The story gets better:
Apparently, this is only a recruiting violation...for basketball. Football? A-OK with the NCAA!
God, what an absolute joke of a governing body.
His mom's name is Justin? WTF haha.

I saw this live on tv. Pretty sad. Wouldn't you be proud of your son for earning a scholarship to play football for the #1 team in the country. After seeing this, I don't blame the kid for wanting to get away from his mother!
He moved away from his mom a few years back. ESPN the Mag had a good article documenting the kid's upbringing and how he moved in with his father after Katrina.
It also documents how the mother feels left out and angry at her son's girlfriend (there was a big fight right before cameras rolled on them at the UA game when he committed over his girlfriend being on stage). I understand wanting what's best for your son, but when you go out of your way to put yourself in the spotlight over him, you should be ashamed.
All I have to say is read the ESPN the Mag article. Bama was his first choice. No cameras followed him (at least to the current extent) until his mother made herself the center of attention.That's only because there were no cameras or reporters following our every move. Had there been, I still would have counseled her. And others would have judged. He's following his current girlfriend to a school that was not his first choice. It matters not that it's a good football school. She's counseling her son to rethink his life choice. Nothing wrong with that.
