AL.com noted that the most interesting football violation stemmed from a trophy being “temporarily placed in an area where prospects taking an official visit would be,” and that “resulted in an impermissible recruiting decoration of an area.”
Other self-reported violations by the football team included a former player providing free training to a current player, a coach calling a prospect for a second time during a week and coaches sending text messages to prospects.
The Tide men’s basketball team self-reported two secondary violations, one of which involved a coach retweeting multiple posts on Twitter that “mentioned specific non-institutional athletics events and prospective student-athletes’ teams” during the July evaluation period.
