The Lions' Pride

I am certain I heard it on a radio show that Fitz and Butler were on. The host was asking them about making phone calls to other schools coaches telling them to back off. They were talking about when they would find out a player was contacted that they would then call the coaches back at tell them to quit it. They also listened to voice mails from other schools coaches to our players. They seemed to get a kick out of it.

It was pretty funny. I just can't remember what radio show it was on, it was before the season started.

Was this the story about Steve Spurrier?
Something about how Spurrier said he wouldn't recruit any PSU players but they heard Spurrier leave a voicemail to one of our players trying to get him to SC?

Which part would be a violation?

The part that says that Penn State cannot interfere with possible transfers in any way. Here is an excerpt from the NCAA:

"Permission-to-contact rules are suspended. Penn State cannot restrict in any way a student-athlete from pursuing a possible transfer. Student-athletes must simply inform Penn State of their interest in discussing transfer options with other schools. Before communicating with student-athletes, interested schools also must inform Penn State of their intention to open discussions with the student-athlete."

Certainly up to interpretation, but telling the coaches to shove it doesn't prevent the student-athlete from pursuing anything if they want to.

I definitely agree with the OP.

I remember some folks stating that Butler could be a DC somewhere, if not here within time. Well, that time has come now! I'm really anxious to see how he does and what he can do schematically. I think given the lack of depth we had in our secondary, he seemed to get the most out of those guys all season long! Time to step it up and start gameplanning for him now. I think Butler will surprise some folks. I love his energy and passion!
