Ocean State University (OSU) signed the top men’s basketball prospect, Pick N. Roll, yesterday. The NLI and accompanying financial aid agreement were signed at 7:00am, and the compliance director emailed the forms to the Ocean Eleven Conference later that day.
As you can see by the picture on the right, this was quite an event. The OSU coach and AD hand delivered the papers to Pick’s house. Present for the signing were Finger Roll and Allee Oop (parents), Dribble Roll (brother), Lobster Roll (sister), I.M. Overzealous (OSU Coach- hat) and IMA Breakin-Rules (OSU Director of Athletics). A local TV station was also on hand for this event.
The first 25 people who properly identify 5 violations from this fact pattern, press release, and picture will win an Ocean State University Orcas hat! This hat could be a collector’s item as OSU is likely headed to the committee on infractions this spring. Tweet the answer using the hashtag #OrcasNLI. One winner per institution will be awarded.
I will follow up with the winner and the violations OSU has committed.
Good luck!
