Lambrect recruited this guy. Neuheisel isn’t the only one. This is a second of a series. Yesterday the rag wrote about Jeremiah Pharms.

This is the kind of stuff you get with the NCAA. I agree with Frank DeFord, time to change the rules concerning scholarships and college athletes.

My brother and I both played at Washington in the 80s....there was certainly monkey business at times, but I dont recall anything this extreme.

It is Lambright. Yes, Jim Lambright recruited this guy but Rick Neuheisel was the coach during most of Williams' career and therefore, the one who wasn't controlling him.

The one rule that would change things the most quickly: before an athlete can be offered a scholarship from a university, the student must obtain a standardized test score equal to the 50th percentile of the previous years' incoming freshmen class. In other words, make them qualify first as a student. How fast you can run or how high you can jump should not be a primary factor in getting admitted to college. Those student(?)-athletes who barely meet the NCAA minimums have NO business being university students.
