The IMG Academy in Florida has several highly sought-after football recruits in the 2016 class and the NCAA is watching them closely. According to UTSA assistant Eric Roark, five college coaches were busted by the NCAA for breaking the ‘bump’ rule. Roark’s tweet has been deleted:

The ‘bump’ rule prohibits contact between coaches and players during designated no-contact periods in the recruiting cycle.
Update: The NCAA says this is incorrect and they were not in attendance at IMG yesterday:
Contrary to tweet going around, while enforcement staff does attend recruiting events, NCAA was NOT in attendance at IMG event yesterday.
