Alabama commit Landon Collins' mother accuses Saban of violation

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/01/alabama_commit_landon_collins_1.html

April Justin, the mother of Alabama football commitment Landon Collins who made headlines when she expressed her disapproval of her son's decision on live television, alleges in an interview that Alabama head coach Nick Saban offered a job to Collins' girlfriend, which would be an apparent NCAA violation.

MomsTeam.com writer Brooke de Lench wrote that "according to April, Victoria had allegedly been offered a job to work in head coach Nick Saban's office.

According to NCAA rules:

"During a two-year period before a prospective student-athlete's anticipated enrollment and a two-year period after the student-athlete's actual enrollment, an institution shall not employ an individual associated with the prospective student-athlete in any athletics department non-coaching staff position."

Brooke de Lench said she was unable to confirm the allegations and cited University of Alabama Associate Athletics Director Doug Walker, who said in an email to de Lench that Alabama "would not comment on anything relating to the recruitment of a prospective student-athlete." Asked if Landon's girlfriend had been offered a job, Walker stated, "I have no information regarding that."
 
As if Saban is that naive... she needs to back off this. I know it's her child, but she's gonna hurt him in the long run.

That is what I was thinking. The NCAA will be watching him and her. Anything comes up brand new and she and him is toast.
 
In 3 years, this kid won't be heard from again. Mom is going to screw this up somehow. LSU must have promised her the world if her kid signed to play there. :lmao:
 
Obvisouly April don't understand that she can hurt her son's eligibility but making such statement...she need to settle down and let this situation go...she can't hurt Bama without hurting her son.

This is why fathers need to be in the household with these kids!!!!!

Hmmm.

It seems that the father did a good job with this kid even though he was not in the home with him. I think the real problem here is the mother is envious that the son has given his father's advice and guidance more credence than her's.

Not that I entirely disagree with you though ....
 
He was living with his dad...so I thought. She's going to ruin any relationship she has with her son.
 
I hope she has a good sports package because at the rate she is going, she will only see her son play on tv.

You are correct baby girl. I should have said daddies, because any man can father a child, but only a real man can lead and be a daddy. Thanks for the correction. :tup: In this case, his mother needs guidance, instead of emotions like most women operate on. :tup:

*nods*

I think she feels left out of the decision and less important.

However, in trying to establish her importance and weight in the decision-making process, she's forgetting what's most important - her son and his future.

Somebody needs to tell her to get her feelings in check and go sit down.
 
I disagree... His dad wasn't/isn't an absentee dad from what I've read. This sounds like more of a case of Mom not being able to deliver on a promise and she's pissed. If there's anyone that needs to be investigated, it's mom and LSU to see why she's so adamant about him going there! Wait... why am I even commenting on this. His azz should have gone to Grambling!
 
yeah he had been living with his dad since Hurricane Katrina from what Ive read.... I wonder if she knows she wont be able to go to any Bama home games......Folks dont forget faces.
 
In a few years she will tell the story of how LSU's recruitment of her son ruined their relationship. She will probably tell it all......what she was promised, etc.

Thats what I was thinking.
She has dang sure burned her bridge as for watching him in person at Bamma. She better scope out her a Lux. Box at Bryant-Denny. Sitting in the bleachers with those necks might not be the best thing for her to do on gameday. :goof:

Not only is Landon in jeopardy but her other son who will be coming out in a couple of years...these school are not going to want to recruit him if it turns out to be something more on this story.
 
the article has been updated.... that NCAA rule ONLY applies to mens basketball.... so she just made herself ONLY looks "dumber" LOL

The NCAA passed a new bylaw in 2010 pertaining specifically to men's basketball that prohibits a university from employing an individual associated with a prospective student-athlete. This bylaw, however, does not apply to college football recruits. According to NCAA bylaw 13.8.3.2:

"In men's basketball, during a two-year period before a prospective student-athlete's anticipated enrollment and a two-year period after the student-athlete's actual enrollment, an institution shall not employ an individual associated with the prospective student-athlete in any athletics department non-coaching staff position."

The writer is the one who pulled out the (wrong) bylaw. All the mom did was say the girlfriend was offered a job.
 
The mom obviously had some side goings with LSU and she was convinced that she could *cough* cashin...she looks like a "Sneaky Red Bone with gold hair" u cant trust her but she is still fine tho!
