This is unfortunate. I wonder what will come about with all of this. I feel like the money allegation will lead nowhere since nothing can be traced. The practicing could lead to a slap on the wrist, and the injury issue is a nothing burger as well.

Or he could seek a waiver from the NCAA, which this year approved a policy change that allows transfers to play immediately 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."

Due to the urgency of getting a waiver so that he doesn't lose a year of eligibility, Marchiol was willing to give a lengthy interview to USA TODAY Sports about what he experienced after Fisher was hired. While Marchiol's intention was not to ensnare Texas A&M in an investigation, he was determined to give a full account in order to give him the best chance at playing right away.

Marchiol said the money went toward drinks and snacks, but he had no record of the cash or purchases made with it and kept whatever wasn't spent. He said he did not give any of it to the recruits

This article is horribly written. Very confused as to the timeline of the accusations.

Either way, it paints Marchiol in a very bad light in my opinion. It seems that, in trying to take the easy way out, he ended up in a mess..

"Hey dad for the past three days now the involvement with the coaching staff has not vanished, like it should have, but rather increased as they are now full-on coaching us during a full practice. We are not allowed to meet/practice at all and the coaches are doing it every day and telling us not to say anything. How ridiculous is that."
