NCAA hands down penalty after Gamecocks self-reports ‘impermissible contact’

Oct. 22, 2019

Gamecocks paid a $10,000 fine and lost several weeks of off-campus recruiting activity because a former assistant coach had impermissible contact with a sophomore recruit.

After the recruit visits unofficially, the coach sent an impermissible text and set up a meeting, which also was impermissible. According to a school release, 13 impermissible messages between January and June of 2018.

The outcome was reached through a “negotiated resolution process.

 
Yeah we can't have those impermissible text messages. 

Drugs and cars and stacks of cash are ok though.

 
Also. Word on the street is the recruit was Capehart, and it was the taters who reported us.

Man wish NCAA would do their job. We all know who the biggest cheater is in this State.

 
No excuse.   Recruiting is the lifeblood of a successful program and losing time and opportunities to communicate with them sets us back.

So the former assistant coach was Lance Thompson??

That's what I'm seeing on Reddit. Dunno how accurate that is though, but it appears we might have already served the whole non-contact period stuff, the fine has been paid, and the "probation" is basically a slap on the wrist with no real ramifications as long as things stay clean. If everything I'm reading is true, then this is a whole nothing burger with a side of onion rings and a root beer.

The same taters who have coaches bragging on FBI wiretaps about how their school cheats? Those taters? Ridamndiculous

 
This is the bottom line on this story:

According to ESPN, that unnamed coach is former South Carolina defensive line coach Lance Thompson. He left the Gamecocks in January and now coaches the defensive line at Florida Atlantic.

Before South Carolina, Thompson’s previous SEC stops include Alabama (1999-2000; 2007-08; 2012-14), Auburn (2015), LSU (2003) and Tennessee (2009-11).

ESPN also reports that the recruit Thompson contacted against the rules was IMG Academy defensive lineman Demonte Capehart. He committed to Clemson in June 2018.

Under the negotiated agreement that South Carolina and the NCAA came to after the conclusion of the investigation, Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp will only be allowed to have off-campus contact with 10 recruits during a two-week period in December. The NCAA also fined South Carolina $10,000.

Amazingly, Carolina's "impermissible contact" off the field gets an immediate and substantial fine.

Meanwhile, Florida's "impermissible contact" ON the field AGAINST South Carolina......crickets from the league office.

Not to mention this:

Looks like more or less the same offense. Not the same punishment though.

Seems like the big recruiting impact is the ban on off-campus visits by all coaches in September, 2019 and April, 2020.
