Minor Recruiting violation for Peyton Allen

[Cdizzle]

First, I hope this was not done with intent, as some have alluded. If so, I would be extremely disappointed.

Second, and not offence to Mr. Allen, but I don't see this as the recruit that was suddenly worth intentionally breaking rules for, compared to some of the other recruits we've had on the table the last year or two.

Has anyone considered that maybe this wasn't a "dumb mistake?" The kid had other visits he was planning to take. Perhaps meeting him AND his parents that evening was the only/best time to get together. We all know how smart this staff is. Perhaps this was the best way to make sure that none of those other visits were necessary. And perhaps it was determined that given the consequences, it was worth it to insure that this kid and his family were wooed by WSU. I have not heard nor seen anything to this effect, but it just seems kind of logical.

Zero chance my friends...

I just don't see a staff with no rule breaking history intentionally breaking rules and then turning yourself in with penalties. A minor oversight for a rule technicality makes more sense.

I equate this to the same thing as a Speeding ticket,, yes it's against the rules ,, but opps sorry got a little ahead of ourselves. pay the ticket and move on.

To take your illustration a little farther, it would be like driving down 21st and the speed limit changing from 45 mph to 40 mph and accidentally overlooking the sign noting the change.

But as a resident that has driven that stretch of road 5,000 times and should know that it changes even without reading the sign this time.

It could be that the coach said to staff, "schedule this thing"
Staff: It's done
Coach: When do they arrive
Staff: Before supper
Coach: I'll meet them, then.

Coach picks them up and treats them to supper.

well, if so, that's inexcusable

Obviously a very slow time of year for this to garner 23 replies (yes, I know -- now 24) and some creative speculation.

I just don't get it, minor or not, GM has been in the business long enough to know what is and what is not allowed. The Devil is always in the details.

It's Sexton fault.

By all means make a MOUNTAIN out of a mole hill if ya'll want. But to me this is pretty much a ....Mehhh moment

If the coaches know the in's and out's of every single NCAA regulation, then what does this guy do?

By the way, they have a complicance officer at every NCAA school to help guide the coaches, athletes, and fan base on what is allowed and what isn't. Small violations happen with somewhat regularity.

No, I heard it was JA's fault. Let's get rid of her now.
