One of many examples of what a sham college football recruiting is. 

 

Joey Labbas, a quarterback from northeastern Ohio, committed to Ball State on May 11th. At the time, he was a 3 star QB ranked 39th in his class. 

 

Iowa, who has used Ball State as its own personal scouting department over the years, immediately swooped in and offered, and on June 3rd, Labas became a Hawkeye. 

 

The rankings have since updated, and Labas is now a 4 star ranked 11th in the class. He sure got a lot better in the last month. Keep in mind, nobody is actually evaluating these guys because of Covid-19 restrictions.

All is not well for Chip Kelly and UCLA Football per this from 247Sports -

As college football athletes around the country are starting to make their voices heard on social issues, the UCLA Bruins have banded together in the name of their own health. According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, UCLA’s players are demanding more protection when it comes to injuries and sickness.

30 UCLA players have thrown their support behind a document that states the players do not trust head coach Chip Kelly to have their best interest in mind as it pertains to health and wellness, per the report. Part of the document claims that the program has “perpetually failed us,” and there there have been several “neglected and mismanaged injury cases.” However, no specific incidents were listed in this document.

As a result of their misgivings, the players have called for a “third-party health official” to be present for football activities and to ensure that the COVID-19 safety guidelines are being followed. Another big demand in the document is that there be protection for anyone — player or coach — who reports any potential safety violations. If the school does not meet the players’ demands, they say they will boycott a number of promotional and recruiting events.

“These demands reflect our call for an environment in which we do not feel pressured to return to competition, and if we choose not to return, that our decision will be respected,” the players said in the document. “If our demands are not met, we will refrain from booster events, recruiting events and all football-related promotional activities.

“The decision to return to training amidst a global pandemic has put us, the student-athletes, on the frontlines of a battle that we as a nation have not yet been able to win. We feel that as some of the first members of the community to attempt a return to normalcy, we must have assurances that allow us to make informed decisions and be protected regardless of our decision.”

This is a developing situation for Kelly and the Bruins, and it doesn’t bode well for the head coach as he heads into his third year with the program.

Is the NCAA starting to demonstrate that it really does have some cajones?

 

Texas A&M football program violated NCAA rules

Download the July 2020 Texas A&M Public Negotiated Resolution Agreement

The Texas A&M football program violated NCAA recruiting and countable athletically related activity rules between January 2018 and February 2019, according to an agreement released by the Division I Committee on Infractions. The head football coach also violated NCAA head coach responsibility rules.

The university, head coach and NCAA enforcement staff agreed that the head coach and an assistant coach had impermissible recruiting contact with a prospect at his high school. The conversation was impermissible because it occurred before the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school.

Regarding the countable athletically related activity violations, during permissible weeks of spring and summer activity, the football program unintentionally caused student-athletes to exceed activity time limits by approximately seven hours.

According to the agreement, the head coach failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance because of his personal involvement in the recruiting violation. The agreement also said the head coach failed to monitor his staff when he did not ensure the program was staying within the allowable number of countable athletically related activity hours.

The university, head coach and the enforcement staff used ranges identified by the Division I membership-approved penalty guidelines for Level II-mitigated penalties agreed upon for the university and assistant coach and Level II-standard penalties for the head coach. Those and other penalties, approved by the Committee on Infractions, are detailed below:

  • One years of probation.
  • A fine of $5,000.
  • A reduction in football official visits by 17 days during the 2019-20 academic year.
  • An off-campus recruiting ban for the entire football coaching staff for November 2019, which reduced the permissible evaluation days for the 2019-20 academic year by 19.
  • A seven-day off-campus recruiting ban for the football coaching staff for the 2020 spring off-campus recruiting period and a 10-day off-campus recruiting ban for the football coaching staff for the 2020 fall off-campus recruiting period.
  • The university ended its recruitment of the prospect.
  • A ban on recruiting any prospects from the prospect's high school for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-222 academic years.
  • A six-month show-cause order for the head coach. The terms of the show-cause order include a previously served nine-day ban on phone calls, emails or texts with prospects in January 2020; a reduction in off-campus recruiting contact days by three for the December 2019 through January 2020 contact period; a ban on all off-campus recruiting activities for the fall 2020 contact period; additional one-on-one rules education; and a public statement from the head coach addressing the violations.

A six-month show-cause order for the assistant coach. The terms of the show-cause order include a previously served nine-day ban on phone calls, emails or texts with prospects in January 2020; a reduction in off-campus recruiting contact days by three for the December 2019 through January 2020 contact period; a ban on all off-campus recruiting activities for the fall 2020 contact period; and additional one-on-one rules education.

The panel noted the circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could impact how the remaining recruiting restrictions are implemented and encouraged the university to report any challenges with penalty implementation to the NCAA.

Members of the Committee on Infractions are drawn from the NCAA membership and the public. The members of the panel who reviewed this case were Alberto Gonzales, chief hearing officer for the panel, dean of the law school at Belmont and former attorney general of the United States; Joel Maturi, former Minnesota athletics director; and Joseph D. Novak, former head football coach at Northern Illinois.

It’s football. The NCAA doesn’t make that much, if any, from football.

Mountain West is now joining the BIG and Pac12 in deciding to play this fall. They will play an 8 game schedule starting October 24th like the BIG.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29965923/mountain-west-votes-play-8-game-schedule-starting-october

The list of leagues not playing is getting shorter by the day. In terms of FBS, I believe only the MAC has still not decided to play this fall.
