Iowa Basketball Recruiting Violation

[wxman1]

Iowa facing NCAA violations?

During the ISU Iowa football game they allowed recruits two of whom were Josh Ogelsby of CR Wash and Marcus Paige from Linn-Mar to meet with celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. They knowingly did this and did not stop it...

They admitted it because they knew they were going to get busted. Probably a good move because the NCAA will probably go easy on their punishment now.

This all goes back to Fred Mims' lack of authority and control over the Iowa coaching staffs. The Director of Compliance at any university should leave no questions in coaches' and and ex-players' minds about what the rules are.

I seem to remember that Harrison Barnes saw MJ, but MJ did not talked to him b/c of this rule. I imagine schools like USC are snickering at this as they must violate these rule daily.

It is really a stupid rule.... But the university is also getting in trouble for a couple of former basketball player oliver and someone else that talked to them after a pick up game...

Also I thought that HB was pumped to "meet" MJ on his visit... but i could be wrong....

My first thought as well.

Pretty stupid by whoever was in charge of showing the guys around. That said, I really don't think much will come of this, about as minor as you will hear of in most cases.
Truth be told, the way last season went, they might actually have some sympathy for us

 

[Cyforce]

There might be a loophole with MJ, given that he's a former North Carolina player. Perhaps if Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were former UIowa players, the loophole would have applied to them, too. Just guessing.

The violation was Evans, Oliver and Kutcher so I don't think MJ would be a loophole.

I do not understand the issue. The kids are not gaining any monetary gain. How is meeting someone illegal? This just makes a slap in the face that everyone is equal. I would comment more but would be moved to the cave.

What a dumb rule. A North Carolina recruit can go and meet Michael Jordan because he played there, but they can't meet some hack actor at a football game? Stupid.

I was once asked my opinion about something on the news-- do you think a recruit could meet me?

I can't imagine that we want them to either way.......................:smile::v_SPIN::v_SPIN:

Iowa violates these minor rules on a regular basis, so I'm surprised they self-reported this.

And yes, UNC violated NCAA rules during their recruitment of HB. Duke likely did as well.

It was the free pizzas that got them in trouble......They should learned from last year that it doesn't help to give out free pizzas to gey people to attend men's BB games

 

[Cysrevenge]

so the recruits had to meet someone that sucks (kutcher), and it was a violation?

DOUBLE FAIL!

Please lookup the difference between UNOFFICIAL VISIT (IOWA) and OFFICIAL VISIT (NORTH CAROLINA). THAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE

So the difference is two letters?

 

[BlackHawk]

"NCAA rules prohibit potential high school recruits from having any contact with individuals considered to represent a university's athletic interests because of the potential influence boosters can have on the recruiting process."


So Demi and Ashton have potential influence on recruiting at Iowa, but Michael Jordan has no potential influence on recruiting at NC?

The NCAA is a joke

Agreed. Pretty stupid. Wasn't MJ involved in a pick up game with Barnes or something like that?

 

[Acylum]

Kutcher and Moore = Tavern Hawks. If they want to use them I say go ahead.
