Ex A&M LB Santonio Marchiol implicates Jimbo Fisher’s football staff in multiple NCAA violations

The allegations are fairly straightforward, as detailed in Sam Khan’s article on ESPN.com

  1. Marchiol alleges that, while at A&M during Jimbo Fisher’s first offseason in College Station, Fisher’s staff gave A&M players cash to host recruits to make sure that they had a good time. He claims this occurred twice with him.
  2. He alleges that A&M held illegal practice hours beyond NCAA rules - including conditioning drills at 5:30am (not allowed to hold them before 6am), “voluntary mandatory” meetings and excessive practice time initiated by coaches.
  3. Marchiol alleges he was treated improperly and inadequately for an injury by A&M training staff.
