College Football Fans Pointing Out Hypocrisy Amongst NCAA's Recruiting Violation Punishments
Following Tuesday's news of Oklahoma Sooners running back coach DeMarco Murray being suspended for one game by the NCAA due to recruiting violations, college football fans have begun to point out the disparity in punishment compared to what former Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh received. Murray, who enters his fifth season at his alma mater, earned a one-game suspension from the NCAA for impermissible contact with recruits. The conduct by Murray involved contacting 17 recruits over 16 months, including 65 impermissible phone calls and 36 impermissible text messages. Oklahoma discovered the activity through a routine phone records review. The relatively weak punishment from the NCAA has sparked outrage, particularly among Michigan fans, who believe that Murray should have received a more severe penalty compared to what Jim Harbaugh received on August 7.
