The key thing is that Jimbo has a show cause order as a repeat violator. Basically it says he willfully violated the rules-again. Given the pandemic, these penalties probably don't hurt them much.

"The Texas A&M football program violated NCAA recruiting and countable athletically related activity rules between January 2018 and February 2019, according to an agreement released by the Division I Committee on Infractions. The head football coach also violated NCAA head coach responsibility rules.

The university, head coach and NCAA enforcement staff agreed that the head coach and an assistant coach had impermissible recruiting contact with a prospect at his high school. The conversation was impermissible because it occurred before the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school.

Regarding the countable athletically related activity violations, during permissible weeks of spring and summer activity, the football program unintentionally caused student-athletes to exceed activity time limits by approximately seven hours.

According to the agreement, the head coach failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance because of his personal involvement in the recruiting violation. The agreement also said the head coach failed to monitor his staff when he did not ensure the program was staying within the allowable number of countable athletically related activity hours...."


"...One years of probation.
A fine of $5,000.
A reduction in football official visits by 17 days during the 2019-20 academic year.
An off-campus recruiting ban for the entire football coaching staff for November 2019, which reduced the permissible evaluation days for the 2019-20 academic year by 19.
A seven-day off-campus recruiting ban for the football coaching staff for the 2020 spring off-campus recruiting period and a 10-day off-campus recruiting ban for the football coaching staff for the 2020 fall off-campus recruiting period.
The university ended its recruitment of the prospect.
A ban on recruiting any prospects from the prospect's high school for the 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years.
A six-month show-cause order for the head coach. The terms of the show-cause order include a previously served nine-day ban on phone calls, emails or texts with prospects in January 2020; a reduction in off-campus recruiting contact days by three for the December 2019 through January 2020 contact period; a ban on all off-campus recruiting activities for the fall 2020 contact period; additional one-on-one rules education; and a public statement from the head coach addressing the violations...."

As a UT fan, Jimbo can keep doing what he's doing. He's going OOS for players that aren't better than kids within TX. This guy is just flossing aggy.

Q: would this allow Texas A&M to fire Fisher "with cause" and get out of their $75M guaranteed contract?

I think OOS defensive players are better.

Sure.. I guess Bama, LSU, UT must be forced into getting the scraps of TX HSFB compared to the beasts of the North East HSFB players huh?
