OT: Craziest offers to recruits --ESPN video
Plucked up the courage enough to take a stab at my first post.
ESPN shot a quick video of the craziest offers coaches and fans have made to potential recruits. From Ty Isaac being offered a car, to a child asking a Florida recruit to commit, and not surprisingly a recruit being accompanied by identical twins all night.
Here is the link: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8867174
Interesting to note the schools & conferences many of these kids are into as they heard these offers.
I will try to embed in the comments, but I am assuming I will need help.
Thanks for reading. Hope my first post wasn't a bore! Open to suggestions.
EDIT: Well, mods, feel free to take this down. Looks like ESPN has since removed the video. So much for a first impression on my part.
EDIT EDIT: Whirlwind of a first post, but turns out MgoUser TRUBLUMICH has saved the day! I'll upvote him all day.

If the NCAA gave a damn, they'd offer monetary rewards for whistle blowers.
What? I can get a car, chicks, and $50,000 if I keep my mouth shut OR I get nothing, WIlly Wonka style, if I blow the whistle? Hmmmm. What ever will I choose?
Without subpoena power, paying informants will be the only way.

So how are so many schools still able to commit recruiting violations with no consequences? I am not naive enought to believe that all schools would be caught, but it doesn't seem like there is a disincentive for a school or its boosters to offer something impermissible.

Those kids seem more mature than the adults surrounding them.
