UK has had to turn in a minor violation to the NCAA for something fans are doing on the internet to allegedly lure a prized basketball recruit to Kentucky.
Patrick Patterson is a main target in UK's 2007 recruiting class. Some UK fans allegedly have posted some things on Patterson's MySpace.com page that are NCAA violations. The postings try to entice Patterson to come to UK by including a photo of three UK Dance Team members with the comment, "This is what I hear MVP's of NBA camps are getting nowadays when they get on campus.....at the same time."
The women in the photo had no idea this was posted. A photo and caption of Ashley Judd has also been posted.
UK compliance director Sandy Bell is asking UK fans not to do this because of damage it could cause the basketball program. Bell says part of her job is monitoring the internet and message boards.
Only coaches can contact potential recruits.
