it. If that’s the case here, we’ll correct it or post a follow up. People who’ve read this site for 3+ years know that.

And I’m actually tucked into my Bama footie pajamas – not tucked behind a fake name. My name is Dawn. Nice to meet you.

John:

You have inaccurately cited a basketball by-law in connection with a bare allegation of rules violations in football recruiting.

You have also misinterpreted the by-law regarding employment of prospective student athletes after completion of their senior year.

That’s two eggs.

1. I didn’t say there was any truth to these claims. Just pointed out that the claims are being made.

2. I don’t have egg on my face.

3. Does it get old knowing that you have to post on this website while tucked behind a fake name? Thanks for the click, though. More money in the ol’ pocket.

Do come buy again.

Doesn’t it get old having egg on your face?

11.4.2 I ndividual Associated with a Prospective Student-Athlete—Men’s Basketball. In men’s basketball, during a two-year period before a prospective student-athlete’s anticipated enrollment and a two-year period after the prospective student-athlete’s actual enrollment, an institution shall not employ (or enter into a contract for future employment with) an individual associated with the prospective student-athlete in any athletics department noncoaching staff position.

Regarding the Justin Wilson statement about “getting a job,” you are misinterpreting by-law13.2.3.3, governing employment assistance provided after completion of the prospective student-athlete’s senior year. There is no requirement for him to stay in Tuscaloosa unless he grey shirts. If he delays college enrollment altogether until 2013, the school is free to help him find employment.

And on the Collins’ mom’s dislike of the girlfriend… I echo the sentiment from ellbama. What April Justin is alleging is too stupid, too blatant and too easily exposed to be a true account. If the girlfriend got a job at the school then it will be a job that any student could apply for and get, which means no violation at all.

I’ll never say that there’s no chance that ANY team is violating NCAA rules in some way, shape or form. But I will say definitively that there’s no chance that the Alabama staff would so egregiously and, frankly, stupidly violate NCAA rules to recruit one kid. It’s just too easy to get caught, and there’s no way they’d risk it.

Unless there’s some proof beyond this woman’s ramblings, I don’t see why anyone would continue to pay her any attention (which is clearly what she wants most).
