It's not the compliance officers that should've known - if anyone should've noticed what was going on, it's the coaches. The compliance officers aren't the ones who are with these young men every day. The compliance officers don't know to do anything until somebody comes to them with an irregularity or a question.

good point about the coaches, but as a DI athlete you have to fill out a form to get a job and turn that into compliance if you are on scholarship

That is what I thought also. If you have 5-10% (so far) of your football team working at one place, ya think you might want to stop by and say howdee??

This is what happened to Huggins a few years back and they killed him for it.

I disagree. A great athlete is a great athlete. Experience and basic assignment football is as important to a secondary as pure talent, and the lack of experience was OU's problem. The talent was definitely there though, IMO.

Wolfe had 65 tackles, 5 TFLs, 2 INTs, and 10 PBU as a soph. He was an All Big-XII honorable mention last year and showed tremendous speed considering he wasn't playing his "natural" recruited position.

I'll give you the claim that the secondary had a bunch of weak links last year, but I'll dispute that talent was the reason, or that Wolfe didn't have the makings to be a top CB, especially with two more years at OU ahead of him.

You're right, I guess I was being unfair, he was pretty inexperienced. I guess my opinion of him is a little tainted after I saw him get burned repeatedly by Billy Pittman (that and I'm in Sooner hatin' mode right now). I'll withhold judgement till I see him this year.

Who and when was this? Not a UC fan but live in the area and never heard of it.

10-15 YEARS AGO. There were a few kids that were working at a company in Blue Ash (I think) that were paying for little to no work. It was one of the biggest events that gave Thugs the reputation that he enjoys today. I am fairly sure that Probation or something like that was the punishment.
