What's the reaction to this among the Arkansas folks? I found it on a link from CBS.

Wizard.of.Odds



Woo pig sooie! Arkansas might have some explaining to do after this image appeared Sunday on several Razorback message boards. It shows several recruits from this past weekend wearing personalized jerseys and posing for a picture in the team's locker room.

Look closely and you'll also see that the lockers have been personalized with names of the recruits.

Last we checked, creating a false game day environment was a big no-no according to NCAA rules. Can you say secondary violations?

The NCAA is looking to get tougher on secondary violations, in cases where coaches are repeat offenders.

Secondary violations can earn coaches suspensions

Just go ahead and call it the Lane Kiffin Rule: coaches who commit NCAA secondary violations in the name of recruiting can now face suspensions of up to two games . The days of head coaches willingly pushing the proverbial envelope and collecting slaps on the wrist like so many Pokemon sound like they may be over:

"This is our request: Anything that has to do with recruiting, if there's a proven violation, we want the ability for the NCAA to say this will cost you a week or a maximum of two weeks," [American Football Coaches Association executive director Grant] Teaff said."We as an association asked for that, and they granted that.
"We think that's a major step forward."
​
The NCAA does make clear that being found guilty of a secondary violation doesn't trigger an automatic suspension, and that "punishment could depend on the circumstances"; the coach or program who slips up somewhere once probably won't get anything more than the usual reprimand.

But some coaches -- like Kiffin during his abbreviated stay at Tennessee -- have seemed to treat the secondary violation as more bureaucratic annoyance than legitimate deterrent. This change is likely aimed at curbing those kinds of serial offenders, or the more obvious, flagrant violations, like recruits-running-out-of-the-tunnel gameday simulations.

As my friend Lee says, not so fast, my friend. We're talking SEC. Do you know as a matter of FACT--I repeat, FACT--that these players knew that they were standing in a locker room in personalized jerseys, in front of lockers with their names on them? For a FACT? I don't think so.

I'm not sure how they can say the jersey's were personalized, since you can't see the back of them. Granted, I know that Brey Cook (#74) wore #74 during his high school games, but still..

Also, as much of a gameday atmosphere that blue jeans, 1 helmet, and shoulder pads on top of the lockers presents, it's rather obvious that nothing will happen.
