Did other schools do what Arizona State allegedly did in the pandemic?
We cant say for sure that ASU is guilty of a recruiting violation. That still has to be proven and confirmed. Yet, we can say with confidence that the Sun Devils tested the limits of the rules and have been aggressive in seeing how far they could go. Recruiting coordinator Antonio Pierce  also the defensive coordinator for the Sun Devils under head coach Herm Edwards  has become a much-disliked figure in Pac-12 circles for this very reason. John Canzano of The Oregonian, 750 AM radio in Portland, and his Bald Faced Truth podcast asked national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins of 247 Sports about Arizona State:  Schools are always doing stuff, Biggins said. If I ever wanted to do a tell-all book it would be a best seller. On how bad it was at ASU: Ive seen a lot worse not called out, if that makes sense. On who typically blows the whistle on NCAA violations: You dont see too many school turn each other everyone is doing a little bit of something. If you turn someone in, youd better be squeaky clean because that will come right back on you. Its not even so much players. Typically what happens is you have a disgruntled coach or he gets done wrong so he blows the whistle these schools are very smart and very strategic in how they do certain things so it cant be traced back to them. You dont see it so much with the players. You dont see it so much, school to school. A lot of times its a coach leaving a staff who blows the whistle.  If one was to make various assessments of the ASU situation, the odds are that Pierce will be pushed out before the season begins. Edwards and athletic director Ray Anderson are in big trouble as well, but Pierce is first in line on the chopping block. His head will roll before anyone elses if even a modest percentage of the alleged violations committed by ASU turn out to be true. Arizona State became a big offseason storyline for reasons it had hoped to avoid. We will see if any other program tried too hard to recruit and didnt do a good job of keeping its activities secret.
