Someone got the snitch back.

-----
Marchiol, who played for Sumlin at Texas A&M last season before deciding to transfer recently, alleged in a USA Today story that he was given hundreds of dollars in cash by assistant coaches to host recruits on unofficial visits; the staff conducted offseason workouts that were longer than NCAA rules allow; and the training staff mishandled his ankle injury.
Marchiol made his allegations in an attempt to gain immediate eligibility at Arizona rather than sitting out a season, as NCAA transfer rules require.

a Hudl video, linked to an account believed to be Marchiol's, surfaced Friday. The clip includes two people discussing footage of a Texas A&M scrimmage from April. A voice in the clip refers to several black players as "monkeys."

Sumlin declined to provide further details for the decision, but a source told ESPN that Santino's removal from the roster was because of the video.

USA Today story. Interesting take on how this may impact Maryland:

The larger issue for the NCAA, however, was whether Marchiol might begin a trend of athletes using damaging information against their former schools in waiver requests based on a new NCAA policy allowing immediate transfer eligibility if there were “documented mitigating circumstances that are outside student-athlete’s control and directly impact the health, safety and well-being of the student-athlete.”
Marchiol, however, will not be that test case now that Arizona has parted ways with him.

Did not like the fact the kid did it because he wanted to play this year. Go down a level and play there.

Never like it when the "victim" first goes along with what he knows is wrong (took the money) and then seems to think it is OK to point fingers when it is to his perceived advantage. I would not hire this guy to pick up garbage.

Cut the kid some stack, he is planing to go into politics.
