Brian Hartline Accused Of Breaching NCAA Recruitment Rule
It is now claimed, nevertheless, that the two violated NCAA rules by having touch again on Friday (as seen in the photo). Hartline is permitted to speak with Smith once a week in his capacity as a coach; this happened on Thursday. An NCAA infraction occurs for any second in-person visit in a week.
There is no one better to sell a high school talent on the program in Columbus than someone who played seven years in the NFL after enjoying great success as a Buckeye. Hartline is key.
Michigan fans, there are rules to this.

He is, however, facing charges this week in Florida related to alleged recruitment violations. It is a very trivial, utterly ambiguous, and unproven accusation, but it may be true.
Hartline spent Thursday night at Jeremiah Smith’s house. When it comes to college football recruits in the Class of 2024, Smith is the top-ranked wide receiver.
Hartline reportedly paid Smith another visit on Friday while watching a state championship game from the stands.

That is technically unlawful if that is true. A coach is only permitted one in-person visit each week by the NCAA.
On Thursday and Friday, Brian Hartline was not permitted to see Smith in any manner. He broke the rules if he went to speak with the pass-catcher while at the game.
Naturally, one should take the charge with a grain of salt as it comes from a Florida State supporter who also identifies as a “reporter.” Furthermore, the picture of Smith taken in the bleachers is quite hazy.
