ASU is being investigated by the NCAA for recruiting violations.

I don’t expect anything to come from it because the NCAA is a joke, but I can hope!

ASU’s entire recruiting pitch is Coronas and coeds.

What red-blooded 18-year-old male wouldn’t go for that?

[UteBacker]

I’m in.  Where do I sign?

And apparently they’re willing to PAY YOU to drink Coronas and grope coeds. Frankly I don’t understand how they didn’t get every decent HS football player in the country.

Hope what?  One of the quality football programs in the conference gets bum rushed by the NCAA because they are just big enough to make an example of but not too big to cause blow back.  You can hope for more negative headlines for the PAC12?  I don’t get it.  (Yeah, they take recruits but we get some of theirs too.)

The death penalty would be fine with me. I can’t stand ASU. It’ll be a slap on the wrist, though. Arizona basketball was paying players and nothing happened so I can’t imagine this will be any different.

NCAA is investigating Arizona State for allegations related to the football program.

The allegations include paying players, MAJOR recruiting violations, Covid violations, and other things that have left serious concern about the coaching staff being able to coach this season.

“Herminated” by the end of the month.

Az St didn’t give a damn

Wow.  Some pretty scathing stuff in this Yahoo article.

[Duhwayne]

Pretty high profile comments from other coaches.

“It’s a disrespectful thing to do,” Stanford coach David Shaw told Yahoo Sports. “That doesn’t sound overly harsh. But for me being a lifer in this profession and a coach’s kid, I believe in respecting our profession and respecting the other people in the profession. Doing things that you’re not supposed to do just to gain an advantage, I take offense to that.”

Added Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick: “If there was ever a time when everyone following the same rules was critical, it’s now during a pandemic and during a time of such national scrutiny on college athletics.”
