http://247sports.com/Article/Minnes...Fleck-find-an-ELITE-recruiting-looph-53104900
Following a pair of recruiting camps – "Night Under the Lights" and "Big Man" – Fleck tweeted out a video highlight promoting the Golden Gophers camp experience. It's just over a minute long, and it showcases what Minnesota's camps are like for prospects.
The video also features a number of recruits, which caused a bit of a tizzy. Per a source, a number of schools reported Fleck for committing a recruiting violation following his tweet. Institutions are not allowed to post videos of prospective student athletes for recruiting purposes, per NCAA rules.
However, per a compliance source, the Golden Gophers have found a loophole in an NCAA Interpretation that allows for the video.
Fleck is using the video as an advertisement for Minnesota's camps, which is allowed per NCAA rules: "It is permissible to post a photograph or video of a prospective student-athlete taken during the normal course of camp of clinic activities within permissible camp or clinic information and advertisements," the interpretation reads.
Basically, Fleck got creative, and it paid off.
