On Tuesday evening, an explosive new report from USA TODAY detailed allegations against coach Jimbo Fisher and his Texas A&M staff made by former LB Santino Marchiol.

Marchiol, who followed former coach Kevin Sumlin to Arizona, made some serious claims against his former school, including that he was paid to host recruits on “unofficial” visits.

While it’s possible that stuff like that goes on around the country, the fact that Marchiol brought it up in his waiver request to try to get immediate eligibility for Arizona is intriguing. Could this, in fact, be a blueprint for future transfers?

The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel said Marchiol’s decision to speak publicly on the matter applies pressure to the NCAA:

SB Nation’s Wescott Eberts thinks this could be a wake-up call for coaches. If former players can air violations in exchange for immediate playing time (which we don’t know if the NCAA will grant to Marchiol or not), it puts pressure on coaches to keep their programs clean:

Again, we don’t know if the NCAA will rule in Marchiol’s favor or not, but if he does get immediate eligibility, it gives a ton of power to transferring players from here on out.
