If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'!!

Speaking of "finding jobs" for family members of recruits, I wonder why there was no uproar from Gator fans when Muschamp hired Vernon Hargreaves III's sister to a support staff job at UF (she's actually now at USCe w/ Muschamp again).

Was she qualified to fill that position? This happens in all business aspects, family members get preferential treatment over those applying for the same job. This unfortunately is a business to some, and is run that way. See Casino, and the slots manager. Sometimes you have to "grease" the wheels. It's not necessarily illegal, but everyone knows this happens in every business.

I don't know if she was qualified, I doubt it was a rocket scientist position, so she probably was "qualified"....but she was certainly a family member of a top recruit we were after. That was my point. It happens. Was it cheating? Who knows? But we certainly employed a family member of a top recruit.....like other schools that get accused of cheating do (i.e. doing the same thing).

Didn't we give Charlie Weis's kid a job? Not a recruiting thing, just curious.

Well, it wasn't a "job". He was a freshman at UF and was given a "student assistant" "job". He then transferred to Kansas w/ his dad.....and got the same set up. But he wasn't a player so it's really comparing apples and oranges.

I know, that's why I said it wasn't a recruiting thing, just couldn't remember the details.

Gerard "Big Money" Warren had a family member that lived 2 doors down from me. He had a fancy SUV with 20's on it and a tag that said "BIG MONEY"

You tell me... :whiste:
