and I want all the travel, entertainment money returned for the past week. No fair putting your ASU recruiting efforts on our nickel.

EXACTLY!
Would love to see these coaches stuck with some recruiting violations to start their new gig for that one.

Aside from Bo Levi Mitchell did we poach any Hawaii recruits when he came here? I can't remember getting anyone else that year.

Big difference in poaching a recruit after taking the job and recruiting for another school when you are still employed elsewhere and using their resources to recruit.

F--k JJ, Steinberg and ASU. The buyout is 2 mill and not a penny less. I hope SO holds his water on that one. It will cost us a ton in lost recruits, wins etc. so step up to the bar and pay the friggin tab. :evil: :evil: :evil:

GO PONIES!!!

That's what I am getting at, but don't want to sound hypocritical! I don't remember getting any of their commits. I certainly know he wasn't recruiting for us on Hawaii's dime.

Hawaii didn't really have a single dime to spend on recruiting to begin with

We lost an entire recruiting season because he wouldn't interview until after the Sugar Bowl, so I don't think so.

Stick to it like a record company who traps an artist in a contract.
Gotta get my meanness out today somehow.
