I can't imagine that we want them to either way.......................

Iowa violates these minor rules on a regular basis, so I'm surprised they self-reported this.

And yes, UNC violated NCAA rules during their recruitment of HB. Duke likely did as well.

It was the free pizzas that got them in trouble......They should learned from last year that it doesn't help to give out free pizzas to gey people to attend men's BB games

so the recruits had to meet someone that sucks (kutcher), and it was a violation?

DOUBLE FAIL!

Please lookup the difference between UNOFFICIAL VISIT (IOWA) and OFFICIAL VISIT (NORTH CAROLINA). THAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE

So the difference is two letters?

So Demi and Ashton have potential influence on recruiting at Iowa, but Michael Jordan has no potential influence on recruiting at NC?

The NCAA is a joke

Agreed. Pretty stupid. Wasn't MJ involved in a pick up game with Barnes or something like that?

Kutcher and Moore = Tavern Hawks. If they want to use them I say go ahead.

two terrible actors.

one with two terrible enhancements.

If Iowa wants to hook recruits..get Tom Brokaw/Gene Wilder in the illegal activities.

not two wore/whored out twitter celebs.

maybe we can get Jake Johannsen to start hooking us up?

I just saw on WHO a quote from Mims that "the university is remorseful" about these violations. No accountability at all. Nothing will come of this, but am guessing the NC2A is not too impressed with his non-apology. C'mon, how can a university feel remorseful?

Unless (and this is too horrible to contemplate) THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HAS BECOME SELF-AWARE!

Brokaw graduated from the University of South Dakota after dropping out at Iowa, so he's not even an alumni.
If I met Ashton Kutcher on a recruiting visit I would probably go to the school farthest away from Iowa after telling him that Just Married and My Boss's Daughter are two of the worst movies ever made.

I kind of liked those movies. And The Butterfly Effect was awesome. Did Kutcher graduate from Iowa or drop out to persue his modelling career?

They HAD to self report this. The kids were telling everyone how they met the actors on their visit. Facebook, twitter, etc. The University had to make a premptive move or it would have been worse.
