The doldrums of college football received some fresh air Thursday afternoon, thanks to an NCAA announcement of sanctions on Texas A&M football.
According to the sport’s governing body, here’s what happened.
The university, head coach and NCAA enforcement staff agreed that the head coach and an assistant coach had impermissible recruiting contact with a prospect at his high school. The conversation was impermissible because it occurred before the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school.
The head coach part obviously refers to Jimbo Fisher. It has since been revealed that the assistant coach in question was, in fact, current Tennessee running backs coach Jay Graham.
