[NU Sports] Bielema Calls Out Meyer on Recruiting Tactics

[Roy S. Lamberton]

The next few years are going to be interesting, with dOSU's coach Urban Meyer being
abbreviated "UM" and a long time member of the Big 10 also wearing that digraph.

For a second, I thought someone had Urban's school wrong...until I linked up his full
name.

Points out that you really have to read e-mails before you respond....

Good to see Bielema calling UM out about poaching.

Based on the reports that I've read, UM actively recruits kids who have already given
verbal commits to other schools.  While this is a common practice in some leagues, and
certainly legal under NCAA rules, the unwritten rule in the BT is that you don't poach
from BT other schools.  Apparently nobody told UM.  

So how did UM assemble his great recruiting class in just a little over two months on the
job?  He stole one from MSU, one from Wisky, four from PSU, and two from other schools
outside the BT.  

These tactics pretty much transformed the SEC into an NCAA recruiting violations cesspool.


If this year's recruiting class is any indication, the BT may also become much more
competitive between schools.

It is tough to argue with the results because the SEC does out recruit every other
conference for top athletes, but at what cost?

Which could explain why dOSU changed coaches and still had a top 5 class grabbing 4
players from State Penn.

But what is great is that none of these rumors and complaints ever seem to involve NU.

Refreshing, now let the kids play.
