Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 5266288, member: 7894"] I remember Boise St. football team team got a slap on the wrist because some of their players took some recruits to Taco Bell and let them couch dive at their place. Pretty hideous recruiting tactics going on back in the day. But my all time favorite involved Arizona basketball. Bill Walton took his son Luke and his son's teammate/roommate Richard Jefferson to a Lakers' playoff game. Oh, you can't do that! I think Jefferson had to sit out 3 games. This wasn't a recruiting gimmick, both Luke and Richard were already at Arizona and were roommates and friends. If they weren't ball players, the family of your friend could take you on all expense paid month long trip to Europe or whatever, but pretty much everything was illegal according to the NCAA back then. As opposed to now, when as far as I can tell nothing is illegal. I must be some kind of idiot thinking there is possibly some middle ground between nothing is okay and everything is okay? [/QUOTE]
