Illegal recruiting and violations?

If someone paid off a player there could be like an NCAA investigation once the player graduated and you would answer a series of questions etc. If found guilty, you get a ban and lose scholarships in direct variation to what you did. I dont know about you but if this gets implemented id surely weigh the pros and cons of maybe reaching out with a little cash to bring in a big time recruit that would forever change my program and the way i recruit. Sure i might get penalized but if my prestige goes up because of his performance perhaps i can get better players from it. It opens the door to things like that if implented correctly. Anyone else interested in possible recruiting violations?

I am sure the NCAA would not appreciate even being asked if stuff like this could get in the game.

On last gen, there were player suspensions. It would have to be personal conduct issues, though (partying, skipping class, missing practice, etc...). It would make the game more realistic but I don't see it happening. Perhaps a recruit could get in trouble and you'd lose him, but other than that, I think EA's hands are probably tied here.

Use the brain that you have, and think about some common sense. You obviously don't think it's wrong to cheat as long as you don't get caught if you're promoting the idea that it should be in the game. You say it's cause you want to make the game more realistic, that would NOT make it that way. Why? Well, if YOU are willing to cheat and take a risk to get a top prospect, then why wouldn't other schools do the same? It would come down to, who can offer more money and the recruiting system would be pointless. 2 year ban of bowl games and 30 prospects. If you can get a Reggie Bush for that and win 2 out of maybe the 3 or 4 years he's there, it's worth it to lose 2 bowl games and 30 prospects. Bottom line, they are never going to allow you to cheat. You might as well tell them to put steroids in too no? Let them put roids in baseball and football games. Let you lie about your age in baseball and basketball. Let you pay the refs to get foul calls your way in the NBA. But heck, your logic is that it's okay to cheat if you don't get caught.

Uh, an Agent not related with USC gave Bush extra benifits (some of which include a house for his parents, travel expenses, etc...). Notice the word "Agent" and the words "not related with USC".


Obviously somebody has been watching too much ESPN, huh?

Seriously....I think I may find a football player at the University of Florida or better yet FUCLA or Oregon that is stupid enough to let me buy them a car and then turn them in two years later for it....

You do know that your coaching staff was fully aware of what was going on, right? Sure, the report may say that it was only one assistant coach, but I have a hard time believing the whole staff didnt know. And also the "agent" was a USC booster, or at least I thought. But anyway, thats beyond the point. At least one member of the coaching staff was fully aware of Reggie Bush not being an amateur athlete, as defined by the NCAA.

Also, one would think that with all the trips they were going on, it would have thrown up a red flag..
