This being a secondary violation tells you how stupid the rules are. Something thatg is fun for the kid, creative and doesn't involve a pay-off should be legal. Do you know that having a recruit walk through a fog machine is a violation? It is just nuts
"That opulence did not touch what McFarland saw on a visit to U.S.C. the weekend after Thanksgiving. After beating Notre Dame, U.S.C. players rented a stretch Hummer and took him to a party. It worried Adams that her son might become enthralled with such luxury.

"USC scheduled one anyway -- and sent the conspicuous vehicle to deliver Price to Heritage Hall last month.
Price did not get into the chauffeur-driven automobile -- a Lincoln Town Car, according to USC; a limousine, according to Price's father and other witnesses --"
Asked if he knew the difference between a Town Car and a stretch limousine, Frank Price said, "That limo was long. That was no Town Car."
"During his signing day press conference, McKnight alluded to a speaker-phone conversation he was on between Pete Carroll and Reggie Bush as the latter explained away the NCAA charges being bandied about in regards to agents, money, etc. McKnight's coach, J.T. Curtis, said his player misspoke and never talked to Bush during the recruiting process -- something that would have been a secondary recruiting violation. On the West Coast, defensive tackle Brian Price's father claimed that USC sent a limousine to pick up his son for a recruiting visit, another secondary recruiting violation."
