Most Americans are grilling out or traveling or taking the Fourth of July off. Alabama is spending it by self-reporting 19 NCAA violations that span 11 sports.
From rivals.com:
The violations encompass 11 sports, including five against the football program, ranging from a former student-athlete providing free training to a current student-athlete, coaches having impermissible communication with prospective student-athletes including phone calls and text messages, and one incident where “a trophy was temporarily placed in an area where prospects taking an official visit would be, which resulted in an impermissible recruiting decoration of that area.”
The corrective action for the impermissible contact between members of the football staff and a prospective student-athlete called for the involved coach being prohibited from making recruiting calls for two weeks, no calls, recruiting materials, or electronic communication sent to the involved prospect for 30 days.
Give 'em the death penalty, NCAA! The Tide clearly deserve no less.
