Former Texas A&M linebacker Santino Marchiol is alleging that members of head coach Jimbo Fisher’s new coaching staff committed potential NCAA violations.

Marchiol said he and one other Aggies’ were given cash from an assistant coach for the purpose of hosting recruits on unofficial visits. The news was first reported by USA Today.

He also claims that Texas A&M players worked with coaches over the maximum allotted time permitted by the NCAA.

In addition, Marchiol says that A&M’s medical staff mistreated and misdiagnosed an ankle injury. And that he was forced to practice through the injury, despite the pain, for a week.
