Report: Harvard testing NCAA rulesPosted: Sunday March 02, 2008 08:59AM ETHarvard does not award athletic scholarships. Yet the group of six recruits expected to join the team next season is rated among the nation's 25 best. This is partly because Harvard coach Tommy Amaker has set his sights on top-flight recruits. It is also because Harvard is willing to consider players with a lower academic standing than previous staff members said they were allowed to. Harvard has also adopted aggressive recruiting tactics that skirt or, in some cases, may even violate NCAA rules. Two athletes who said they had received letters from Harvard's admissions office saying they would most likely be accepted have described tactics that may violate NCAA rules, including visits from a man who worked out with them shortly before he was hired by Harvard to be an assistant coach.

I wonder if the visibility of this will get Stanford to ease back from the admissions changes they put in place a few years back that have undercut most of their major athletics programs.

Is this a basketball issue? B/c Amaker was just @ UM, and thus must have a PHD in cheating @ college basketball.
Fuck it though, the Fab was fun and worth the 6 figs.
