Alabama is cheating! Alabama is cheating! Sound the fake outrage alarms!
From Joe Rodgers of SportingNews.com:
Five of the 13 violations were in football, and one resulted in a football player being declared ineligible for one game after being over-awarded scholarship money due to a computer entry error. The violation was linked to linebacker Trey DePriest, who repaid the money and was reinstated.
Seven of the violations were related to text messages, emails or calls to recruits during periods when such contact is prohibited, or in excess of the allowed number of contacts in a given time period.
Another NCAA violation student-athletes committed was when numerous football players were cited for promoting a movie on social media last summer after receiving free passes. While passes are allowed under NCAA rules, promoting the movie was an NCAA violation.
I assume the intern that made that computer entry error is imprisoned in the bowels of Alabama's palatial football facility.
