Pretty sure they learned their lesson after not trying to use the Football violations to fire Frost for cause when they had the chance. I doubt they will make that same mistake with Fred.

The thing with Abdelmassih is he was not a great recruiter (in my opinion) even when throwing cash around.
Yeah, they go clear back to high school when they both took official visits to Arizona at the same time.
At least Ollie won a few games and a natty.
So is Fred no longer going to be known as the "Mayor" around Cyclone Nation?
If you’re going to break the rules, you’d better win.
NU now has justification to tell the staff to take a hike.

Half-serious question here...what even counts as a recruiting violation anymore?
I love the Matt A bashing…as if Fred and the rest of the staff didn’t know what was going on.
Two rules as a coach:
1) have a guy do your dirty work
2) never communicate with that guy in writing

Fred should have done things the right way, like Scott Drew at Baylor.
With the new NIL, is there such a thing as a recruiting violation? It seems not to me.
I don't doubt the findings but I completely agree. This seems oddly convenient. Similar to their football violations from last year that came to light (improper use of analysts and consultants during practices and games).
It's almost like someone higher up is trying to pave a way for their athletic department to get out of these contracts.
Did we ...dodge a BULLet by The Mayor leaving?
The real reason Pollard wasn't *that* upset Fred left and that Fred was never coming back to Ames.
He did land Royce White and DeAndre Kane and some of the more "minor" transfers.
Not sure he had much in terms of guys out of high school or prep school.
Those were mostly TJ guys.
There has been some smoke, but I’m not sure I’m ready to take the word of a podcast host with fewer than 300 Twitter followers.
There are still restrictions on when you can contact recruits to name just one area.
I’m going to assume these violations happened prior to NIL, but I could also see Matt being an absolute moron and not going through the proper procedures while “paying” players.
Yep. Thats why Coach Bell had Happy get Ricky Roe’s family that tractor. He had clean hands.
Fred was only great because of Iowa State. He fit ISU like a glove and ISU fit him. He sucked in Chicago and sucks in Lincoln. Dude should have never left Ames. His coaching career is essesntially over.
