False. We have a wannabe hot shot alumni who sold a $6000 car for $4000. One of our boosters accepted money from a recruit and we get raw dogged. Oregon pays $25,000 to a "recruiting service" to hand deliver players and they get a slap on the wrist.
I don't believe it's entirely because they compete for national championships and we don't. I think it has everything to do with our compliance department.
From what I read, Oregon self-imposed these penalties. NCAA shot back an offer where they could keep their schollys and everything else and just sit out a bowl game, but that was denied... obviously.
Why can't Whit Waide be our compliance guy? How much does a compliance guy actually work? There is occasionally a mishap but other than that it's routine, run of the mill stuff. The big stuff is usually addressed in the summer months when he could decide not to teach a course.
